seafarers wife Hugs for you. I hope your back has settled down soon. I do understand how you feel.
My good news is that I heard today I have an appointment at the pain clinic for January! It is with the 'main man', I hope, so maybe we can sort my meds. I have tramadol too but keep it for when it doesn't matter if I am a zombie as I am in so much pain I don't care:D

Welcome jenagain and vouchersrme

Today I started on our bedroom, stripped the bedding and it is spinning as I type. Also sanded the rust off the radiator next to the loo in the boys bathroom. Yuk! I have bought some radiator paint so will give it a coat later.

I need to find yesterday's list and try to finish what I started.

hollyh I will join you in a HHC!

I want to get my hall floor cleared - there is a pile of washing that needs sorting for different loads, and Daisy decided to empty her nice, clean, ironed clothes onto the hall floor this morning so she could choose what she wanted to wear. Now the clean stuff is muddled up with the dirty so I need to salavge what I can!

The shoe baskets by the front door seem to have toys in too so I will get them put away and clear a hotspot - we have DD's old crib standing upright in our hallway as it never made it out of the door to the tip (lucky really as we need it again now!) - the top of it is used as a dumping ground though and I never seem to get round to clearing it til it all falls off :rotfl:

Hellyboo

Kitchen and LR S&S'd and floors done - house now smells like a swimming pool and is giving me a headache so I'm off to pick up DS from school and see how many accidents he's had....

I got everything i wanted to do in the hall done in 15mins! So I hoovered too, and then went and unloaded/reloaded the dishwasher, put some pasta on to cook for lunch, and cleared out the fridge ready for my Tesco delivery tomorrow.

Now going to sit down with a cup of tea before I pick DD up at 12.30. Can't believe how much progress I've made, all things I've been putting off doing for ages!
