Weekly Flylady Thread 5 October 2026

MinnieMousesMummy

Morning all,

It's been a busy morning so far. I have:

• Got the kids off to school
• Fed the animals and walked the dog
• Done some paid stuff (went to help an elderly couple that I help every week)
• Made a plan to pay DDs school trips (she is off to France and New York next year)

My plan for the rest of today

• Attend uni lectures
• Do the required uni work
• Do paid stuff (got another client to visit, some emails to send, make a new social media page, add content on existing page)
• Collect the kids from school
• Spend an hour organising the planner
• Unload the DW and put dishes away
• Take DD to the stables so she can feed her ponies
• Make a plan to clear debts
• Feed the animals and walk the dog
• Take DD to her guide group

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

Good morning all xx

Sending Poppet love from me and chirps from Sassy 🥰

I read a thread where folk are tackling Outstanding Annoying Tasks and they have inspired me. Thanks to their (I don't know the word) I have (some you'll already know but I'm going to list everything for my own satisfaction 😉)

• Claimed a small pot pension
• Negotiated a cheaper Broadband package
• Obtained consent from the HA for full fibre to be fitted
• Applied for my State Pension
• Spoken to the Pensions Dept at work and had a link to the correct form forwarded to me for completion next month
• Bought a new mattress
• Bought new pillows

Small pension pot should have hit my bank account by now. I'll check when I go to the PO.

Engineer is coming on Monday to fit the full fibre broadband

Pillows, pillow protectors and mattress protector will be delivered this afternoon. Mattress is being delivered tomorrow. The purchase of a new mattress and pillows have been on my Toots list for years!

I want to get the pharmacist's phone call, the engineer's visit and my hospital appointment out of the way next week then my next OATS to tackle are:

• Make an Optician's appointment
• Look into having a water meter fitted
• Buy new jeans / bin tatty jeans that I keep wearing because they're comfortable

On the flying front I have decided to remove the two piles of TBR books from LR and store in a box in RoD1. I take a few books each time I go up. That's a bit more floor claimed 😉

Sassy's boyfriend is coming for a sleepover next week so the plan is to remove my unused-for-decades hi fi from LR to make room for his cage. Said hi fi will be dusted (cough) and placed in my car boot ready to go to the tip / recycling centre the next time I'm passing.

Baby steps so I don't end up exhausted physically or mentally.

Love to all.

@roundtuit I donated an old hi-fi to our local Salvation Army CS, which accepts electricals. They did look it over before they took it

Sounds very busy Round don't overdo it!

My new DGD arrived at 1.30am, and I haven't been asleep since then. Crazy morning at the paid stuff, called at DSs to collect some laundry to dry for him, home to make tea, then off to the hospital to meet the adorable new arrival.

Flying has been limited to the very basics this week but I have made a conscious effort not to fret about it. I am helping to run a big fundraising event in our village this weekend so that's going to take up a big chunk of time. I will do what I can.

But some sleep first would be good.

Congratulations YL 🎊 xx

Welcome to the world, YL's DGD and congratulations to the new parents and grandparents xxx

DH has caught what I have had (or something very similar) so we have had to cancel our trip to London to see his sister tomorrow 😪 He fell asleep at the start of Traitors so still hasn't a clue what is going on.

I haven't done much today apart from looking after DH and Rosie, but the house is still quite tidy so it could be a lot worse.

Late this afternoon DH received a message from OpenScreech saying that they were going to have to do some more work outside before they can hitch us up to fibre, so it could take anything up to a fortnight. It's a good thing we're both retired and hadn't had to take a day off paid work yesterday!

Early night for all of us tonight.
