Weekly Flylady Thread 7th July 2025

Oooh Kaz, wish I was there!

Today I have
- S&S'd the kitchen and wiped drawer and cupboard fronts
- done WMx5 (including 2 sets of bedding)
- hoovered the bit of DH's mancave where the computer sits and the pathway to it (but without moving anything other than his office chair)
- made 4 or 5 phonecalls (can't remember exactly) and cried bitterly over one of them (the Social Services matter, which involves a small person who I've known since they were born)
- helped J the gardener a bit, kept him supplied with iced drinks, and remembered to pay him
- sat indoors this afternoon when it was hot and took Rosie out to the Covert at 6pm when it got a bit cooler, and
- cooked pork steaks for tea in the SC. 

Quite enough for one day already, but I've still got to make up my bed and help DH with his.  There are lots of bits of admin on my to-do list for this week, but I'm stopping work at 9pm, finished or not.  I'm going to be out for much of the day tomorrow.

laundry ironed and airing so for now there are empty ironing baskets.  WUALTD, dw and wm locked and loaded.  And, for the first time in weeks, I have knitted.

Morning all.  Wordle in three.

Yesterday there was an impromptu visit from DS and DGD3 so I didn't get any additional flying done, just the dailies again.  Today between work shifts DD is coming over with her two, then I think we've almost a two week break from babies!  We've been spreading out the celebrations for my 60th on Saturday and will be away this weekend.

Have a great day everyone.

Morning, So far today I have been to the stables to check on the horse, got showered and dressed and I'm currently working on paid stuff. 

My list for the rest of today
Do paid stuff
Go into town and get new academic diaries for myself and the kids. 
Delete 50 emails from personal inbox
Empty the living room bin
Dust the living room, hall and stairs
Laundry x 2 loads
Add receipts from yesterday to the account so I get loyalty points
HH sorting out coursework as I have small piles in various locations which need to be sorted out, filed and stored away
Wipe down the kitchen surfaces
Make packing lists for next week, as we go on a holiday next Monday for a week
Sweep the kitchen floor
Cobweb dust downstairs
Take DD to the stables to ride and deal with the horse
Take DS to his rehearsal, he is taking part in a local traditional event at weekend and has his last practice tonight. 
Attend the volunteer training meeting tonight
Speak to DH regarding pricing for DW

I think that is everything that I need to tackle today. I hope everyone has a lovely Wednesday

Afternoon.   I did a washload which dried in a couple of hours.   Had a shopping delivery which has been sorted and put away.  We had a walk after that before it got too hot.   I tried to sit outside in the shade after lunch but it's far too hot and humid so had to retreat back here.   I have to pick up my GD from school in an hour or so and that's going to be hot.   Hopefully she won't want to go to the park!

Phew! 🥵🥵 had to have a cheeky 🍻 with OH

Boo!!

Me yet again!

I know, I know, I disappear and then reappear more often than the genie in Aladdin's lamp (and that's without anyone rubbing anything on or about my person! - Ooh! Er Mrs!).

I really hope all those of you who remember me are very well (and those of you who don't remember me!). I'm still here but, having coasted through nearly two years of retirement, I need to get my !!!!!! together and start DOING stuff. That includes several housekeeping hotspots! 

I will join in the weekly lists...

Jazee

Morning.  Hope you're doing well.

Didn't get wordle today, too many options.

 I'm not sure if much flying will get done today although bed is made and first of two wash loads is in machine.  Poppet has been walked.  I have a ten hour day at paid stuff and need to pack for our long weekend away.

Hav3 a great day everyone.

Morning all

Looking forward to a taster volunteer session at a local Old English Garden this morning - got my SPF 50, hat & water at the ready.   I expect I'll be FUBAR afterwards, but if I can I'll attempt flying later before I have my bone scan (checking for signs of osteoporosis - thanks a lot cancer meds 😠😡🤬)

Catch you later 🌼🌸🌻🌹🌺
