    Morning all, yesterdays list caught up on.
    Living room done on sunday so just needs a whizz round, get rid of kids toys, hoover and mop.
    Then gonna do some more upstairs, DS2 simply CANNOT keep his room tidy. It is horrible, cant get acrosss the floor without stepping on something and his bed is virtually buried under his books and various other things he uses/looks at before lights out.
    AARRGGHH!!

    CY Hope DH is ok. Did they keep him in to operate?

    Lil_me hugs for DS hope he has a good day

    Off to finish my dailies before going out to the shops and then aim for later is to dust DS3's room.


    That's the strange thing - he says the whole thing was done under local - so why did they keep him in?

    Mumto5, sorry to hear about your knee, poor you. Can some of the other school mums/neighbours help you out so you can rest it? I bet if you ask people will be happy to help out. It'll never get better if you've still got to go all that way to school.

    Why do I feel so guilty asking for help? I've had alot of help with my broken hand and that is ongoing. It's going to get worse again when I have my operation. It's really hard when I'm used to independence to be so reliant on other people's altruism.:o DS1 isn't at college tomorrow so I will ask him to help but getting him out of bed is like moving a moutain.

    I've been going round the downstairs with 2 bags in my hands one for recycling and one for rubbish there is a pile in the hall for rehoming. WM x 2. one load of TD folded and put away.

    I'll join you Pen pen

    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.

    My son has been having a mega nap this morning so I have scrubbed the kitchen and am very proud of it. All appliances have been done inside and out so just the windowsill to go until my masterpiece/kitchen is finished.
    Too tired to post my list but hopefully it will be tiny by teatime!
