Flying Fakers come what May! Come and join the half-arsed Fledglings as we post our To Do and Ta Da lists and get our houses just a tiny bit tidier...

[Cagliostro]

Or try to anyway!

All welcome! I am struggling to stay awake so I’ll do the proper thread stuff tomorrow, but if you’d like some encouragement and chat while you get your house sorted then this is the place for you. We follow flylady in a delightfully lax sort of fashion.

Special thanks to zoo for the title idea 💐 😘

Argh so I actually had links totally ready to go and I forgot to post them 🤦‍♀️

Dining room table hot spots
Jettisoned dead flowers and washed vase
Filled dw and cleaned down kitchen again

Great that Lil Zoo's results came back ok Zoo!

True sc it’s still crazy hot here, no flying really.

Long day. Workshops were useful. Got some leads but the battles ahead are intimidating to say the least. Cagletini charmed the socks off everyone at the workshops :o

Hope the new diet works zoo DD’s throat swab came back clear so now we don’t know whether to finish ABs or not 🤔

SC I play a very passive aggressive game of how many empty toilet rolls until... Worst it got to was 7 best was 2. Hints are starting to be gotten. I think the tally chart of how many until gone was the last straw. kept me amused and not killing any one though

No flying has been done.
I have refused to bake a cake, have bought something for the only person who really cares
apparently the mouse mat I gave ds to borrow is just wrong

ds has a serious case of the serious grumps. By god does he not handle frustrations well. Ah well at least it is only adults next door.

ta da
✅workshops
✅paid for a home ed trip
✅exercise DVD (some of it until baby woke up)
✅cleaned out fridge and washed veg drawers
✅scanned shopping
✅home ed - fit some basic daily stuff in before we left, and optimistically gave them some workbook pages to do at the event, which they actually did, despite the noise and crowds - really pleased with that!
✅read to the Caglets

Same here Hills! I once got to nine but it secretly suited my purposes as I was using them for sweet pea planting

Great list Cag!

I am off to wreck2 at crack of sparrows tomorrow for a bit (if I feel ok) so waves to everyone! Happy Flying!

Gah - don't start me on toilet rolls. I usually crack when it gets to 4. May see if I can out wait them on this. I have broken DD of the habit of leaving her breakfast bowl on the side which is something.

Had a nice afternoon, Tuesday friend (I like my routines) was round and we did some sample decoupage boxes for my residential home craft classes this month. DD joined in and quite pleasant. She's got quite a craft talent when she wants.

Rest of the day was the usual stuff, I did manage a little walk as it was such a nice evening but I'm leaving the ironing until the morning.

And I've just realised half my craft cupboard is on my bed so I better get that cleared.

We are currently up to 12 empty loo roll tubes.
There is approx bin bag washing under D's/dd2 beds
I am cracking......

Thanks Zoo (waves). Don't crack!

I have been bitten in night by industrious mozzie, seem to be having some sort of reaction to the bites. Oh joy.

(SC puts large platter of croissants in naughty corner along with big bowl of berries for everyone to share, fills teapot, tiptoes out with suitcase.)

Morning all

I too am the loo roll fairy

I wonder what this medical condition is that all our families have which make them unable to dispose of one!

I've it's called acute lazyitis.otherwise known as blind to anything not pointed at and ranted over....

Tadas
Cat/kits fed
Wash on
Bleach lav
Cleared dining table

I have my kitchen window open and it's very cool

Morning all. Debating whether to get up or have another doze / sleep. Day off. Think I will have another hour and pop back later.

I have lazy it's going to go back to sleep for an hour and hope it improves.

Impressive list already zoo😄

Tada(cont)
Wash up
Wipe kitchen surfaces
Clean toaster
Wipe hob
Clean out half a cupboard,wipe and return items
Wash in dryer,more on
Breakfasts and pack ups

Feels cool enough to actually move today

We're up to two toilet roll middles at the moment, they seem to be invisible to everyone except me. DD leaves her cereal bowl on the table every morning too .

I really should get up. Bank holiday weeks are always hectic as I work part time including Mondays but as the office shuts then I have to make up my hours later in the week. Wednesdays have a particularly complicated evening schedule of activities too, however in the midst of it all I usually get the house to myself for half an hour in the evening.

I just found what looked like a huge maggot in my food cupboard

Googled it and suspect it's a moth larvae.mr Google says I have to throw all food away and scrub them bleach it out

Not scrub them(not cleaning insects)then as in the cupboard!!

I have finally decided to take my mum up on her offer of looking after the dc every now and then for me to catch up with work. I try and fit it in evenings and weekends but it just isn't working as dh is also studying then. The dc will be more than happy with my mum but for some reason I feel terribly guilty I think because I never did it with dd so I feel bad for ds and because I don't want to take up my mum's free time.

Anyway in the meantime going to try and do some work this evening but already dreading it as it'll be after the dc are in bed and I just want to collapse in a heap at that point!

Why do I over complicate everything in my head? This would be dh response to this issue - oh I don't have quite enough time to do everything, mum has offered help, accept help, do work, say a big thank you and buy mum presents

goth I have OCD and I can't cope with salvage anything
I tend get up at butt crack of dawn(more so when birds sing in summer) as you may notice I peak early and as day goes on I taper off sometimes sneak in a cheeky nap it's the way I like to roll

Tada
Dry wash fold n put away(2loads)
Wash up breakfast dishes
Debating if i might go salvage laundry from zoolets rooms fighting urge but feel myself weakening

I left "that" cupboard soaking in bleach mix.i saw a moth fly in.my rage at idea it copulating amongst MY cereal boxes I shut door allowing the fumes to instill justice.....

foxes I was told a very long time ago
"As a mum if you don't feel guilty you ain't doing it right"
Wise words that are as relevant today as they were when first uttered to me over 20years ago

Quiet in here today.....

Tadas
fearfully cleaned out other bottom cupboard((no unwanted guests.phew))
Quick tidy under the stairs
Sweep living room floor
Sweep kitchen floor
Tidy hall
Wipe bath
Wipe sink

Still try fight urge attack zoolets rooms/unearth the undoubtably huge laundry piles....
