Weekly Flylady Thread 5th February 2018

Welcome back SGT. :wave:

Jojo, the only way I could reset my body clock to accepting going to bed and getting a good night's sleep at a reasonable hour was to reset it gradually. I was used to turning the light out at anywhere between 1.00 and 2.00 am every night, but by doing three to five nights of strictly 1.00 am at the lastest, then 12.30 am, then midnight, then 11.30 pm, then 11.00 I discovered my personal sleep pattern was that it needed to be 11.30 pm. If I do that I wake up before the alarm and I feel pretty good most of the day. (Late nights at weekends aren't helpful.) I also seem to need a lot more sleep in the winter which I can only assume is to do with getting enough daylight. I recently slipped back into bad old habits and the result was absolutely disastrous. It's been a long time since I've felt that ill and dispressed, and spent every evening out with friends yawning. Not good.

Good luck with the house-hunting FBO.

Everything tidied away and ready for the day. How come having spent hours yesterday cleaning there are dust bunnies (basically Kelpie's hair) everywhere I look? I know it wasn't spotless, but Come ON. Oven pans from last night are still unwashed on the sundeck so I'll deal with them when I do the lunchtime washing up.

Froggie minutes almost completed, then I'm hoping the dog trainer with the secure field will allow Kelpie and I to go and practice a bit of his recall and target training. That'll completely knacker him for a couple of days.

:wave: FBO (glad you're feeling so much better and hope you get your new home soon) and :hello: SGT.

Progress so far:
- Clear sills and wipe
- Clean Windows
- Empty bin x5 and leave manky one soaking in bleach
- Clear sides and wipe down
- Wipe kettle and other small appliances
- Empty toaster and wipe crumb tray
- Check fridge and fruit bowl for anything that needs using or flinging.
- Wipe down cupboard fronts
- Give fridge a proper clean out - wash shelves etc and wipe down the door strips.

Also started to write shopping list for later - we have enough food for a half-decent lunch

Must work on my essay for a couple of hours now - MAD half-hour x 4, then it will be lunchtime! (Like Rosie, I think I'm food-oriented...)

I'm back in this week and boy does the house need it. Been to paid stuff this morning so now to start. Laundry (wash, dry, iron and put away, I will not allow an ironing mountain to develop) and vacuuming floors.

Also need to shop

That will probably be enough as today is the first day for 3 weeks I have felt human, still coughing loads but not exhausted when I get up so hopefully and over this virus.

Off to get a load in WM so see you later

Welcome newbies and returners

Beautiful sunshine here but, oh my, it's cold. Didn't put the heating on during the day at all in Jan but have given in today.

Somehow I've managed to complete Level 2 today - am going to leave the window as I'm sure Valli will put windows on other lists and I'd rather do them altogether. Will run the vacuum around later.
