    Thank you mumof2, i'm going to try really hard to sit and read for at least two hours, I really want to see what happens in this book, lol.

    I'm back! Lovely long dog walk and I've given the kitchen a good clean and tidy, sorted out the recycling and brushed all the floors downstairs. I'm going to sort out the front room and living room now and then I'll probably stop. Don't want to do too much - it can't be good for me!

    Washing machine is calling - bye for now!

    Folded another TD load and reloaded
    Emptied WM and reloaded
    Changed bunk bed bedding
    Unloaded/reloaded DW
    Bleached downstairs loo and sink (DS3 is very good at getting to the loo before he chucks)
    Bleached main bathroom loo (same as above)
    stripped master bed.

    How did you get on Pen Pen?

    Going to have a cup of tea and read DS3 a story as he is waking up now.

    HI :wave:

    DW done
    Floors done
    Rubbish out

    I have Type 2 diabetes which for now is going to be controlled by diet and tablets, but the odd thing is I feel fine! I do back to dr's next week to see the diabetes nurse, then if all goes to plan in 3 months for more test to see how I am getting on.

    Guess I'll get on with more gentle flying

    Morning/Afternoon! (depending on when I hit 'post')
    Hope everyone's doing well today and thanks for another great list :)
    I'm having a great day today - worked out that OH and I have saved over £300 this month and lost about 7lb each! And now, by the end of the day, I'm going to have an incredibly tidy house :D
    I'm doing ALL of this today, I need to cross off a whole list for a change!
