Had another good day today - school run, helped at church, got back and did all my dailies, shone my sink and cleared all the worktops (even moved stuff so did it thoroughly!), helped at school, did all my ironing, did tea and mopped the kitchen floor. Everything is tidy in the kitchen and it looks so much better.
Felt really down last night and the dark feeling was with me this morning, but slowly it lifted and I'm feeling much better again now. I've had a lovely evening just sat knitting more of DD's cardigan whilst watching NCIS!
See the bathroom's come around for tomorrow; should be fine. I've already done some bits from level 2 but am only doing level 1 tomorrow. Up to school for a numeracy meeting first thing whilst DS at pre-school, so then will do what I can for the rest of the morning before collecting His Highness!
