    Dewebbed staircase
    Wiped paintwork and doors
    Cleaned wardrobe mirrors

  • lil_me I've just replied to your message on the other forum but in case you miss it, thank you so much for the time you've spent researching this for me. I am so grateful, and what a useful website.
    Many many thanks

    Honestly...I've lost 24 hours...don't know what I've done with them. If anyone finds them, please can I have them back?!

    After a particularly toxic visit yesterday, I came back home and CBA to do a thing. My next free day is Friday, so I think I'll be playing catchy-uppy. Oh the joy of it.

    I've spent most of the day with my Dad stripping the living room walls, so haven't actually done any housework at all. But then again, the entire contents of my living room are piled up in the middle...:)

    Hope everyone is well? Sending hugs, spoons, kicks up the bum, etc, where wanted.

    I have made a list of jobs to do around the house. It has 135 things to do !! Some are for DH or DSs to do. Quite a few are sorting jobs for me to do. Now I am feeling a bit panicky about it but the fact that it is all written down and I can start to work through it should be helpful.
