And school clothing payments.. it almost covers a pair of shoes per child! And reduced cost bus passes if the children are not eligible for free ones for school.

Well, day three and I can truthfully say that I haven't done much (but then I am out at work all day, to be fair).

Still, the sitting room is hoovered; the kitchen sink is cleared and the tops wiped down; I picked up the (admittedly not huge) floordrobe and put a load of washing on, plus decluttered a bag of stuff. AND I did a huge pile of ironing, even identifying a couple of bits to be mended.

So I've identified them. I'm not saying they've been mended yet

This probably sounds like peanuts, but it's a start. I'm quite pleased.

Hugs to all those who need them - sorry to read such sad stories of various OHs not doing their bit :grouphug:
