    I've finished early cos I'm too tired to do anymore.

    In my HHC, I: decluttered LR floor and one armchair and the sofa. Doesn't sound much I know, but there was a lot of mess on those places so it's a big improvement. Have also made the bed, and the WM has just finished so I'll go and hang that out in a minute.

    Just going to have a sit down for a minute first

    Morning all

    Slow start as DS3 not great due to his hayfever I think - note to self if you have a child with a tree pollen allergy it is not a smart move to take them to a bluebell wood and let them climb the trees.

    I have:

    Stripped DS2 bed
    loaded WM
    putaway yesterdays laundry
    been to the pond to get tadpole water

    Need to do a couple of things on here and then a HHC in the kitchen.

    I've got an exam to invigilate this afternoon and DS2 has a cricket match so not much will be done after 1pm
