emptied and cleaned bins (and DH took rusbbish and recycling to tip), done all my dailies, painted with DS (and cleaned up afterward!), showered, filled WM with nappies (DS is productive today lol), mopped porches, kitchen and downstairs loo, and put away DH's dry washing from last night.

Thanks Rosepink for the donating glasses idea and update on Hope Springs! Hope you are feeling better soon.
Took a half day off tomorrow so can crack on with the bedroom then.
Can't remember who mentioned shingles, but I remember my sister had it one year over Christmas, and I used to sing Shingle Bells to her for a laugh - I know I am a bad sister, ha!0 -

Just finished an unintentional HHC and got my washing hung out (was chucking down this morn but has dried up nicely now), got my loaf in the SC at last and have even re-fed my Christmas pud with alcohol and put it back in its dark place. Wishing I was the Christmas pud right now - anyone wishing to feed me with alcohol and put me in a dark place is more than welcome :rotfl:Emma :dance:
