Have done no flying today. DH did do some painting though so perhaps that counts. Will need another coat sometime this week.

Thanks for setting up second thread SC and big wing flaps to all.

morning all

zoo the buggers added rapeseed oil. which is a pita if you were using vitalite because it DIDN'T contain rapeseed oil and was also milk free. I am feeling the need to write a letter of complaint this morning. I will be back to making 2 cakes for birthdays bastarding recipe improvements. I also get to break the news to the person this morning. So much fun. Not.

My brain thinks i should be up early for something this morning. Except it won't tell me any more information so I have no idea what it thinks I should be up early for

Hurts to breathe this morning Going to be a fun day then.

Rapesseds ok for us at the moment

Argue extensively with dd2 for leaving ingredients for today's cookery class to last minute(I had list thrust at me yesterday but needed to weigh every thing out)

Make sure both dd2 and D's packed extra bottles water

Threw them out the door

With MINT FFS

Good morning all!

Just posting links for today again on this thread too for ease of referall!

Baby step no. 25 for Mon 25th June is here! Reading Flylady's personal testimonal on how she developed her routines one step at a time and how not to get bogged down in perfectionism!

We are in Zone 5 all this this week: [[http://www.flylady.net/d/zones/zone-5/
The Living Room, Den, Family Room (June 24-30) here]]. Spend 15 mins a day decluttering this area (and/or do a mission!).

If you are at the stage where you have finished decluttering Zone 5, here is the [[http://www.flylady.net/d/zones/detailed-cleaning-zone-5/
detailed cleaning list]] for the sitting room etc.

Monday's mission is: here. Sofa and chair diving!

Monday's daily focus is: the home bleugh. Ten mins on each of seven essential tasks. NB not many of us can do it in this time!

The monthly habit for June is keeping hydrated by drinking lots of water.

A summary of the above (which should update itself daily) can be found in the flight plan here.

Have a productive start to the week everyone!

***

There is another oil in it so might be worth an ingrediants list read because that was the only thing that stuck in this tired brain.

Time to go throw water at the teen. (figuratively at this stage)

Morning all, thanks for the new thread (and the old one of course) sc 💐

Cagletini woke up at half six which is early for her. I didn’t even bother putting her in bed last night, just had her in a vest and lay down with her sans duvet, I was too tired to try and make her sleep alone! 🙄

DH is already doing home ed with the Caglets, DD is going to a friend’s for a bit later and DSD is coming over. DH has a brief work meeting and there’s TKD later. Not sure what practical stuff we will be doing.

And congrats for making it to 1,000 posts on the other thread!

I liked your last hurrah Zoo!

[Glugs ice water with mint and cucumber gratefully]

To catch up with both threads ...

Toostressy thank you so much for offering to run July thread; you are a total !

Cag hope you are not waking up too achey today

Nor your Hills; and blister sounds ouch.

"... one of those houses where you start a job and find 101 things that need to be done before the actual job" - oh yes - all too familiar with those sort of houses I'm afraid - very best of luck with it all! And it will be nice to have this phase over for the holidays!

Good on you for your list last night Beepbeep; you sound very on top of things!

Good luck at the doctor today Zoo! I can see you have already been hard at the choring ! What's your dd2 going to be cooking today at school?

Congrats on a fab list yesterday Foxes and risotto sounds delicious!

Going to be super hot today remember to hydrate!

Indeed Hills

Forgot to wish I've best of luck with cleaning bootcamp today!
Wishing you power to your elbow [packs up bacon sandwiches, energy bars, energy boosting blueberries, lucozade drinks]

I'm back, thanks for the namecheck despite me vanishing for the whole previous thread SC

I had been on a bit of a roll with housework, organisation etc, then we had a bereavement last week and everything has gone pear-shaped. Trying to keep everything going as normally as possible but it's been hard and will continue to be for some time I think. This week one DC has activities week, so lots of outings, the other has sports day, canoeing and a drama production, so lots of extra checking letters, finding suncream, water bottles etc.

I did do quite a bit of decluttering a couple of weeks ago though, tip run, lots of garden waste, charity shop run plus got rid of a small storage unit clutter magnet without which the kitchen looks much bigger.

Cleaning bootcamp......hmmm does eating crisp butties for breakfast count?

Hills our school sent an email the other week about hot weather reassuring us that they provide the children with plenty of water throughout the day. Its just me who needs to remember to hydrate I think. Probably why I felt boiling hot last night.

ta da

Whoknows lovely to "see" you as ever. I am so very sorry to hear about your family bereavement. Do take it steady as these things tend to knock us for six rather Wishing you strength for all the end of term activities.

Firehousedog I think I forgot to drink enough yesterday too. Felt iffy in the evening as a result.
