I always have a bath and then read in bed. I'm considering whisky (not really )

Hugs and a bit kick to get you moving. Nobody likes mopping floors, we all hate that job, especially when it is covered in pawprints before it is even dry. How long is it going to take you? You don't feel good sitting there not doing it so go get it done anyhow:D

Its ok the first time in a day...its the 2nd,3rd fourth and 5th times it really gets demoralising!

I HATE this weather for floors.

Wise words. There is also the viewpoint that digging around in old stuff can do more harm than good and that if the dust has settled maybe it best left lying and not stirred up to make everybody wheeeeeezy

Can of worms is always there and we can choose whether to open it?

OK, I'll go and start that washing up!

Me too. And I still have a problem, although I suspect it is too much caffeine in my case .

I have emptied and scrubbed out the fridge. Just letting it defrost before I put it back on again. Joining you at 4 Pigpen

I have vague memories of several people being fans of the 'Organised Mum' diaries - I have just seen on grabbit that the sale started today - the family life diary is £6.50 delivered. I may have to crack and get one, and then join stationery sniffers anonymous. Thread is here

HHi guys, just back in from work and am shattered, not being well over the last 2 weeks caught up with me today, well that and the stoopid 5 bedroomed football field sized roomed house that I had to clean top to bottom after the first house this morning, I'm sure she thinks I'm blooming super woman, she's lucky she's lovely and I like her So,although I'm grateful that it's the bathroom today body says no (pulled weak stomach & back muscles with daft hoover) will have to pass, will hobble around doing bits and pieces.

Hi all
Hope everyone is OK? Sending loads of hugs and spoons as required - thread is getting away from me at the moment.

Another productive day...I spent an hour in DDs room of doom clearing the floor and chucking stuff - was supposed to be 15 mins a day, but I was on a bit of a roll. It looks much better.

I've also sorted through the piles of [STRIKE]junk[/STRIKE] treasure that resides next to my desk and reduced it down to one box (yet to be sorted) and a wicker basket-type thing full of my work stuff. Loads of papers for the shredder, too.

Then I thought I'd check the lists...I did say I was off-list for the foreseeable, but thought I'd have a look anyway. It seems that I've been broadly following them...if it's gone, then I've done it:

And I managed to get some baking done too!

Planning to have a reasonably easy evening, although I've got to finish looking at my talk for tomorrow evening and I suspect DS will stay awake late tonight (late nap...). But I will have another look at the skirt I'm making!

Right...that's made me feel much, much better. Jan 12 is not a good day for us.

Take care all
