Weekly Flylady Thread 9th November 2026

Slinky

Well Monday's tasks started pretty well. Bathroom complete apart from floor, shower room and ensuite done apart from inside of showers and floors. Did the inside of the ensuite shower this morning after my shower, will do the same with the shower room shower tomorrow. Floors all need doing, but when I get the mop out, I do all the hard floors in the house, so will slide that one into a future date.

Will see what I can do with kitchen and dining room today.

Have flown self, with all hooves and claws that needed to be hacked, hacked. Feel better for that, and having clean hair after cramming a beanie on my head yesterday. Never a good look, but it was windy (from the east) and I felt toasty warm all the time so I think I've finally got the right gear for the winter.

Swish and swiped the bathroom.

Have sorted another five shelves, put out another box of gibble to go to the CS and binned a satisfying amount of carp stuff I have held on to for far too long. Example: an Oxfam plastic bag (single use stuff I generally try to avoid but I ended up with nonetheless) and found myself wandering around the house with it, trying to find a use for it. I finally remembered to just ask myself, 'Will anyone be glad I kept this?' and it went straight into the Co-0p plastic recycling bag. Sometimes decision fatigue overwhelms me, but things are improving and there are some spaces where there used to be chaos. And I can find stuff.

Belovéd needs a dining table for the play wot he wrote for early December and F'book M'place is very weird is all I can say.

Evening all. I've been reading along but not contributing much either at home or on here. The gloomy weather isn't helping. I have kept things going as far as meals, clearing up, washing etc but not going out of my way to do anything. DH not that well, we've had the plumber here and he's back again Thursday, and everything is just so November :(

Morning all

I need to formulate a plan. A structure whereby essential tasks are completed on a regular basis. Ad hoc isn't working for me. Mostly because ad hoc means I'll do it tomorrow. Or the next day. Or the next. Or not at all. 🫣
😙😙😙

Oh. Flylady is a plan. Whereby essential tasks are completed on a regular basis. Who knew? 🤣

Hmmm. I guess I could work out the essentials for my morning routine as a foundation to build on. Sounds like a plan.

I'll be back.

Morning all,

Pollybear, be kind to yourself. It sounds like you have a lot going on.
Fabulous arrangement, Valli.
Yesterday’s flying was hardly worth reporting - bed stripped and remade, bedding washed and eventually dried by this morning. I now have HHI in today’s plan. I went to ex work for a final catch up before they go their separate ways. one more DR curtain hem completed, the final one is on the Must Do list for today. Other culprits for today are bathroom cleaning, and maybe a quick clean of the bedroom where dark furniture shows the dust. I also need to bake a cake to take to DD when we visit her tomorrow. I have been extremely “flexible” (ahem) on flying lately so need to pull my socks up next week. I think I might have said that this week too…🫣

• Get the kids to school
• Feed the animals and walk the dog
• Paid stuff (2 clients, admin)
• Do required uni work
• Attend uni lectures
• Spend an hour on uni assignments
• Find my passport as I need to use it for ID

A slow start this morning - I am very muzzy-headed.

Rosie got her toenails clipped yesterday but is still hobbling today, so L just popped in to see her and give her a treat but not a walk.

Today I need to

• check finances after paying the vet's bill for Rosie's meds
• S&S kitchen
• S&S bathroom
• dust through downstairs
• hoover all through, up and down
• make soup for lunch
• hang up yesterday's laundry in the bathroom
• give the plants on the landing windowsill some attention - Christmas cacti are in bloom and need a bit of water, the orchid needs a bit of water and the dead flower stems cut off, most of the the amaryllis need re-potting and watering to start them growing
• go to the NT Group meeting this afternoon which I originally had in my diary for Monday, but it wasn't! - brain fog😖
• pick up DGD1+2 from school (it's on my way back from NT 😊) and bring them back here for DS1 to collect an hour later
• give Rosie plenty of attention all day.

If I get all that done, I shall be pleased.

Hope everyone is making a bit of progress with whatever is most needed xxx

If it's gone or struck out, it's done!

• hoover all through downstairs [DH volunteered]
• give the plants on the landing windowsill some attention - most of the amaryllis need re-potting and watering to start them growing [I have moved them downstairs and into the utility, ready to re-pot]
• go to the NT Group meeting this afternoon which I originally had in my diary for Monday, but it wasn't! - brain fog😖
• pick up DGD1+2 from school (it's on my way back from NT 😊) and bring them back here for DS1 to collect an hour later
• give Rosie plenty of attention all day.

Blackcats

Blackcats' excuse for this week …. after being away on holiday and the bathroom refit, this week's excuse is that I've got a rotten cold. Nose running like a tap and energy levels like the opposite to the duracell bunny.

However, I have tackled the hall, stairs and landing. Why do leaves have to sneak into the porch? Shoe rack is orderly and coat rack is neat. Mirror is clean and skirtings are wiped. The hall table has been de-gibbled.

I've made good progress on shopping for the numerous November and December birthdays and some Christmas shopping.

Time to blow my nose again 🤧
