Weekly Flylady Thread 22nd June 2026

Morning all.

So sorry to hear about your step-sister, Narc0. Enormous (((hugs))) to you xx

It's still far twot for me here. Rosie woke me at 3.30am because she had heard distant thunder. We ended up with me sitting on the edge of my bed watching YT videos for an hour, while she tried to burrow under my knees and into the 2" gap between the side of the bed and the bedside drawers. It didn't rain here, more's the pity.

I did less yesterday than the day before and have no intention of doing much more today. DH has left me his dirty laundry.

Sorry to be a bad Flylady xxx

Morning all. Hope you're all ok today.

Poppet has been walked, recycling is outside, gardens and greenhouse watered. Apart from meeting friends this afternoon for a couple of hours I have cancelled all other plans for this weekend - that's three events. My feet and legs are so swollen I can only wear crocs and they are tight!

I feel a book will be read and the only flying will be dailies.

Have a great weekend everyone. Stay cool.

Morning all,

My list for today

• Feed the animals and walk the dog
• Change the cat's litter tray
• Check availability for a client and get back to him, as I was meant to do this at the start of the week and forgot all about it
• Spend an hour on placement admin
• Clean the bathroom sink
• Put the recycling out into the bin
• Look for the student finance letter that I need
• Go to the hairdresser's appointment (some quality mother-daughter time as we are getting our colour done today)
• Laundry x2 loads
• Speak to the kids about going to the cinema to see T.S 5
• Update Mr T order for delivery tomorrow
• Empty the DW and put dishes away
• Look into debt consolidation options
• Update the planner for next week
• Feed the animals and walk the dog

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

Good Afternoon Everyone xx

All present and correct? Good show 😊

I survived my first week back at work - showing off my 'war wound'. Unanimous opinion is tis very neat. Yesterday it became unbearable in the office - even with four fans on me and after consuming two ice lollies (provided by Community Nurses taking pity on me 🥵) and copious amounts of water. When I started to feel ill I relocated myself to a downstairs office! Not once had my supervisor enquired if I was OK. Not laid eyes on her. So I didn't ask, I told her what I was doing and why. (7 more pay days 😉)

It was 37° in my car coming home. That's over 98° in proper money - I'm old! Minimal flying was done all week. I've kept the birdbath and the hedgehog's dish filled up, fed the birds, and put out the recycling. Anything else was surplus to requirements. And I've been living on toast and ice cream...not together!

I'm having a Sassyday today. I may have the energy to fly tomorrow.

Take care my lovelies.

Evening everyone. Luckily it's a bit cooler today with a slightly fresh breeze. Only really done the basics this week but the beds got changed and all the other washing done too. Vacuumed downstairs twice and washed the kitchen floor but there was no way I was vacuuming the bedrooms. Like an oven up there. No-one sees it anyway.

I've done a lot of watering of pots in the garden and deadheading. Everything has survived so far - even me!

Hope everyone's OK x

Hi all

Tiptoes in and sits quietly at the back..

No excuses for not being around, life has been very busy, but nothing new there. I am having ongoing menopause/HRT issues but it's OK because I can have a 10 minute phone appointment on 31st July! I either need the patches that actually work or a higher dose of the gel but I won't bore you with that. Also, DS1 has being referred for an urgent appointment with the haemotology consultant because of worrying symptoms, but I am trying not to think about that.

In happier news we have just had a lovely week away on the Cotswolds, and we have finally got our new woodburning stove installed. Flying? Well I have done lots of holiday washing, I am currently soaking a favourite (and expensive) white dress in Vanish hoping that I can get the suncream stains off.

Love to everyone, I will quietly catch up with the news.

After a week of being cooped up mainly indoors, we went out today to visit a Grade II listed walled garden, situated within an 18th century natural landscape which is a designated SSI. Despite having lived in this area for more than a third of my life, I had never been there. They were having a fundraising open day with tea and cakes on offer, as well as several stalls, displays including bees and bats, and live music from a local silver band. All very enjoyable. It was quite hot but nowhere near as unbearable as the past 3 days. Rosie came with us, of course, and enjoyed being off the lead through the parkland and shady woods, though she had to go back on the lead in the garden itself. I had a hospital appointment* at 1.30, so left her and DH in the garden which I drove there and back. Apparently DH took advantage of my departure to get himself another cuppa and another slice of bara brith! Rosie was not enamoured of a game, very popular with families, which involved wooden bowls - they like gunfire - but she was with us so she coped.

*(No new problems - just "See you again in 6 months," which is how it's been for about 10 years, so all is good.)

The only flying I've done today has been FUPA clean laundry and another 2xWM.#

Thanks for your messages about my stepsister.

I now have my new car. I got very anxious picking it up yesterday; I don't do change easily and I don't do heat, so sitting in the car while the salesman showed my how everything worked was very stressful. However, I drove it home (20 miles) with Mr N being encouraging next to me. I decided I couldn't then face driving it back to the gym and sweating away in a dance class so I decided to drive the mile to church to check the flowers and do some hoovering. Big mistake……I'd forgotten there was an event on so there were loads of cars parked. The church car park is long and thin so I had to drive down the narrow gap between the cars and a barbed wire fence to the end so I could turn round, then drive back up having to reverse back twice when I met someone coming the other way. Gulp. Today I went to the lake and have a lovely swim, coming back through country lanes to get a newspaper in a village thus avoiding L1dl car park which is mayhem on a Saturday. Then drove 20miles to have lunch with a friend. So I'm building confidence.

Went back to church this evening and did some flowers.

Watered the greenhouse, potted up a few things which are long overdue but the greenhouse is so hot I haven't been able to tolerate being in there for long enough.

We had lots of thunder earlier but no rain yet.

Hugs to all those awaiting treatment or having had good news about medical issues.

Morning all xx

👋 to YL 😘

I do believe tis cooler and fresher. I have LR wide open to allow the breeze in and some accumulated heat out.

I've made a start this morning: the calendars are now on the correct date. And I have my Saturdailies and Sundailies list ready to start ticking things off as I do them. Savouring a brew first though.
