Weekly Flylady Thread 13th April 2026

Morning (not sure what happened to Monday - GUAG ran out around lunch time).

Tuesday

Level 1 - Living Room - remove clutter - Start removing clutter maybe. Well, not so much clutter as assorted paper stuff which seems to accumulate when my back is turned.

However the amaryllis which was beautiful but has finished flowering is now in the green waste bin and its pot in the shed.

Catalogue pile reduced (I am sure catalogues breed when no one is looking).

Hallway vacuumed.

Blackcats

a day of sorting out bits and bobs - ama zon item to be returned was dropped off and refund is on its way so £8.50 will be back to my purse and then got a refund from MrL for a spontaneous middle aisle purchase last week that turned out to be more expensive than we thought - £12.99 is already back in my bank account.

Hoovered round and s&s of bathroom

Dishwasher loaded up after dinner and dry washing put away

I did some admin this morning, and went to church this afternoon for the Knit & Natter - but without my knitting, as the plan was to sort the books in the children's corner. Most were ok, but there were a few torn ones which were only good for recycling and a small number which were not really suitable for church - those will go to the CS.

DH and I were both feeling groggy today, maybe as a result of the Covid jabs yesterday, so we have had a quiet evening and caught up with the last programme of the Pilgrimage series. DH was very out of breath after emptying the indoor bins and putting the big bins out for the recycling collection tomorrow. I hope he will follow my example and take himself off to bed earlier than usual.

Tomorrow I need to design and print some worksheets and also continue to attack some more items on my endless to-do list. Apart from hanging up a load of laundry and maybe hoovering the LR, I don't think there is much housework to be done, and L will be walking Rosie.

See you in the morning! xxx

Sorry guys I've gone to bed early as not feeling too well, struggling, flushed, coughing up globules of rubbery ick when I can cough, etc, Thank gods I've got an appointment at the drs tomorrow to see how this lung infection is doing. Not good by my counts..taking far too long to go etc.

But I've put up tomorrow's list. Just excuse the way it is typed out I used my phone. I'll correct it tomorrow when I get on my lappy 😀

Hugs xxx

Valli

Hope you feel better soon, Natty

DW stacked and WUALTD and that's about it. Relisted carp vintage treasures on fleabay. Added more stuff to one listing so that's my daily task done.

Rand the aged p - he has managed to lock himself out of his account at the docs so cannot order his repeat prescription; have told him to write it down and I will drop it off. I'll have to see if I can get his account reinstated. This move to online is all very well but not everybody can use a laptop/tablet/smartphone.

Reminds me of the young lady who asked if I could email photos and 'is there someone who can help you?' when she misconstrued my hesitation which was me not being sure that what i was concerned about would show up on a photo - not that I couldn't email.🤣

Craftyscholar silly question, but do you not keep amaryllis? I've had mine for years, it flowers every year and this year it produced 2 huge stalks of flowers instead of just one.

Hope doc sorts you out Natty.

Fairly non-flying day again:

• gym swim (followed by free coffee as gym had sent me an 'it's your birthday' email.
• work
• bit of fiddling around in the greenhouse.
• caught up with some emails.
• tried on clothes I plan to wear for funeral - thankfully they fit. We're only away for 2 nights and it's all unravelling a bit; having planned to visit Mum on Friday then go home via BIL, care home now has D&V so may not be allowing visitors by Friday; BIL has been summoned by ex-wife to help her move (very long complicated story but neither she nor her partner of 15 yrs drive).
• had nice long video call with friend in NZ. Happy to report they have potholes, high prices and general mayhem so it's not just us.

I was told years ago that the only silly question is the one you don't ask @Narc0lepsy

TBH it never occurred to me to save the bulb. I bought it as part of a kit in an end of season sale at my local garden centre.

Sorry to hear you're still under the weather @Natty68 - get well soon, and thank you for summoning up enough strength to put up today's list despite feeling so rotten xx

A Very Happy Birthday to @Honey_Bear - a special one this year! xx

I need to attack the admin… I may be gone some little time. See you later xxx

Valli

Good morning everyone!

Happy Birthday @Honey_Bear hope you have a lovely day.

Thank you so much Ionafan and Valli - it is a big one and the first thing I did was phone the GP surgery and ask for a shingles jab, which I'm now eligible for. I've been counting the years for that! The excitement of it all is overwhelming.

Belovéd and I have a lovely day planned and it's such a shame that it doesn't allow time for any Flying at all, which is obviously a huge disappointment to me, as dusting is my newest hobby. Although I'm not sure I should be disturbing my collection of dust, some of which is rare and valuable as it goes back to neolithic times.
