Weekly Flylady Thread 15th October 2018

Morning all!

Big hugs ATB. Fingers crossed all is well. X

Busy tiling downstairs wet room and utility again today, so not much flying will take place. Oh and I have my friend's children after school...joy...

Morning

dentist appointment for half an hour, been told to eat before I go, which I have, as I will be unlikey to be able to eat for at least 3 to 4 hours....................

Daily stuff done
Meter reading done for gas and elec and submitted online

Now going to do some research into house ins as it seems that is due in a few weeks time, want to make sure I get the best deal.

Morning all,

Not sure how it got to being this time, though. Lots of posivibes for everyone in need.

I really need to do the kitchen level 1 and the extras, so instead I have changed the bedding, put one load through the wm, and hung that indoors. I've dashed through the market for fruit and fish, and done a small shop, as we need to start living off the freezer. It will be green beans all the way to Christmas at this rate. We have to go to a school meeting later this afternoon, so it may be that I can nip into the cs to offload a bag while DH sits in the getaway car.

So I need to:
-load a bag for the cs,
-sort out the kitchen lightbulbs which are taking it in turn to fail,
-clean the bedroom after covering the floor with hair from the dreaded hairwash
-find the instructions for getting the ensuite shower head off. It is more scale than holes. Failing that I will try to wedge it in lemon juice (?) somehow.
I'll be back later...

Spent today dealing with another area at work where the prevailing attitude was Buy More and Just Cram It All In Somehow. And if you can't find something, just buy another 3 more expensive ones and lose those, too. Whilst complaining that the area is unusable because it's too small, so leaving it and the thousands of pounds worth of equipment to lay gathering dust for five years.

Still going to take all of tomorrow and probably Friday to get it finished and the equipment working, but, considering the thousands spent at the time the area was created and kitted out, it appears that nobody actually thought to apply a tiny bit of logic, forethought or planning to the layout.

It will be sparkling clean. I don't have burning in my hands now when scrambling under and behind the workstations, as I quite possibly knackered the cleaners' vacuum with the accumulated detritus of about 10 years of no cleaning, buying more and more stuff and just lumping it in on top of everything else, the windows are actually see through to the extent that my boss could actually see me in there [Note to Self: Draw the Curtains if I Need Some Alone Time] and I might actually stop sneezing by a week next Tuesday.

I have also started carefully labelling both plugs and the other ends of the leads that form a hydra's nest of connections. This will take some time, as there are roughly 300 of the beggars. At present, I can promise that it will become a usable space, but I haven't the foggiest if anything actually works, because I've not got anywhere near switching the blasted things on.

But it meant almost an entire day not having to speak to anybody else, which was quite peaceful. And once it's done, I will have gained a great workspace and a bazillion Brownie Points, although I will then have to learn to use the equipment pretty sharpish, as I'm needed to do it over half term.


Heaven help any person who leaves something out or makes a mess in there once I've finished it.
