    Hmm not posting thread list as would be too demoralised so the done list instead:

    been to work 7.30am - 7pm
    decluttered and wiped kitchen worksurfaces
    HHI
    put clothes away
    emptied in tray of 3 items
    done letter to passport people
    called sis and arranged to cook her dinner tomorrow
    dried up and put away pans etc
    done my BS agm vote
    got out all the work I brought home to do


    to do before bed:
    put all the work I got out away without doing it as too tired now
    shower
    dry hair
    tidy other papers up
    put lilies in compost before they drop pollen stained petals on the carpet
    find rinstead pastilles (another mouth ulcer sufferer here) these are worth giving a try LW
    stop being down on myself and realise I've done not an insignificant amount today

    have a good day tomorrow everyone.

    Get well vibes for all the poorlie pets

    We got an allotment, we got an allotment - no idea where to begin with it other than clearing the weeds - thats been my flying for the day

    Warm Front man came and paid us a visit - we can get £3500 towards a new boiler and other bits but it invloves moving the new boiler to the kitchen [loosing a cupboard] and taking up the laminate flooring on the landing and in our bedroom - gulp - DH is very good at art and all nature things but I'm dreading him doing this - not his cup of tea at all, best get me boiler suit out.
    Plumber came and fixed leaky rad - PTFE - amazing stuff - could of done it myself if I'd of known that that was all he was gonna do - still its fixed now.

    Tomorrow I will catch up on the list as we're down the allotment later on - did I mention we have an allotment - hehe

I've stripped the bed this morning so I'm hoping that will be finished so I can get it on the line before I go tio the hospital - it will probably rain though if I manage to do that!

    Haope everybody has a good day

    Hugs
