Weekly Flylady Thread 8th October 2018

OH did roast chicken for us tonight, too. It was the first time we've had chicken in ages.

Spice cupboard turned out and moved to another cupboard so the lodgers will have a dedicated floor standing cupboard next to the fridge, out of the cooking area. Nearly all of them were out of date. *fling*

There's a shelf in the meter cupboard in the double bedroom that's been a gritty, dusty void since I bought the house 25 years ago. I think it's the only part of the entire house that is totally unreconstucted. (It's in the old scullery, apparently the copper was still in there when the previous owner bought the house.) I've found where I'm going to keep spare lightbulbs, which has been an issue forever. I don't know why it took me so long to figure it out - the circuit breakers trip whenever a bulb goes so it's the obvious place for them.

Tax return done. After being a Flylady for nearly five and a half years I am, at last, frogless. It's such a relief and I honestly thought I'd never, ever clear them because as fast as I got one done, another three were alwasys nipping at my heels and a new one invariably cropped up along the way. It was something I was aiming at all the way through the year as *the* central plank of Hovel to Haven. I have massses of things that need doing, but none are frogs and pretty much all of them can wait until I feel like doing them.

From tomorrow I'm going to be sewing, with a Christmas Fair on 4 November as the target date. Such a relief to be able to concentrate on it at long last. It's been a long and very, very frustrating year while I haven't been able to get on with it.

Hi everyone - hope all is well. Sorry I've been MIA but thank you for the thoughts and hugs. Things are still difficult with Mum but I have had a lot of supply work which has eased money worries. I have also got 3 new baby ratties, opened a new Rainbow Unit (which is going well) and been accepted for a Girlguiding cultural event in Uganda in December

I have skimmed the threads over the last few weeks but have retained little info so please take congrats, hugs, thoughts and vibes as necessary xx

I need to be in this week - thanks Natty :A - so will sort a mini list that should be doable!

Mooooooooooooonday ~ Kitchen

Declutter and wipe the worksurfaces
Vacuum floor

Wipe and replace all small appliances
Clean the hob
Binbag dance
Wash the window

Morning all. Glad you're sounding more positive Frodders.


Today I plan to dust the LR, hoover/sweep/wash all floors and change the bedding as a minimum in addition to the dailies and dog walking.


Have a great day everyone.

Morning all.

Lovely to 'see' you, Frodders.

Thank you for the lists. After a super busy weekend, I luckily have a day at home today, although the rest of the week will be juggling paid stuff.

I inadvertently ticked off a job from today's list on Saturday when I found weevils in the new bag of flour. And the one next to it. And the next one. Different types of flour, I hasten to add, before you think that I have 25 kgs of plain flour in my cupboard. Flour thrown, cupboard cleaned out, and apples were not turned into pie after all.

Today I need to do something about the kitchen and dining room, and I have a list of small but annoying jobs to do. And the tax return. Serious frogless envy here, HB.

I will start by pegging out the just washed towels. Really all I want to do is to have a little snooze...

Morning all, I'm in please. Made a big change as am stopping doing my paid job (typing) due to really bad pains in my elbows, arms and hands - osteopath says I have bad inflammation of the elbow and it's all the typing that does it. Going for an interview this afternoon about a dog walking job so will see how it goes.

Froddy so glad you getting more help and many congratulations on your trip in December!

Honey Bear oh to be frogless, that would be amazing.

Fayolle ugh to weevils in the flour - horrid things aren't they.

Right enough typing.... best get on x
