Thanks Dancemum, Mrs_B and Toots – I know I’m asking a lot I just feel a bit useless because I have yet again done nothing all week! I know which ones will get left undone – the ones I’ve been putting off for months. I’m going to push myself to see how much I can get done just to cheer myself up a bit really. Green things planned for tonight.

Definately time for a cuppa!

Much love to all!!!
Thanks,

Cleared mega pile of dross in bedroom. The deepest layer contained my Xmas lunch cooking plan, so 3-month pile now filed/ binned / listed for action.

I'm 2-wks into this & my house really is improved. I reckon the key is to close eyes tightly to the remaining ghastly mess & concentrate on the progress. And next week the mess will get another bit smaller!

Have a great weekend everyone.

Anyone planning on doing any HHCs in the foreseeables?

I need to desuit and boot and hopefully rush out for Poo Patrol before it's too dark, but then have an hour or so of useful time to use before my dinner is fit to eat.

Off to find suitable clothing (which may even involve shoes as I intend to walk the mud bath that is "the lawn"???)
