The bedlam (back)stops here - February Flylady thread for frosty fledglings

[SassitudeandSparkle]

Welcome to the February Flylady thread, we’d love to have you with us as we chat and work our way through our houses in February. Flylady uses the zone method of cleaning so we’ll be focusing on a different area of the house each week – we will post daily links to the Launch Pad on the Flylady website which gives all the details of the current Zone, daily missions and babysteps.

Newbies are always welcome so feel free to join in at any time. Flylady does recommend decluttering your house first, so if you are not ready for the cleaning routines yet it’s fine to focus on the decluttering bit – add the babysteps in if you wish.

Go for it Cag, you totally should submit it.

Been out this morning, need to get on with something other than MNetting as DD has some after-school stuff that require my chauffering skills. The car has developed a slight problem but hopefully that will be easily sorted without the assistance of a dealer.

Will review thread properly at lunch (attempt not to eat any more for an hour or so).

Bugger it Cag! If they laugh (and I doubt they will) it will only be their subjective opinion. You will gain from actually going through the writing process - you always learn something writing to a brief (even if it's your own brief!) and if it's not what they want you can always ask for feedback and know better next time! Nothing ventured, nothing gained and all of that!

Believe it or not, I applied for a job the other day. I have the relevant qualifications but I'm not sure I have the confidence or staminato actually do it! I'm also about to be operated on so timing also terrible! But thought, what the hey, my CV got updated in the process, did my first ever on-line application (yes I'm that old ) and if I'm called for an interview that will be an ordeal experience! In summary: realistically, I haven't really a hope in hell of getting it but not a totally worthless exercise overall ifyswim.

You can do it too I've! You are a multi-tasking ninja

Hope Lil'Zoo feeling better Zoo!

Go you SCapplying for a job!!

Just remember it's Chinese New year and I've not organised anything Chinese to eat or an activity.ooops.tbh doubt lil zoo could eat a stir-fry as they are a bit crunchy
Year of the 🐖

Aw thanks ❤️ I shall try and use some of my regular faffing around online time to actually write the damn thing. I shall of course share here if it gets picked :)

Oooh exciting sc The process sounds worthwhile regardless!

Aaargh at the assignment ive 🤦‍♀️

Holiday booked! Thank you Sun voucher things. Went for a Haven resort we’ve been to before, the familiarity is good for the first holiday with baby as well. It’s late March so not long! But didn’t want to book one for after summer, as the psych assessments are likely to be maybe October November and that will be a bigger trip in itself.

Late march is often lovely weather cag

I have laid on sofa and dozed whilst lil zoo and D's watch iron giant dvd

Think I need either shooting or poking largest pointy stick known to mankind!!

I am so jealous of your dozing

Sorry I've didn't mean to rub your nose in it

Ill forgive you zoo

Anyway ive worked out based on first two assignment scores that if i got a 0 for this one, and same as lowest mark so far for last two assignments i would still pass the module. Im still gonna try but the pressure is off

Phew!!I'vethat must be a relief(and I will try to be more thoughtful of your exhaustion)
I cannot find menu plan for little ones dinner.think it was beefburgers and couscous with tomatoes and cucumber,but suspect lil zoo may not be able to swallow that...
I feel the need for large volume of pasta with lots green veggies and some cheese!!

Zoo dont worry about it i am even jealous of my two year olds sleep

I've you are more forgiving than I would be(spoken as someone struggling to stay awake more than a few hours and gets cranky on days naps aren't an option til after lunch)

Well lil zoo wants cornflakes,well doused in almond milk til soggy(wants something cold and soft and that's about a we have) for dinner with frozen blueberries on top...not my cup of tea but not taxing for me😂

Forgot to add I've I bought a big tub alto mango no added sugar soy yogurt for £1 on my travels.for the life of me I can't remember where but lil zoo loves it.it keeps 5days once opened(400g pot so does 4servings)cheaper than individual pots

God no - soggy cornflakes!

The yogurt sounds good! What is the brand maybe google will show me where from lol

I've

Googled it for you I've £1.50 most places.was Waitrose it's a pound....

Is it smooth zoo dd wont entertain lumps

just lost my whole post!!!

Basically, shortened version cag that article sounds like a great idea, I was going to watch that programme and now I really want to read what you said about it

We have a new dishwasher, dc in bed early, made and ate a load of rice Krispies flapjack which is the best flapjack ever and dd dusted for Chinese New year.

That's the condensed version

Awww cute little fox cub 😍😍😍

Got a few more errands done. So can’t complain. Cagletini has been grumpy as hell the last couple of days. First molar through and another very close I think.

Happy Chinese New Year, I gave the chopsticks their annual airing tonight (DD has a connected pair and I am useless with the bamboo ones) and we had a lovely tea. I bought some Fortune Cookies (I made them myself once, very fiddly) and one of my mottos says

Before the beginning of great brilliance, there must be chaos

I don't think I can top that!

Regular readers may have noticed my fondness for any festival that has food attached to it.

Rice krispie flapjack, Foxes? Sounds good, I was looking at a recipe for granola bars from someone and that was oats and rice krispies basically - any chance of the recipe?

Sleep well fledglings, see you tomorrow.

Night sass

Goodness nearly midnight again. So tired.

Registered for online GP services this evening and ordered a Tesco shop. Lots of convenience food, DH is having his tooth out tomorrow and if it goes anything like mine did will be fit for nothing for a day or two, and I appear to be fit for nothing anyway 😳

Been thinking about more home ed stuff, hasn’t yet translated into action.

But you are making inroads by not procrastinating cag please be kind to yourself!!
I've I shall investigate texture and report back later!
Lil zoo was asleep before 830(unheard-of) going that will mean she's powered up enough to go to school today...
Foxes gorgeous pic.can we have the recipe on thread please

I have couple super ripe bananas so lanning to make raspberry and banana mini muffins for lunch boxes later

The recipe was from a book I'll take a photo of it once I'm up and about!
