    I didn't really have to do the pans cupboard cos mine live in drawers which are kept clean on an "as used" basis, and the plastic box cupboard is regularly cleaned out as I hate raking for missing lids.:D All in all not too bad a day cleaning wise.

    My Iritis is back again though, so I'm back to specs for a bit while I am putting drops in every 2 hours. Just means I'm stuck in the house as I have a quite high lens prescription and find the lack of peripheral vision I get with specs very distracting and I can't drive without my contacts in. Looks like I'll be doing more cleaning tomorrow then!


    It's only a game

    No problem can withstand the assault of sustained thought.
    Only after the last tree has been cut down. Only after the last fish has been caught. Only after the last river has been poisoned. Only then will you realize that money cannot be eaten.

    ok, so not everything done but not a bad start, and started on tomorrow as at work all day and evening then will need my bed. Thankfully DS isn't back at school until next monday and he's off to my mums for the next 3 days so at least the toys will stay where i put them.

    OH is off with baby for this week so imagine he will manage to do naff all except entertain her for 3 days.

    Am so glad am only going back to work 4 days, although squeezing 5 days hours into these 4 days, but will give me fridays to get stuff done and am hoping not to have to spend the whole of the weekend sorting out from the week.

    Really don't want to leave my baby to go back to work but needs must, hope the patients won't mind me blubbering over them all day.

    Must do paperwork tomorrow... I've lost a taxi receipt for expenses. And I need to call the cab company I use regularly about some replacement receipts (receipts I have don't match the credit card transaction :cool:) they owe me and promised before christmas... Also need to cancel thursday's blood tests and book a GP appointment.

    Suppose I should find my list and go to bed...

    Could also do with washing my mattress topper and the small bit of the duvet (the big bit will have to go to the laundry, so need to wait until I've got my winter duvet back from the flat, had it washed and then can sort this one out). I've just thought of another reason why I miss having a man around... turning the mattress!
