Weekly Flylady Thread 19th June 2017

Thanks Valli and Natty

I'm sticking to plan and checking in. Today's MUSTS:

1) Hot whites wash (Currenty in WM)
2) Menu planning
3) Shopping
4) Bake cake for tonight
5) Bake bread for DH sandwiches
6) Clear kitchen mess resulting from above
7) Phone car insurers re. Not renewing with them
8) Upload outline crap CV to Careers website before counselling coversation on Wednesday
9) Read and do tasks in next chapter of The Artists Way before meeting tomorrow afternoon
10) Share at my AA meeting tonight. PREP for it

OK. 10. A nice round number. Iona I'm channeling your amazing GUAG as mine is hopeless.

What's the worst they can do if you ring them every hour ATB? They can't bite you, all they'll do is be rude. Which they are, anyway by not paying, which is passive aggresive. Just be scrupulously polite and say you will accept a bank transfer rather than waste their time asking for a cheque. Repeatedly. Until they just pay. (((Hugs))) for you.

And a (((hug))) for you FBO, rather than a kick up the jacksy. It sounds as though you've been through it a bit with work lately, and you're doing really, really well by my reading of what you're dealing with. Whatever you do off that list is progress, and that's all that's required of us - to make progress every day.

As I've lived in Plymouth now for 25 years I think I'm pretty used to the sound of seagulls, Ionafan! When I used to work at a big hotel in Sidmouth (sea views from almost all the rooms, if you opened the window too wide you'd pretty much fall into the sea) guests would complain about the noise they made, and '... could we do something about it?' Doh!

Gorgeous day here, absolutely gorgeous. Up and at it early (for me) and most of the kitchen list was done before I read yours, Natty, because it needed it so badly. I'll do some of the rest later just to feel virtuous if I have the energy. Today is the perfect day for Kelpie's sheepskin rug which badly needs a twirl in the WM and a boiling hot day to dry. And I need to finish getting ready for the arrivals.

If there's time I've got a lot of tiny lavendar plants that need potting up and a few other things that need potting in their final positions. I've got plenty of shade to work in so it's rather lovely.

Oh well scrub the solar panel review, having rung last night to confirm a 10am appt, they rang at 10.15 just now to say they haven't been able to locate a technician who can visit. Back to my report now but at least preparing for a visit got the lounge table tidied and a few things put away.

Meandthe2 a couple of weeks ago Valli came up with the MAD half hour - just pick a task that you've been putting off, and commit to just half and hour to make a Difference. My first one was paperwork - I organised it in a week of MAD half hours - maybe did about 4 sessions over the week. Then I was supposed to sort through kids artwork and certificate piles, but I somehow ignored that last week
Does that help? X

I've got washing out on the line, few bits of groceries and I've planted 2 clematis behind the back fence. I hid an old garden arch behind there that I can't dismantle (rust) so I've put it behind the fence in the middle, hopefully later in the summer we'll have some flowers climbing up it :T boy it was hot though...

I'm now laid on the bed with the window open. Must move... Lol

Hi all

Home from paid stuff. Job applied for on DSs behalf, however, the questions you have to answer for even a basic minimum wage job are ridiculous. Sigh. WM on, DW on, quick tidy around. Now (reluctantly) on with the paid stuff for job no. 2.
