April Flylady. In which you’ll find Cake for the Fledglings and Compassion for the Frazzled. All welcome as we sort our houses out!

[Cagliostro]

Hello everyone,
Welcome to the Flylady thread for April, where we follow (sort of) the Flylady system with baby steps, missions, daily focuses (foci?!) and decluttering. But more than that, we are a supportive bunch where we share the trials and tribulations of everyday life. We post our to do and ta da lists and chat a whole lot.
Newbies, lurkers and returners always welcome!
Back tonight with links for tomorrow!

ivegot I have been keeping them out of the sun / covered up as the pharmacist said the rash needs to go before we put more cream on as even a different cream will make the current rash worse. Ds looks better but dd face is still very red . Not sure what I'll do for nursery tomorrow as even if it's cooler I think she might need some cream on. She has a massive hat though so maybe that will be enough!

Cag that sounds hard going. Sometimes they do have nights like that don't they let's hope she sleeps better tonight.

Have just brought in the washing

Absolutely chucking it down here. but it does make much nicer weather for doing all the things.

First up? Learning to plaster... Don't. ask.

[waves from the countryside]

Bright sunshine with massive scary thunder claps here! Beautiful apple blossom too!
Desperately trying to get as much mowing and strimming before the clouds open!

I am never ever attempting to plaster again. Professionals all the way!

It's start cloud up here now

Apparently there was a few key steps the teacher forgot to tell me before I started Meh job done next bed building... All the DIY going on here.

Anyone who has had to commando style crawl under a bed to put it together knows exactly how much I do not need to go to the gym this week. I fucking hope it is comfy and lasts after that!

Long trip over the hills in storm level rain is positively appealing after that

Positively sunny here at the moment. Been weeding and cleaning the car out. Pop back laterals I off for tea & biscuits while it is still dry. Thunderstorms last night and showers this morning.

I've spent best part 3hours with a 38mm paintbrush stepping from item furniture to another attempt paint a fucking ceiling.about start 3rd coat,I am working on one half ceiling only as that doesn't require moving furniture to continue painting.theres no room in here to move stuff out of do anything else but work around stuff with minimum mess allowed hence small brush.i am past losing will to live.my back,neck and head are screaming in agony.
Collapsing in fetid heap will occur with or without permission

I need help D's and lil zoo wash hairs and the littertray needs emptying

Not much else but feeding everyone's go happen
THE END

Laterals? Later!😼

I don't usually clean on Sunday's because I think as much as possible it should be a day of rest. Not easy with a family but now I can I usually relax and recharge my batteries. However due to helping with church things yesterday I have and I must have had more energy as I have got loads done.

Ta Das
Made bed, put clothes away, put clothes for wash. Did two loads yesterday but found some more. Tidied bedside table. Put shoes away.

Washing on.
Emptied dishwasher and re load throughout day.
Cereal and scrambled egg for breakfast. Wiped work tops.
Tidied hot spot dining table.
Fed hen.
Took plastic bags to car for school.
Vacuumed downstairs last night but did fireplace this morning.
Swish and swipe bathroom and cleaned glass shower doors.
Changed towels, cleaned towel rail.
I did all this by 8:30 as someone was arriving. I was up early. Then went to Mass, coffee, chat about yesterday.
This afternoon I cleaned out the car, vacuumed it. Weeded the path.
Had a cup of tea, crossword and a little nap.
Going for shower now as I have been invited to a birthday party tonight with buffet😀

Oh so sorry Hills thank you so much for the link. Fully understand now.
Bit concerned about mine and can't really change because it was the one I used last time and I left upset over something. Mostly keep off AIBU now. My effort to help someone back fired because of someone else's lack of understanding of a support group I recommended.

Wow there's a lot of productiveness on here today! I have been mainly eating and drinking just finished some more of dh home made pizza and now to get the dc to bed.

Ta da
Ordered prescription sunglasses (so now the sun is sure to disappear sorry about that!)

Wish I had homemade pizza foxes

I have escaped the bedroom ceiling.i fear my back and neck may never be same again.agony isn't really strong enough((and i still have other half ceiling,walls and cupboards to paint yet))
IF we had less stuff and more space it would be easy to decorate,but oh no thread stuff everywhere and I need to decorate so we can add storage(shelves etc) to improve the situation
I need feed zoolets,I've washed hair and they now sorting baths etc
Littertray clean(but still smells.think we need a new tray as the urine smell seems impregnated the plastic?)I may invest a new box and try clumping litter everyone raves about in the cat section
Stressy have you a littertray,and if so what do you use in it?

Lil zoo has very helpfully asked Vegemite sandwiches for tea as I am walking like I've been folded in half so at least it's minimal faff and standing up

I am dreading tomorrow....think tin man from Oz without the oil can

you have worked so hard today, hope you recover overnight!

Didn’t get any more sleep as we had family over. Was nice as we went to the park, but I’m knackered now, in that “CBA to get the baby to bed so just sitting on the sofa with her” type mood

ta da
✅got some fresh air and exercise
✅made dinner rather than succumbing to takeaway (cagletini tried tomato pasta! Dear god the mess)
✅put a wash on

Meh

Oh yum Vegemite. Can I have mine on toast?

Back from party. Delicious buffet. Got encouraged to take some home. Lovely ham for lunch tomorrow. Just need to buy some bread rolls as Spar sold out of most bread and no rolls.

Sorry but

Marmite > Vegemite

Hello everyone, I start my new job today!

Ta das for last few days
Decluttered and tidied my bedroom
Washing away (lots)
Cleaned bathroom
Some work in the rotten decking, slate and mud wasteland garden

Packed lunches are made, more washing is on the timer to finish when I'm home, I'm showered and am going to try and make myself look presentable.

Sorry not to have caught up with the thread, very little time. I hope you are all OK enjoying the lovely weather. I feel so much happier for a bit of sunshine.
