Kaz - well impressed with your fencing skills.

Ditto.

More scrap paper cut and torn to A6 size.  Thanks for the offer of some of yours Ionafan, but no, an obviously generous and kind thought though.  I have an excess of sufficiency already.  Even more generated across the four hours of admin achieved this morning.  Now fading a bit.

Forgot to click on Post Comment about three hours ago.

Thank you, not finished yet as I need the main fencer and team I booked for early June, to put the main concrete posts and gravel boards in first, so I can see where my bit will finish.

Got the dry washing in, folded and away, some for ironing.

I love this topic but wow it exhausts me just reading it   You all have so much energy, I'm very envious.

I'm 72 not 100% but then few of us are.

I have a daily level 1  which I regard as the bottom line below which I dont go unless ill.  Then everything else is the Dot to Dot method when I have the energy, and when somethings annoying me. I do seem to get quite a lot done that way.   I definitely have a Room of Doom. I lost control in there a long time ago.

I make OH vacuum top to bottom twice a week (usually with leg dragging and lip pouting) - its his collie he promised before we adopted her!!  We are busy sifting gravel in the garden and planting so house basics only at the moment.

Level 1 (mostly at night)  is:

Sort kitchen after dinner.

Fill dishwasher

Spray and wipe cooker and worksurfaces

Spray an wipe out sinks and drainer.

Make up fresh bleachy solution for surface sponges.

Wipe coffee table.

Get out frozen bread, milk  any meat out for next day.

A few other things like putting the rest of the delivered shopping away or vacuum sealing food as necessary.

I like my surfaces clear so anything lurking gets put away, recycled or binned.

Put the washing on.

Use the dryer if necessary ( I hang it outside first)

Sort it, put away or hang on stand to air.

I'm a bit picky about the bathroom so if I see something, or it doesn't smell fresh I clean it. I do it in sections.

I've realised that a lot of my activities are weather based. While others get their cocktails and suntan lotion out and prepare to do nothing, I just want to clean or fix something!!!!.  Its been really hot so this week I've washed a bedroom rug and got it back down, and the lounge rug got washed and dried and is finishing off in the lean to.  It was extra hot today so stripped my bed and while  the windows were wide open.

Morning all xx 

👋 to Spikeygran.  Welcome aboard.

I'm up, stripped my bed, taken my meds, turned over the calendars, swished my bedding, completed Strands with no hints,  completed Wordle in four,  completed Connections with one life lost,  eaten breakfast and supped two brews.

Annual Leave this week, and no plans to see anyone today, so I plan to potter and plot while I recharge my batteries ready to people tomorrow and Thursday. 

To Do Today List 

Get dressed 
Peg out washing 
Feed the birds 
Put out the recycling 

Then I'll plot and potter - inside? outside? I don't know yet. The day is my oyster ... or something like that.

Love to all

Morning all, and welcome @Spikeygran.  

Yippee!!!! A short-lived but major frog has been decluttered!  The fortnight-long farce regarding my total inability to finalise closure of my sole account with a certain bank, as well as being addressed in correspondence from them by 3 different variants of my name, is over: the bank has upheld all my complaints, paid me the final interest due, and also given me a substantial amount of compensation.  The money is already safely stashed in my current account with a different bank, so I am going on a shopping trip this morning

I have loaded the DW and S&S'd the kitchen - I mopped the floor yesterday.   I need to be back by 1pm to let the J gardener in.

See you later xxx

Morning all

I've been a bit slack with flying for a couple of days - seem to have suddenly accrued lots of ongoing admin/financey/laptoppy things, along with health appointments for me, mum, OH.  I'm worn out and still more to do ! 😀

Tuesdailies have been done and from today's list I put things for sale on tinternet.  Some have already been posted.

Valli

 no proper flying done but light fittings/shades cleaned, radiators cleaned and back on wall and my lovely decorator repaired the leak on the bathroom handbasin thus saving me a plumber call out.  And, while the plinth was off the cupboard I have cleaned out the dust bunnies under there…think Harvey!  and wiped the floor tiles under there too.

Washing line dried.  Currently lying on my bed having taken loperamide.

(wonders how many flyladies will google Harvey!). Some of you won’t need to and I think I know who!

Spikeygran

No 6ft bunnies here but I have got a very large pink elephant

Been back out in the garden doing more gravel, it does look nice and saved £'s.  Emptied the kitchen compost and topped up the wormeries.

Just about to pick up speed and do my level 1 kitchen and laundry.

Bath needs a wash out, I use oilatum which gets everything greasy, so do it twice a week or it makes it gets hard to clean.  I do the tiles while I'm under the shower, mad I know, but I'm short and its just easier to reach as I'm already in there and wet.
