Weekly Flylady Thread 13th May 2019

Hello all!

I'm in, slightly lurking, sometimes flying from my own list, trying g desperately to get back into a routine. Today was a good day, even if the nanny pygmy goat and her 3 week old kids broke out of the stable and rampaged across the front garden. Honestly, they're so cute that I stood laughing for ages before rounding them up.

Morning all

Another lovely day here, washing in so will peg on line to dry when finished. Early start to paid stuff today so will try and do the living room when I have a break between telephone meetings later on.

Hope you all have a good day.

Not much flying will be done here as the day is already over full. But downstairs is tidied round, kitchen is respectable and have stripped the bed and put WM on, it can go straight back on before we go to bed tonight so bed has plenty of time to air.

Funfair setting up outside for the village fete this weekend, I am not amused, basically a week of noise and chaos on the road. But it's only once a year and I know my kids looked forward to it when they were younger.

Bon courage to Fayolle's DD, it's nice to hear that some still do French.

Ooooh, Paul O'Grady, Valli - you personally or MSE or Flyladies? I like P O'G. And when?

Welcome Bad Cat! :wave: Flying works best when people post, so do carry on letting us know how it's going.

Drama. Layla collapsed on her 6.00 pm walk last night, off to the vets because I thought it was a fit; apparently she has a Grade 2/3 heart murmur. She's not a happy dog. Having had bloods taken she threw up in car coming home, and then wouldn't take anything apart from water once she was home; threw up this morning and then fainted again in her crate and doesn't mind being left in there. She shouldn't do stairs apparently, and only walking, not running when out and about, cardiology vet doesn't have any spare appointments locally until 10 June. Layla will be travelling to where the vet can see her, then. Thank goodness she's insured, which is the only good news. I'm devastated.

OH woke up this morning at 4.00 am to hear a cat hissing in the bathroom, went in there to find two black cats, only one of which is ours. We've cat-proofed house and yard so effectively that while (obviously) a cat can get in, none of them can get out apparently. I did wonder why ours had suddenly started eating bread during the night, crapping in the shower and shedding black fur in the basement and why Higgs hissed at me yesterday. Fake Higgs, basically. It's now in a very, very inaccessible place but I've fed it well (it was obviously absolutely starving) and given it a bowl of water and it has access to a litter tray. It's absolutely terrified. Ours are shut in the sitting room with the same facilities. I have no idea how I'm going to trap it, and the vet practice can't access their stray cat register because the computer's down.


OH decluttered to the station on his way to the Cannes Film Festival - with my blessing, with Brownie Points because he offered to cancel going - car washed with the leftover water from clearing up the dogsick in the back, yoghurt strained, washing folded and put away, WM run with rug from car, another load about to go on (may as well, sun is shining), about to walk Layla.

Three guests arriving late this afternoon so the cat situation has to be resolved by then, and I'm hosting a meeting tonight which was always going to be tricky. Just as well I got all the supplies in for it yesterday on my way back from volunteering.
