Valli

morning all

day at home today, not sure if i’ll get much done while decorator here.

absolute mountain of ironing as have nowhere to iron (see above)

laters.

Morning.  Wordle in five, connections with one life left, strands with no hints, letter boxed in four words.

First work shift, dog walk and dailies done.  Also scrubbed kitchen sink.

Hope you're all having a good day.

Wordle in four, nothing doing on Connections, Strands without any hints.

Made another batch of yoghurt, boxed the first lot, made a fruit salad for tonight, rebaked a batch of oatcakes because they needed crisping up, watered all the new plants, grass seed and pear tree, topped up the bird bath.  Wormed and flea'd the dog, took her for a short walk around the block to show her that shutting her crate and putting her harness on doesn't mean she's going for a walk with the dogwalker ... and handed her over to the dog walker perfectly happy.  I want to cure her of her separation anxiety and this seems to be a step in the right direction.

Must:

- finish dusting the hall, stairs and landing,

- tackle yesterday's and today's Valli lists,

- deal with some of the paperwork on my desk,

- must not forget to buy three bananas.

Me again.  I have swept all downstairs, s&sd bathroom and downstairs toilet.  Admin next.

ETA spent an hour or so pottering around the garden, which in turn cheered me up and re-energised me to empty a box in the bedroom and either put away or fling/recycle the contents (and the box).  Not on my list but feel virtuous anyway 😇😇👼

Didn't finish the dusting, but when do I ever?  The rest is done, and the dining room had a hard 46 minutes and looks a lot better.  Orderes flowers for a funeral, wrote a bereavement card, paid the house insurance and wrote a cheque for someone who has been a rock solid person to deal with for several years, and I'm sad to see the end of that business relationship but we both need to move forward. 

It's been a hard four days and the person who was going to come and stay on Friday night, which is why I was in such a rush to get it all done, now doesn't need the accommodation and that's fine.  Without that impetus the house would still need a thorough clean because someone else is coming on Monday for a week and a friend is coming on Wednesday for one night so we're all ready for both of them.

Foodbank tomorrow, then if I have the energy I'll finish the dusting and polish both bathroom mirrors and the week's Flying will be complete.  I know l won't have the time or energy to tackle Friday's listie, but our bedroom has had about 10 minutes every day so it's as good as it needs to be. 

Thanks for the lists Valli - they've been a Godsend this week.  The whole house looks a lot better, particularly the sitting room - and yes, I did stand in the doorway and look back at it and it gave me a real shiver of pleasure.

Morning all,
Another one who tackled her HHI yesterday, now busy polishing my flylady halo. However I did manage to procrastinate with my book enough to avoid the kitchen lists…again.
DSiL and BiL arrive this afternoon for the weekend, so today it is get the guest room straight, bed made etc, so I’m going back in the week for the list. I mustn’t forget to prep tonight’s dinner as much as possible, working around the builders who are making good progress. And a lot of dust, although thankfully because of the weather they are doing most of the cutting and messy stuff outside.
First job - throwaway dead flowers from the kitchen, which will count as kitchen flying in my book.
Have a good day all x
