Weekly Flylady Thread 21st July 2025

Thank you HB x I have a bucket outside the back door and it is amazing how much water I can collect in a day from running the kitchen hot tap like you, and from washing lettuce etc. Apologies for having hijacked the thread with my water woes. I will shut up now and move on 🤐.
Allotment visited, DH constructed a taller frame for me so that the chard and spinach can breathe sighs of relief and stretch. Cannellini beans that I soaked last night are bubbling on the hob. I have delved into the depths of the freezers and done an inventory. I would not be able to be trusted with a chest freezer. Meal plan for the week done, the grocery shop this week should theoretically just be any store-cupboard items on the list. I’m about to make some veggie-pancake- thingys, then it’s an afternoon upstairs in the back bedroom. I found 2 magazine holders of old magazines that I didn’t know were there.  These are now in the process of being flicked through and ripped out where needed. That should be a small shelf space created when I’m done.
The plaster is drying nicely, so I am keeping my fingers crossed that I can do the first watered down coat tomorrow morning.
See you all on the other side x

Hello all.  Hope you all ok.  Wordle in two.

I am off work this week with DH so we're just making the most of not having to race around.  I slept for ten hours last night.  Today I have done dailies, hoovering, two wash loads which are drying on the line, dog walk and I've tidied some plant pots out front.  Now planning to read a new book until the footie is on later.

See you all on the new thread.

Whole house vacuumed, cats claws clipped without us being growled at or shredded by the little darlings, dog's ears cleaned (no yucky gunk on the cotton wool so that's pleasing), sides prepped for Res Assoc barbeque which has been moved forward so all the chaps are out there now in aprons prodding charcoal being manly.  They're all off to the pub to cheer England on.  I'm not in the slightest bit interested in footie, but I'm absolutely delighted the chaps are really into watching the women play.  

My baguettes tasted right and the texture was a joy but because I don't have a baguette pan, couche, peels and all that baking stone malarky they spread rather a lot.  Now scouring the review sites and the Bay of E to acquire one.  Having had a Pana$0nic breakmaker since 2012 I really dislike the taste and texture of mass-produced bread now and regrettably that includes supermarket French bread, which we use, so this is the only way forward.  With the amount of French Fish Soup we bought back from France the pan will pay for itself by the end of the year, so it's MSE.

Good evening, it's a late post from me today, as I have been away attending a boot sale. Unfortunately, we didn't make very much, but we have decluttered a few items from the house. We picked up a few bits left by a fellow boot seller who didn't want to take anything home. We can hopefully sell these, along with some more of our items next week. DD did ok today as she was given a hammock by a lovely lady that we met at the boot sale, and got a pair of shoes from the items that were left behind by the other boot seller. 

My list for the rest of this evening
Sort through boot sale stock and tidy away until next week
Update my diary from this week and make sure that everything is in for next week. 
HHI
Take DD over to the stables so she can bring her horse into the stable, as the vet is coming to see him tomorrow morning.

I think that is all from me for today. I hope everyone is having a lovely Sunday/weekend.

had the fam over for roast dinner, then got involved with the euros…i’ve quite taken to womens football and watch wsl matches.  Then it was Karen Pirie.  Rub one DW load and have refilled it and still had some i WUALTD,  Having the hot cabinet is great but means more pots as i pop veggies etc in casserole dishes then in the cabinet.  

Washing brought in earlier, bedding, wm refilled.

List will be along later.
