    funfairprincess well done with the debts - must be a good feeling.
    polly hope the physio helps DS and DD's split from partner is amicable - all these things are bound to make you worried/on edge - its only natural for a caring Mum.

    I have now got my tea organised - I have put mince etc in the slow cooker - had some carrots that needed using so thats done and all the peelings are out to the garden bin - the fat that was drained off has been mixed with nuts and seeds and is out for the birds. Just having a wee rest - found it quite tiring being on my feet for a whole hour.
    The kitchen needs a good clean before I put everything back so will try to do it in sections so I dont get totall overwhelmed

    Back from toddlers where many flapjacks were decluttered with coffee...DD2 washed her hands about 5 times...unfortunately they keep one of those things on the toilet door that stops it closing properly but that means she can get in and wash her hands which ends up with soaking sleeves and a wet floor! Oh well...she enjoyed herself anyway.

    Beans on toast decluttered, kitchen and hall floor swept (already mopped both on Monday).

    Now need to get on with today's list and also phone the dentist and make an appointment and call tax credits too.

    Hugs ((((Pollybear))))

    Take it easy Toots...don't go overdoing it now.

    Great news about your debts FFP!:j

    Have also sorted out a kitchen drawer and I have a stack on girls bibs that I don't want anymore. They have been through the wash a fair few times but are all clean and unstained so if anyone wants them let me know. Probably best to PM me if you do as I've got a busy few days so may not have chance to read every post.

    Off to make my phone calls.

    Hi all,

    feeling pre-menstrual and just want to eat cheese and onion crisps and kids uneaten Easter eggs!! Can't be bothered to do any sort of cleaning - what does everyone else do when they have these sort of days?!!
