Weekly Flylady Thread 24 February 2025

Valli

I've taken Dad to the car storage/recovery place to get his beloved golf clubs and happily accepted a petrol donation.  This means I emptied the car boot so I've had a chance to sort through that.  Lots of washing on the line and it dried, unfortunately I stood on a sheet so I'll have to wash that again.  Most of the washing has been ironed.  I've sorted through knitting needles - almost all the ones so far are going.  If anyone needs any needles please shout!  IK've found a box for the excess reels of thread - don't want to throw them as there's such a good range of colours.

Been afair but of tidying.

Morning all xx 

I'm up, made my bed,  dressed,  packed my lunch bag,  completed Strands with five hints(and I'm still not sure what that was all about!), completed Wordle in four,  completed Connections with no lives lost in two minutes - sadistic setter must be on a day off, eaten breakfast and I'm supping my brew. 

Yesterday's training session seemed to go OK. Two lovely ladies who are coming again today. And who informed me that I'm training two of their colleagues next week. It would be nice to know these things wouldn't it? By 2pm we were all exhausted. They left at 3.... I think I'd recovered by 8pm. Just in time to watch Stacy sort out someone's life. Cottonwool telly - no thinking required.

I'll feed the birds and put out the recycling before I set off  - setting off early again as the roadworks are still there causing chaos at my usual commute time.

Have a good day.
Love to all.

Morning all
Glad yesterday went well, Round.
It seems that lots of GWS and healing vibes are needed for flyladies. Putting in my penny’s worth.
I’ve been in the WAC since 1.30am so I finally gave up after 7 o’clock and am listening to the rain on the windows whilst drinking a cuppa. Yesterday was lovely, washing got dried outside (not yet ironed à la Valli), not so likely today. DD has gone back to uni, along with bits from the fridge and larder. Mr M turned up a startling 25 minutes early yesterday, so it was lucky that DH was dressed and downstairs, or the poor delivery man might have been scarred for life with the first-thing-in-the-morning sight of me.
Today’s plan is being tweaked due to the weather. Admin is likely to be involved as DD occupied the office whilst she was here so yesterday’s Admin Day was postponed. This evening we are going to the cinema, for the first time in years. Definitely not my thing - going out in the evening, going to the cinema, or seeing the Led Zeppelin film. But in the cause of doing different things, I have agreed to go with DH. Just polishing my halo in readiness…
Have a good day all, I might even be back later if I have some flying to report.

Morning all, It's a dull start to the day here but milder than it has been lately.  

Not sure what happened yesterday I seem to get distracted and didn't get much of my list done, so I need to have a productive day today. 

My list for today
Attend uni lectures
Activate new bank card whilst in town.
Do paid stuff
Take the dog for a long walk
Do some exam revision
Write another 100 words for the uni assignment
Empty the living room bin
Put laundry away which was done at the weekend
Dust the living room
Check for cobwebs in the living room
Hoover the living room carpet
S&S bathroom
Attend community meeting this evening
Take DS to/from his drama group

I think that is everything that I need to get done today. Hope everyone has a lovely productive Wednesday.

Morning all xx 

I'm up, made my bed, dressed, taken my meds,  turned over the calendars, packed my lunch bag, completed Strands with two hints,  completed Wordle in three,  completed Connections with no lives lost,  eaten breakfast and I'm supping my brew. 

Yesterday's training went well. I wasn't happy about being asked to take calls for two other Services while I was training on a third. Just because I can doesn't mean I should be expected to! 

And then, to put the tin lid on it, I was asked if I'd start learning my new role in Macmillan this morning. Not after I'd trained everyone who needs training on Therapy and handed that job over. Today. This morning. Mid handover. 

I'm convinced TT is a lunatic asylum, we've been sectioned but nobody told us and the biggest lunatics run the place. (I have shared this theory widely at work and not one person has dismissed the idea! 🤷‍♀️)

Anyhoo. I'll feed the birds and put out the recycling before I set off early to beat the traffic snarl ups. 

Have a good day.
