Weekly Flylady Thread 23 February 2026

Evening everyone - after an excellent weekend away with friends, we finally made it home. The usual 50 minute journey took 2 & a half hours☹️ delays due to broken down cars (not ours), a tractor fire and a lorry shedding its load. I feel worn out

Flying will recommence tomorrow 🤞

Narc0, I did say I tried to take it easy, but it didn't happen! x

Valli, it's your turn to take it easy today x

That was a rotten journey, eltee. Hope you've slept well and recovered from the stress of it - glad the main part of your weekend was good x

Today I must

• open all the upstairs windows for 5 minutes
• FUPA dry laundry, and do at least one more load of DH's clothes
• hoover the study - Rosie is moulting
• PUPA all through - especially my study
• clean the ensuite and bathroom
• move the amaryllis which has finished flowering from the DR table to the landing windowsill and replace it with 3 more that are all coming out at once 😍
• hoover Kermit's interior, replace emergency bag, blanket and empty shopping bags which have been taking up space under the DR table
• take bedding and other donations to the CS - that will clear space on the dining table and in the utility 😁
• buy an 80th birthday card, write this and two others ready for posting/delivery by hand
• walk Rosie
• go to Knit & Natter, remembering to take coffee, milk and some notices to put up on the EcoChurch board
• stay for the Lent Course [Note To Self: remember to take the book!!!]
• go on the regular video call with J and E, and remember to (a) tell J that I can't be there next week and (b) ask her if she wants some cushions that are surplus to my needs
• phone another friend
• sort another photo album whilst watching something on TV
• feed us all at appropriate times.

DH will go to SW this morning and play trains all afternoon. C'est la vie!

Have a good day, Flyfriends xxx

Morning all, Another day with not very much flying as I'm still away from home with work until tonight.

My list for today

• Check out of overnight accommodation (it was actually a reasonably nice place to stop overnight)
• Do some work on uni assignments
• Attend work related meeting
• Drive back home (3 hour drive)
• Unpack overnight bag and put stuff in the laundry bag
• Take DD up to the stables so can see her pony while I feed it, as DD can't do much with her injured wrist at the moment.
• Speak to DH regarding DD's doctor's phone call. I took her to the minor injuries on Friday as she fell and hurt her wrist. We are waiting to find out if it is broken or just badly sprained, and are awaiting a phone call from the hospital doctor.

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

Afternoon all,

Is it really only Tuesday?! Yesterday I knuckled down and nearly managed to level 3 of the lists. Given that it was the kitchen, I was suitably impressed with my efforts. This morning was a very early start to take DD to the airport. She is now winging her way to the other side of the world for 3 months. The house is already quiet without her ☹️. So to occupy myself I have stripped and washed our bedding, dusted and vacuumed the bedroom, hall, stairs and landing, and fitted in some admin. Smoke and CO alarms tested as per the list. Bedding has been outside in what is now glorious sunshine. It is mostly dry and ready for HHI. This is the first time that I have actually managed to hang washing out this year. Mr M order done for Thursday delivery, flowers sorted for a friend’s birthday, I need to write her card and post that tomorrow.
I think I will just finish off a bit of admin then I might tidy up the craft room a bit, as it had a massive rucksack in it until last night.

Afternoon. Two beds stripped and remade today, one lot washed and dried and the other load will be done tomorrow. It's been a beautiful day here. We met DD1 and went for coffee and a walk, then got a couple of bits in the supermarket. This afternoon I gave the grass its first cut of the year - considering how wet it has been it wasn't bad at all. I didn't sink in once! Tomorrow is supposed to be another nice day so it should perk up nicely. I also tidied up some plants gently and swept up back and front (and scrubbed off bird poo. Again.) Back and leg aching now (sciatica) but glad it's done.

Hope everyone's OK x

Blackcats

the bathroom towels were washed and dried beautifully on the washing line. They needed a good shake to fluff them up but they smell so nice and fresh.

dishwasher has been loaded, run and unloaded.

Hoovered throughout and dusted the hall window ledge and hall table.

Still feeling a bit bleurgh from my cold but definitely feeling better than yesterday.

Valli
