    Well I dipped in slightly today. Ended up doing more instructing of DS as I am in a bad way today.
    I cleared the kitchen surfaces (as best as I can,) cleaned the table and freezer top.
    Washed the sink.
    Wiped the top of the cooker.
    Didnt get to see daylight with the table in the Dining(sorry DS/s room).
    I did try to clear up the crumbs from the cake that DGD left around the front room. But my hoover has given up the ghost.ITs making the noises but its not sucking up. and no the pipes etc are not blocked and there is a brand new bag in it?
    DS managed to do two loads of washing, and I have managed to hang a third up in the utlility, (one armed) on hangers. They will dry overnight.
    We have a small backlog of washing to do, as DS/s stuff was finally returned to him after sevearal months in captivity!.(The clothes not him).
    Perhaps I will have a better day tomorrow.
    But it will be later in the day, as I am having my hair washed and blowdried by a trainee at the hairdressers in Town, An excuse to have some me time, as DGD will be in Nursery.
    I will try and do more of the Flying tomorrow.
    When I die I will know that I have lived, loved, mattered and made a difference, even if in a small way.

    I'm like sherlock holmes, me...

    like the day I was spotted at work and it got on here...

    and I spend 15 mins max in the playground but I still got spotted - and I was under a brolly drinking coffee. DS should think himself lucky :rotfl:

    Whenever we go 'over the border' I always tell my kids SOMEONE I know will see us so they had better behave:rotfl:Bet i get spotted up East Yorkshire, too!
    Mind you I went to eurodisney and saw someone I knew who lives in Valliland! And in Benidorm I stood, on a crossing, next to the mother of one of DDs schoolfriends!

    Bath done, kids all watching a movie in DD's room. Rhys now back to bed and hubby awake (rolly eyes), he'll never sleep tonight. :mad:

    Frodders congrats on 5000 posts.

    Right time for bed, night all.
    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.
    :j :j
  • Thank you all for your support today, its really surprising how much ive actually got done. The kitchen is sparkling it hasnt looked so lovely since the day I moved in!!! Still got the washing to tackle so i am praying for a dry day so I can get it on the washing line.

    Looking forward to tomorrow im already feeling very motivated as I know I can do this.

    Once again thank you

    Gnight see you all tomorrow x
