Weekly Flylady Thread 9th October 2017

Happy-healthy-dog vibes for Rosie and Kelpie.

I'll be doing what bit I can manage again this week; the girls are here til Thursday. In fact next task is to take them for their walk - Mr LW will come with me, we have a good system, he takes Milly and walks in front, and I follow on on the mobility buggy, with Mia in tow.

Bathroom was blitzed yesterday, so that's all good.

Mr LW has seen the GP again this morning; the Omeprazole he's been taking for a month did not one iota of good (I didn't think it would, but one has to do what the GP says) so now he's being referred to a specialist.

Bin day tomorrow, so I need to get the recycling bagged up ready to go. I shall also have to put the black bag out, as it's full; but it's not done bad, it's eight weeks since I put the last one out.

Afternoon all.
I would like to once again sneak back in. We have just bought a house and I would like to keep it all sparkly and clean.
I also have one box left to unpack that has been sitting in the dining room for three weeks now. Plus I need to go through the books on the bookshelf (they are stacked in a bookcase at least, but not tidy)
I have bits and pieces I would like to sell, so I need to organise that.
BF is currently working on the pups bedroom. We have a small oddly shaped room, which the previous owners used as a utility room, however there is plenty of space in the kitchen for a washing machine and dishwasher. So we are converting it into a small bedroom for Duncan (the pup).
BF is putting wooden cladding on the walls to hide the pipes from the boiler (and away from doggy teeth) then I shall be getting on with the painting later in the week.
This is the only room we will be decorating before xmas, so we can get Duncan out of his crate and in a nice secure space. We will then be saving up and tackling more rooms in the spring/summer time.

Paint Duncans room

Not too much done from the list, but DW and WM have been on, wet washing hung, dry washing put away (actually put away, not folded and left on the chest of drawers for a week as usual)
BF making good progress with Duncans room. Most of the cladding is up. He's on holiday from work tomorrow too, so should be hopefully finished off tomorrow, then I'll be able to paint on wednesday.
New blind has been bought, but I cannot find a light shade I like, so I'm leaning towards painting the current shade with some left over tester paint.

Bonjour,
I'm in this week,

Every little helps, this will be my 3rd week and so far lounge and bedroom are quite reasonable and kitchen is improving. I try to do something from the list each day as I know that in the long run it will make a difference and I also try to keep on top of at least tidying the 2 rooms that are good. They are a long way from perfect, whatever that is but they are nice to be in now.

If I haven't done it I'm not going to worry about it, look at what I have done not what I haven't. Be positive.
Today have WM x 2, TD x 2, made bed, tidied round lounge, cleared plates into DW and washed pan, a few bits cleared off the sink unit in the bathroom and towels put in wash. Toilet wiped round. China brought back to house on Sunday evening unpacked and put away in kitchen. Area behind desk cleaned, it has been pulled out to sort a wiring problem that was fixed days ago and not yet been put back but will do that once floor dry.
