Thanks Valli for posting the link to the spoons theory I forget some people don't know what it is unfortuanatly for some of us it's part of our lives but it is such a good explanation of how we have to cope with each day.

I had a good Flying day today (well, just realised it's yesterday!). I did my HHC, 15mins in kitchen, 15 in lounge, then sorted out a load of old receipts etc and tore all the addresses etc off (don't have a shredder). Then another HHC in the spare bedroom. Did 3 loads of washing, including a heavy double size patchwork quilt (which I made in the 60s and 70s from dressmaking scraps when I used to make all our clothes) and got it all on the line, then made a loaf in the BM......etc etc etc.
Between jobs went to hospital to visit DH, but didn't stay long today, as he was quite sleepy.
So busy that I didn't have time to come on here!
Went out this evening for a while, and was impressed with my nice tidy house when I came home (still not perfect, but pretty good).
Have a good week everyone.Keeping two cats and myself on a small budget, and enjoying life while we're at it!0 -

Didn't get anything done last night as I called in at my friend's house after Beavers then I pretty much went straight to bed. AF has arrived which means she'll decide to visit again while I'm on holiday.:mad:
So far this morning I've put a wash on and now I'd better wash the dishes from last night.
Have a good day all
Hugs
