Weekly Flylady Thread 8th January 2018

Hi everyone, another one here who is surviving on very little sleep at the moment, but at least I don't work so I can rest when I'm able.
Flying wise, the bathroom has been done, bedrooms done, hall stairs and landing all done, washing and drying all done (I only do this once a week), the front room has been done and that only leaves the kitchen and dining room that I will tackle tomorrow.
I have attacked the paperwork and slowly getting there but the shredding pile is getting rather large so I must borrow the shredder off my dd.
I must start tackling the lottie next week, I went there today to pick a cabbage and realized I started some alterations before the snow and cold snap came and I haven't finished it yet, I have also to try and get into my shed as some thieving people tried to get in but just squashed the lock flat so nobody can get in now, but that's not a bad thing as nothing was taken, but I cant get in now either, but no matter I can fix that.
Next week or perhaps over the weekend I would like to start emptying one kitchen cupboard at a time and spring cleaning it out and after that tackle the pantry that is a big glory hole really!!
So off to bed now to see if I can claim some sleep back after my 3 hours last night.

The word Fred came into my head tonight with fond memories of Toots. Love how her welcome is still used. Just thought I would share that. Got to Birmingham. Forgot lots of things. Need to use lists more. Toots would remind me about the organisation book I lost.

Goodnight all xxx

I know... I still have some messages from her, and a christmas card.. and a card she sent when CF left and one she sent when we had Squeak.. I hope she can feel our love and how we still remember her.

Morning all - rubbish night's sleep. Don't know why. Did have a strange dream that I had a fist fight with Rachel Hunter (Rod Stewart's wife) and won!?!

Anyway - naff all done yesterday as we had a powercut, then low voltage supply for most of the day. Had to send some tradesmen away as their tools need 110v to run and we were getting about 90v. Not enough to run my kettle or the microwave. Defrosted my HM waffles on the woodburner, so the boys had these and milk for brekkie.

Did go fresh food shopping and had a cuppa with a [STRIKE]slightly bonkers[/STRIKE] very amusing friend. Had to collect another friend's daughter from school as the mum and dad had been delayed car-hunting miles away and lost track of time.

Oh, I swept the floors....

Hello :hello:

I'm not at work today - though I should have been . I spent most of last night in high anxiety mode and got very little sleep (and what sleep I got was dream-ridden), got up and got ready for work - on automatic pilot I think, then had a meltdown instead. Poor DS didn't know where it had come from - not sure I did tbh.

I've discovered there is a direct correlation between the number of dirty pots here and my mental health. I've not WUDUPA since Monday evening ....I suspect that's when the downward slide into mental hell began.

Looking at possible causes I've come up with: the change in my eating habits affecting my brain chemistry?; being bored stupid at work most of the time (the novelty of not being rushed off my feet has definitely worn off - there must surely be a middle road between bored and crazily busy?); the dratted radio at work - but I think that's possibly a symptom rather than a cause (because I'm bored there's nothing to help me tune out the noise); all or none of the above .

Flying? I made the bed and fed the birds as part on my morning routine. Difficult to motivate myself to do anything at the minute. At least Sweetie (budgie) is happy to have my company

Normal service will be resumed as soon as possible (I hope!!!)

PS If anyone sees my mojo please send it home - it's done a runner!

So sorry you struggle that way Roundtuit; I can be similar sometimes so you have my sympathies x

Flying wise not a lot apart from putting away dry washing, washing and hanging up wet stuff. Picked up some stuff from table and that's about it I'm afraid. Rubbed in 2 lots of ibuprofen gel and think it is helping a bit - cut back on my work so much but a case of needs must.

Been having a chat with Huck's owner and I think she is realising I don't want to be taken for granted as feel that has been the case but cleared the air now and said I can only do just Huck 3 days a week as from beginning of February whereas at the moment I'm doing 2 7 days a week almost!!

J doing tea for us which is nice. Got the wood burner going as it's cold.
