Fledglings flying into March.

[HillsBesideTheSea]

Right you horrible lot stop nattering so much nah it wouldn't be fun if you did

So you have wandered into this corner of MN were the fledglings - a long running but very friendly group welcomes newbies and follows the flylady way to try to get decluttered and on top of the boring stuff in order to have more time for the fun other boring but essential stuff

No idea whose turn it was to run the thread this month but here it the thread and we can figure it out from there.

And so do you Afresh

and actually

while I think about it

Most of us on here

Well done for testicle-free plumbing feat sc 😂⭐️

Good work sc! And spa day would be fab but think my babysitting offer will only stretch to a meal...

Daily routine
15 mins kitchen - decluttered fridge, cupboard, washed up and emptied dishwasher again
Swish and swipe bathroom
Booked meal
Booked ds tickets next week
Sorted out meal plan for this week and next

To do
Hotspot check kitchen but think all ok atm
Cook dinner - chicken cacciatore (sp!?) With either little roast potatoes or mash. Mash isnt very Italian though. I think the dish is Italian anyway haven't made it before!!

Oh and dreaded photo book i think I've found a good offer on one so that's a start!

sc might need a bit more information.

Sorry have pm'd!

hope you feel better soon cs thanks for the links

unsurprisingly I still didn't get my photobook done!! The bloody thing is so HARD to do. I got the rage with it and turned the computer off in a major huff. But on a positive note I did at least get the photos all downloaded onto the desktop computer ready to try again another day...

and I sorted some socks!

Hello all,

No flying today as at work then prioritised Facebook and presentation writing tonight so am firmly in naughty corner. Really should have sorted some stuff out to prepare for tomorrow as you say Afresh but I didn’t. Glad I have done presentation though so actually I think it was worth it.

Means tomorrow night I can figure out how I will play it, memory stick etc and try on interview outfit.

Cotswold, sorry you are still ill. Shall I do links tomorrow?

Afresh, by roly wipes do you mean the ends curl up ? Yes but they are 4 and a half years old now so not exactly brand new. I think they did roll up a bit early on though so don’t stack perfectly.

foxes, I’m sure I’ve seen an advert on Facebook for simple photo books. It was Australian and showed a busy mum not having time to make one. I’ll see if I can remember it although it sounds as if you already have one.

Love the cat pic zoo and glad little zoo feeling better.

Lots of sanity lost here when I had kids too . I love that thread SC . For a long time when DD1 woke at 5 or before I fantasised about hoovering outside her door at 5am when she became a teenager. Have only read a few pages so will have to read more.

Cag, did I read that your washing machine is leaking ? You have my sympathies if so.

Big wing flaps to all. Am giving up for today. Will fly tomorrow!

Today is a write off. Not managing to get up to bed, you know when you’re too exhausted to go to bed? That. In my defence it’s more that I’m too tired to carry baby, get her dressed etc. Aargh. Waiting up for DH I think. Eaten rubbish and feel rubbish too.

Hope you feel better cotswold

ta da

✅library - returned book, reserved a book, found some chemistry books, did printing, handed over game I sold to friend
✅DH did a wash, it didn’t leak thank goodness, we think it was something stuck in the door last night which unsealed the seal
✅made it to gymnastics, first time I’ve had to take DD since baby arrived, her coach got a lovely smiley baby cuddle 😍 I played chemistry fluxx with DS while we waited
✅fuck all else. Hair all tangled, living room a shithole and I feel extra fat this evening 😳🙈

That's not a write off Cag you've done loads!!!!

Bit of a mixed day here. Suffice to say nowhere near visitor ready and plumber no.3 has to return tomorrow. Went food shopping, half school day so cooked DD proper lunch, emptied dw, cleaned half bathroom, helped DD with lang testing, X 2 more laundry, hung up washing, visited chemist, dog walk 1, watched Crufts! Cooked supper (sort of a salade nicoise). Tidied kitchen and shone sink. Filled DW. Filled wms.

Still need to do boudoir before it descends in to chaos again!

G'night all!

Yes stressy that is what i meant, some of the reviews online complained of the wipes rolling up. Anyway mine came yesterday and so far happy. Two have been through the washer, shrank slightly, dried overnight on radiator nice and flat. I would expect them to roll after as much use as your but people online had said after first use!

Hope lil zoo feeling better zoo

Cag stop being so hard on yourself! You did plenty. More than everyone fed no one dead! Fwiw my hair is in desperate need of a wash and i have eaten much chocolate this week!

Sc i would much prefer a night in a hotel alone to a meal or spa day. Just to sleep! However i dread to think of the carnage i would return to.

Hope your feeling brighter cs

Making photo books is an absoloute bastard foxes but they look so good.

Ok
I am not making so many posts on purpose i promise

But has anyone got a shark steam mop as i am eyeing one up!

Morning all.

Afresh makes me tired reading it. WOW!

I got kicked off for some reason and couldn't get longed on. A message came up but I didn't get to read it as it suddenly disappeared.

Did a bit of flying on my day off.
Put clothes away. Hate this job but put radio on and made myself do it before breakfast! It worked.
Vacuumed all downstairs.
Lit fire
Cleaned out toaster
Wiped work tops, shined sink, soaked clothes lemon zest mmm.
Tidied sitting room.

Went to hospital app. Had to cancel last week because of snow I couldn't get out. I have high blood pressure, going to do scan, slight kidney ? Consulant very pleasant in and out in less than an hour. I put three hours on parking😛 made someone's day by giving them the remaining 2 plus hours.😄 on meds now and follow up in a month. Will try and get weight down a bit by then. Going to start slowly with a short walk every day.
Zoo thanks that meant a lot that day I was feeling really fed up about something at work and myself not getting things done due to feeling so tired.i could reply because it wouldn't let me back on. I've tried a few times.
SC you should have given a health warning out to that thread. I laughed so much I had to leave for wheezing.

Wing flaps to everyone. Will need to get up we are having WBD today so need to get in a bit earlier as I am doing breakfast with some. Need to buy orange juice on the way.

Plan for today
Boudoir mess, just small corner.
Clean fridge
Hot spot, table.
Hob
Wash floor if enough energy.
Rest of kitchen fairly good after time off.

toostressy I haven't got one started as the one I did start i deleted in a huff so let me know if you do see an easy one! I have this trouble every yesr with photo books!

No, but I bought an expensive Polti. It is in the shed. Not used enough. It does a good job though. We have no where to house it in the house no cupboards for mops, vacuum etc. under stairs bit is part of dining room and we have the computer there.

Those smaller mops weren't about but look ideal. The only thing I would say is you can't scrub and sometimes need to get a cloth and rub stain. It does make you feel like it is sanitised afterwards. Mine takes ages to heat up but has a large tank if I lug it upstairs I can do bathroom as well.
