    School run done and DD doing her homework..
    ''Question''
    My daughter is 10 and i still sit with her when she does her homework, does anyone else still do this at that age or am i being to soft and she knows it...

    Boys now messing the livingroom so i'll be getting them to tidy it. Wm on again and td, i must have 40 loads left to do..:(
    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.

    A bare minimum day today although this is more than would have been done before joining. 3 loads wm & 1 td of towels. S&S kitchen & bathroom. Quick go around living room.

    Visit to tescos, returning faulty bag to argos & buying replacement, posting letter & doing euro lottery for DH work sindicate.

    Just cooking tea and then picking my sister up to visit my Mum

    In print seems not such a minimum day afterall :D
