Weekly Flylady Thread 1 June 2026

Walked the dog, showered, washed my hair, washed the front of the fridge and freezer (they both need more attention but it's a start), visited the dentist, £££ decluttered, picked up Wren's flea and tick treatment, dropped in to the pharmacy to see if I'd managed to order my drugs on line (I had, but they weren't ready, which is fine, they'll text me when they're ready, visited Mr L to get eggs and decaff coffee and scored a veg box so I'm happy about that, picked Belovéd up from the station and came home and fried off a load of y/s mushrooms and then made a lentil and rice thing I love, which is ready to go into the freezer when it's cold.

It's not the speed of progress I'd hoped for but I'm slowly getting there.

Blackcats

fruit bowl washed & fruit prioritised for use in order of ripeness (kiwi fruits have won first place in the queue to be eaten)

Another vinted parcel wrapped ready to drop off tomorrow - a few £'s into the coffers and less items cluttering up the house

Good evening, Just making my list for Thursday

• Sort through the diary and sort out for the next couple of weeks
• Check banking and update dds Glad I done this as one dd has taken more than agreed, so contacted the bank to get it refunded
• Empty the bathroom bin
• Phone regarding physio appointment left yet another voicemail
• Phone bank regarding payments
• Phone the dentist regarding appointment

Today I

• woke up much earlier than I really wanted to
• did WM/TDx1
• S&S'd kitchen
• PUPA all through - except for the spare bedroom/study - and made my bed
• took Rosie to the vet: more tablets prescribed, but to be kept in case she starts licking her feet again when the vets is shut, eg on a weekend
• walked Rosie up the lane and met two people who I hadn't seen for ages, so we chatted
• started to do Rosie's insurance claim but couldn't find one vital piece of paperwork, so I…
• had to clear my desk and check in the filing cabinet, where I found what I was looking for, plus…
• mobile phone paperwork dating back to 2010!!! which I shredded
• cadged a lift from DH into town, so that I could go to the U3A monthly meeting (parking nearby is a problem), then…
• walked slowly across town to the bus station to catch a bus to our local horse piddle, now re-branded as a "local diagnostic centre"
• had my right shoulder and right knee x-rayed - however, in the time it took to get this appointment my left shoulder and left knee have got considerably worse and they really need to be x-rayed too.
• did some knitting whilst watching old University Challenge and Only Connect programmes, after which I cba to do any more admin.

Tomorrow is another day. If it's not pouring with rain we might go out.

so…according to the weather forecast it would rain on us while we were in Brum. Took umbrella and raincoat. Not a drop. We had a lovely day viewing pre-Raphaelite paintings, discovering Edward Burne-Jones was from Birmingham, viewing the Staffordshire hoard and the Ozzy Osbourne exhibits. Popped into the cathedral to view the stained glass and dined out at lunch and in the evening. Some arsey chav was sat in our booked seats with her luggage on the other seats and point blank refused to move so we got to sit in 1st class and were plied with drinks and snacks when the homeward train was held due to a medical emergency on an earlier train. And we saw Ozzy the bull - and had a huge shock when it moved.

Flying - well I WUALTD before going

Birmingham likes to surprise visitors. Valli. It's full of hidden gems - and not just in the Jewellery Quarter! Glad you enjoyed your trip, especially the Pre-Rapahaelites. I ❤️ Ozzy the Bull.

So far this morning I have loaded the DW, showered and dressed, and undone 9 rows of holey pattern and re-knitted them. DH had been waiting for a call back from the GP surgery; he hasn't got an appointment but the doctor has prescribed various meds including ABs and cream for a swollen, weepy leg. We were planning to go out for the day, but reconsidered the wisdom of going a long way and instead will have to lunch at a local GC where Rosie is welcome and I can get a couple more tomato plants and compost (I need to get the mini greenhouses set up). Afterwards we'll call in at the PYO farm shop just down the road to buy some strawberries and rhubarb.

A cuppa next, and then I'll have another go at Rosie's insurance claim.

Despite my aching ankles I have stripped my bed, done a washload and handwashed one item; they're on the line, and I have ironed.

Walked Wren, signed some forms to do with local elections (I hope that's the last of it this year), renewed my library book and discovered why my account had suddenly been blocked (paid off the overdue fines - oops), paid for the work that had been done to the communal garden gate posts, did a bit more work on my accounts which are out of date so I don't know exactly where I am at the moment, had endless interruptions which have stopped me making real progress, scrubbed out the bird bath and refilled it, and refilled the sunflower hearts and fat sticks, and heard that Belovéd's health issue is no more serious than we had hoped - so we may be popping champagne tonight to celebrate.

I MUST write some now very overdue thank you notes.
