My aim is to wash up the dinner things, put away the laundry that has dried and change my bedding/put it in the wash - all before Eastenders starts at 8pm.

look! all done with 5 minutes to spare. I think posting my list certainly motivated me to get it done and it feels really good. Thanks thread buddies! :T

Ouch - Nurse told DH to alternate between hot and cold but not to strap it up?? Painful is an understatement, hope it heals quickly

Thank you it's only a little swollen so I'm hoping it will have gone down tomorrow so I can get on with house stuff!

I have just decluttered the 'room of doom' ie the utility room!! Am going to have a cuppa now and a nice shower. Rest of house looks like a bomb hit it but tomorrow's another day!! ColleenPamela, sorry to hear about the ankle, hope it's better tomorrow.

I'm feeling rather proud of myself - I polished & hoovered the my bedroom, polished the dining table & chairs & hoovered underneath, washed all pots and hoovered kitchen floor and lastly hoovered living room. Hoover has now gone to bed for a rest!!

Hi everyone. Iv just sat down after cleaning the kitchen,livingroom ,hall and now wm on. Been out today to get daughter a hamster,you would think the cats bring in enough rodents,lol. Its a gift as she got such an excellent end of year report. He is a long black haired ball of fluff. Really cute .
Oh has gone with the outlaws to his brothers. His brothers wife has ended the marriage so they have gone to offer support. Oh asked me if we are okay its unsettled him. Told him Id have run off by now if I was going to. Mind you he ate my maltesers that may put him on a rocky road,lol.
Poor dog has now hurt his paw so I had to clean it. Oh and son had to hold him. He is on antibiotics anyway so hopefully that will stave off any infection.
Pamela sorry to hear about your poor foot. Try to rest it on a cushion. To whoever got sunburn,use distilled witch hazel it great for cooling the skin down.
Im off to browse the web till oh comes home.

Morning all! Horrible and overcast here - hope it brightens up a bit later.

Got another 2 loads dried yesterday and ironed last night - all aired now so it can all be put away and we will come back to a sort of tidy living room! It can be tidies, dusted and hoovered tonight. DH has emptied the DW, off to a good start!

Might make an effort to get some more crochet done thievening, I'm currently working my way through the patterns to see what the charity likes best - but the things are soooo tiny.....:(

Should be a quiet day in work today, hope that doesn't get too boring - it's just me and the boss this week!

Hope everyone has a good day today, and you have brighter weather than us!

Try tepid or cool baths with vinegar in them. It really takes the fire out and prevents blistering. It's a trick I learned on many trips to the Middle East and it really works.
