Weekly Flylady Thread 9th November 2026

I wrote a list to do yesterday but just realised I didn't do any of it, so probably glad I forgot to send press the post comment button. Although I did drop the bags at the CS and collected a couple of baskets from Ikea.

Today has been clearing out the office ready for painting. I've been up and down stairs and my legs are aching. Lots of clutter in boxes on my bedroom floor, but at least in piles so ready for decision making e.g. throw out probably.

The hoover did come out as I hoovered the office and wiped down the skirtings, ready for painting. It seemed rude not to hoover the hall and kitchen while it was out, so that was done at least.

Decorating day tomorrow, so that will take up most of my time but I will call by.

Didn't manage to do much yesterday, did have a good clean of the stove top and the kitchen worktops, but then OH wanted to go for a walk and I need to keep my step count up so out we went. I did clear a hot spot in the kitchen creating a bit of space.

Today we did a beach litter pick including 2 minutes silence at 11am. We did the same beach last year, this year was a lot cleaner so that was good. I think there's a local group taking care of the area. Way too many fag butts in the car park by the cafe. The cafe people invited us in for a hot drink so that was nice.

At home I whizzed around with the vacuum and did the whole house apart from the stairs, then we went to see a long film at the cinema.

Evening all. One wash load done and dried indoors, looks like I might be able to peg some out tomorrow. Shopping delivered and put away although they did forget to send the fresh milk. I've requested a refund for that. Luckily I keep some long life in but I'll need to buy some more before the next delivery. Made Spanish chicken stew and dumplings for dinner and there's enough left for another meal either tomorrow or the next day. It's nice but the whole house still smells of it!

Some ups and some downs today but two things got resolved so that's something.

Hope everyone's OK x

I've done everything off my list except re-pot the amaryllis, and that can wait until tomorrow.

The NT Group meeting was a talk on Royal Worcester Porcelain. I appreciate the history behind the items and the skill of the artists, but it's not something I would want to collect

Sausage casserole for tea, nom-nom!

Back….

By gum it's nippy out there. Get your thermals on girls 🥶

Bins out. Thyroid meds taken. Back in bed. I have to take the meds at the same time every morning, then wait 30 - 60 minutes before eating. So I have the meds up here in my bedroom, take them at 7, and hop back into bed for an hour.

Usually I'm comfy, cosy, and relaxed, but not this morning. Anxiety is raging. My car went in for MOT on Tuesday. I'd asked the garage to look at the glow plugs as starting in the cold was a problem, and fix a leak in the windscreen washer set up while they had the car. Turns out that three of the four glow plugs sheared off when they tried to remove them. To fix this would cost a huge amount as it would be an engine out job. The garage are fitting a new pump to fix the windscreen wash leak, then I can collect the car today. Common sense says they wouldn't do that if the car had to be scrapped surely. But … until I go down to the garage later I won't know for sure

2026 The year that keeps on giving. I'm fed up with it now. Flylady posivibes would be greatly appreciated. I've been counting my blessings and trying to rationalise but I'm so tired of picking myself up, dusting myself off, and carrying on.

I'm glad I got the basics done yesterday. Clean underwear and clean pots is a good start to a new day 😊.

And breathe….

Sorry to whinge. I'm just fed up. Xx

I'm washed and dressed, made my bed, taken the rest of my meds, turned over the calendars, supped a brew, and eaten breakfast. I completed the nyt puzzles before posting earlier. I'm still operating on BST, which is annoying.

To Do Next List

• Change Sassy's water ✔
• Refresh Sassy's seed ✔
• Feed the birds ✔
• Put out the recycling ✔
• DUPA yesterday's pots ✔
• WUDUPA - soaking
• Wash towels and tea towels - swishing

And breathe…

It's so annoying. Give me a mountain and I just get on with climbing it. Give me a molehill and splat! And people look at me gone out saying but you just dealt with this, that, and the other, without any trouble. Yeah. That was a biggie. I'm OK with big stuff. I just get on with it. But the little stuff. Nah! Can't cope with that 💩. I'm weird like that 😊

Morning all. Two wash loads out including my bedding and the other bed has been stripped and remade, I will wash that tomorrow. Plumber here changing the radiator in the kitchen so "unfortunately" I can't do much at the moment. I'll think of another excuse later.

Round, I think the little things wear us down gradually until it's worse than a big thing. I always catastrophise and overthink everything and often it all turns out OK and I've fretted for nothing. I don't have any answers, just want to sympathise.

Hope everyone's OK x

Good afternoon all,

So far today, I have got the kids off to school, fed the animals, walked the animals and done some paid stuff.

My list for the rest of today

• Meet with friend for lunch
• Do more paid stuff (1 client, admin)
• Do required uni work
• Spend an hour on uni assignment
• Unload DW and put dishes away
• Tidy the kitchen and load DW
• Take DD to the stables so she can feed her ponies
• Take DD to her guide group
• Feed the animals and walk the dog

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