Weekly Flylady Thread 8th January 2018

another £8 sale bought and paid for.. must sort through the 4 huge stuffed binbags of 4-5 stuff and fling some..there is so much in there!! and I need to rejiggle Twinkles drawers..

OH just sent back to college so Twinkle and I are off to shop.. hopefully she will nap!

Nearly an hour on, where does the time go?

DW emptied and filled so I could pile stuff onto the worktops. All of the contents out, and the air vents cleared. Ruthless exiting and re-homing done, just having 5 minutes before i start putting things back.

Lil-me 280 DW tablets found so far so its turning into a money saving exercise for me too. And the decent scrubbing things to do the bathroom with after school run.

Finally sat down for 10 mins

I knew I was tired, didn't wake up until 9.30am unheard of for me

Collected prescription
Now got to work out the code part I need to mend the cat flap that blunder bust has broken.

First thing I did today was

Open email, see five tasks to do. All take time but aren't ever going to be No 1 on my list of Stuff.

Empty office of hundreds of models made by the Offspring of the Parish for homework last term and [strike]shove them in a locked cupboard[/strike] stored them for the Assistant Head to pick the best for display.

Empty office of 1000 carrier bags that the things were brought in with.
Chuck five bits of paper I hadn't tidied before the end of term.

Chuck a bag of dried out holly leaves from the Christmas display.

Clear desk next to me of pointless bits of paper and packaging.

Retrieve mugs the weekend 'renters' have used (they're not even supposed to have access to the office, but somebody gave them a master key, so they do it anyway) and stuffed in the cupboard unwashed, wash them up.

Clean the sink by the water boiler. And the tiles the weekend 'renters' have hurled tea and coffee at.

Clean both desks.

Clear some old display material.

Deal with a classfull of OotP being absolutely foul for two solid hours.

Deal with a class of 'external provision' kids who were perfectly behaved.

Put equipment back after lessons.

Get given another 5 massive jobs.

Make sure no OotP could gain access unauthorised over lunch.

Help out by writing a quick How To Guide for a couple of kids in another lesson.

Go for a break. Have nice colleague admit she's desperate to leave her OH and therefore giving her ideas on how to not leave herself destitute and homeless when she doesn't have to (and pointing out that whilst I agree with her that she needs to be happy, from his point of view, he's not all bad from what she's said about him and the kids come first).

Go back to work and have another ten tasks given to me for this week.

Solve 7 additional things without having to get somebody else to do anything and save other colleague many, many hours in duplicating work I did several years ago.

Have other colleague complaining about his health. Let him get on with it, as it meant I could chill out for ten minutes whilst he did so.

Try and assess the scale of tons of other things that need to be done, have been requested repeatedly, but never done by the people responsible. Realise it's massive work even to assess it.

Limp home. Find HMRC have sent a grumpy letter asking how I'm going to repay their tax credit overpayment from five years ago that is already being repaid. Tempted to ask them which effing kidney they want - right or left? I shall make the phone call later in the week, I think.

Slump on sofa.
