    HHC turned into nearly an hour, just managed to wash hands and make a coffee though

    Blimey did I do a lot :A
    Out of utility room came 3 bin bags of cardboard/egg boxes
    1 bin bag of plastic bottles
    Bag of tins
    LOTS of TD fluff :rolleyes:
    LOTS of mould
    Several Spiders :eek:
    Box of electrical stuff decluttered to under my bed

    I swept and mopped, rearranged things, put the box of decs in the garage...

    Unfortunately discovered while in the garage that my nice smart tandem pushchair that I was planning to sell has gone VERY mouldy - not sure what to do about that - happened to others and even after removing the covers and washing they weren't great (and are still in pieces in the garage :rolleyes:)

    Also seem to have shrunk a few items of clothing in the last wash (sure this top wasn't 3/4 sleeve before?) which never ususally happens, perhaps I put them in too long...

    List now looks like
    Tuesday ~ Hall, Cloakroom and Utility Room!
    Level One
    Done
    Level Two
    Scrub front door.. inside and out!
    [STRIKE]Wash any curtains/draught excluders and doormats![/STRIKE] Don't really have any, but did wash the recycling bags so will count that :rolleyes:
    Level Three
    Done

    My list

    [STRIKE]Cook/freeze spare chicken breasts
    Pack boys' overnight stuff (still not done this)
    Xmas decs box into garage (it got as far as the utility room
    Pay tax bill[/STRIKE]
    Washing in WM
    Fold all yesterdays washing and put away
    June Grocery Challenge £493.33/£500 July £/£500
    2 adults, 3 teens
    Progress is easier to acheive than perfection.

    Going to be lying low for a while but still doing the lists - my depression is bad, I feel isolated - I could go on but I'd bore you to tears. Love to all x

    We have so many poorlies on here so here is a hug for you all

    Diva - sorry to hear about Tristan and Michelle, hope they are getting better,
    Mumof2 - keep posting, we want to know you are ok
    MrsM - hope baby is better soon, I go with the others , phone HV or Doc
    cyclingyorkie - did your lunch time go ok

    Kazw - you are lovely - I've sent you a PM, thank you honey, you brightened my day

    I have done tea for tonight, WM x 1 and not much else as DS is off today - he's ok ish, something isn't right about him and hasn't been since December, its like he's foghting off a bug of some sort but it either won't go away or its lurking and nibbling away at his energy, so he's got a day off today as he had a bad nght last night, he's eating lunch and chilling with the TV but it means I'm not getting much done but to be totally honest I'm not too bothered as I can catch up on Thursday and Friday

    Hugs and happy thoughts for you all

  • No flying here yet this week.

    Didn't get in from work til much later than expected last night and i'm at college tonight straight after work.

    Hopefully I will get time whilst dinner is cooking (hopefully DH will help) so I can do yesterdays and todays tasks.

    I am now keen to do it daily though as my weekend was a much happier place to be with not much to do cleaning/tidying wise!
    It's nice to be nutty but's more important to be nice
