Weekly Flylady Thread 24 February 2025

Fayolle

Morning all,
Whoops, it seems that I forgot to post yesterday although in my head I had.
Jazee, don’t be hard on yourself, you’ve been under the weather for so long. Take it easy x
Yesterday was an outdoor flying day - morning at the allotment, afternoon in the garden. I did squeeze in a load of washing (dried outside) and HHI as a contribution to flying. Today is planned to be similar, although without the ironing pile to tackle, but a quick run round with the vacuum cleaner downstairs might happen.  Maybe, no guarantees. I have some bread dough brewing, so will cook that later when sorting out dinner.  I also need to bag my Mr M slot for next week. Meal plan for the week is done.

Round, it was still light here at 6pm yesterday. Hopefully you will be coming home in daylight next week.
Have a good day all. The wm has just finished so that can go out on the line and hopefully it warms up before the washing freezes out there.

I think I may be ill.🤒 Declutteritis?

I've been going through a Peter Rabbit biscuit tin of bits and bobs - rehoming and binning as appropriate. Once it's empty the tin can be recycled- not quite there yet*

Then I decided to move non food stuff items so they're all in one cupboard, instead of here and there.... which led to me me binning ood pasta and very ood vinegar....which led to me looking into the cupboard under the sink-  finding a new toothbrush (cross off shopping list), and organising soap and toothpaste- 7 tubes thereof. That's what happens when you don't know what you've got and what you haven't got.

I'm having a coffee. At this rate I'm going to end up being organised. 🤣🤣

* seriously- what does one do with used once birthday cake candles? Seems a shame to bin them.

Used candles, I just reuse them if possible otherwise it is B for bin.  Not worth faffing around with if only a few cms left.

Yesterday afternoon for what ever reason I cut the back lawn, as it was so uneven, it had a height grade of 4 just to take the top off and even it up. Looks so much better this morning.

So far today

Sorted fire

Fed cats / deer/  birds. Also put fat block in front garden feeder.

Entered meter readings for last months as I forgot on the 1st.

Sausage out of freezer to tonights bangers and mash dinner.

Fished out of the water butt with the rake, the downpipe off the guttering that had fallen in, reattached to the down pipe.

Walking now

Not sure what for the rest of the day.

Sun out.

Thank you kaz. If it was odd ends of candles I'd bin but they're barely used. Lit once for a few seconds, blown out, never used again. I know DS and DDil bake each other birthday cakes. I'll ask them if they want them.

Morning all. It's another beautiful day here.  I am skiving off church (our vicar being away this week, we have a visiting priest who I could never get on with at college) and will enjoy the peace and quiet here instead - and I might even manage to clear improve the state of my desk by the end of today!

So far I have recorded my BP (in preparation for my long-term condition review later this week), PUPA, S&S'd the kitchen and hoovered through downstairs.  I am hoping to have enough energy left to clean the windows in the kitchen and LR.  I'd do the DR too, but it means moving the heavy table first, so that will have to wait until DH is available to help.  I'll leave Rosie's walk until after lunch, then I might take her up onto the heath near the rock houses. 

Round, if you have large quantities of cake candles, you could offer them on Freecycle or FB to someone who makes  candles as a hobby/small business - as long as they're not the spluttery self-re-lighting sort, which IMHO are quite dangerous.         

Shower and coffee next.   Have a peaceful Sunday, everyone xxx

From my BR I've brought down an empty wooden box which I'm going to offer to P tomorrow - along with the two pairs of bootlaces already set aside for him.*

I've also brought down seven books for cs. Large hardbacks - so that's made room on the shelf. 

And I rescued a book from RoD1 and put it on the bookshelf - awarded to me Christmas 1970. Primary school me. I'd have been 10. Observer's Book of Wild Flowers. And I remember getting it. And Tina got the Observer's Book of Trees at the same end of term assembly. I wonder if she still has her book 🤔 

* no-one is allowed to leave empty handed when I'm having a bout of declutteritis 🤣

Right. I'm going to clean the bath. Then I'll dust the books ready to put in cs bag while the oven is warming up. Sounds like a plan.

Six books dusted and put in cs pile. 1 book dusted and held back for further perusal: Stress Management for Busy People. 🤔

Christmas bits removed from bottom drawer of CoD and put with the rest of the Christmas stuff. Owl plaque unboxed and hung in bedroom window. Only three things left in the drawer now. I think the scarf will go in cs box. That will leave a signed photo of The Seekers and an embroidered 'not my circus, not my monkeys' plaque in a hoop. I'll be keeping them. But they need a new home where they can be seen 🤔

Clean toilet ✅

And I've taken the tapestry that was sat in a bag by the hearth, dusted the bag, and put it in RoD2. That's a bit more LR floor.

I reckon your circus plaque would be good at work Round
