    Morning All,

    I am hoping todays list will be easy for me as I am living in relative cleanliness and tidiness in these areas, this week. I washed down all the woodwork on Saturday, and the boys vacuumed yesterday so it shouldn't take long at all. Which means I can finish off Monday's jobs :o

    HHC at 8.30 anyone?

    Have two tired and a bit thinner children loafing on sofa - ended up with dh on sofa bed last night while ds was poopy and dd was sick - thought we'd try to keep one person clean and healthy (especially since he's at work today and doesn't get paid if he's off sick, whereas I am on 'holiday')

    Am feeling much better myself so am doing half hour stints of school work, house work, resting, playing with kids and stitching. Will work my way around the lists and see how things go - am not going to overdo it though as queen is not planning to call anytime soon!

  • Im still here just dont post as much. Trying to keep off the laptop otherwise nothing gets done. The kids break up from school on Thursday and KH is coming to collect them on Friday for a week but I need to get my house clean before he gets here (hes a clean freak and I think ive rebelled since leaving him lol). y mission is to get the house surface tidy then whilst the kids are away I should be able to give it a good thorough deep clean.

    Hugs, spoons and sticks to all

    Thanks embb - it's slightly different on mine but I've found it.

    In my HHC I've

    Emptied WM and hung clothes on line
    Reloaded WM
    Cleared drainer
    Filled fruit bowl which I washed yesterday
    Washed dog's bowls
    Cleaned sink
    Watered plants

    So I'm going to find the list to see what little bits I've managed to cross off in the last 2 days - probably not a lot!
