    I'm so frustrated - I seem to have used up all my spoons yesterday, I feel awful again so I shall have to pace myself. Luckily the living rrom just needs a quick vacuum and dust after the bottoming I gave it last week. Hopefully I'll feel a bit better later.

    Morning everyone. Its the second day of my holidays and I don't seem to have achieved a lot - the kitchen is like a bomb has hit it and the rest of the house isn't much better. I need help!
    We don't need to do it perfectly - good enough is exactly that GOOD ENOUGH.

    my HHi turned into an hour - interspersed with hanging out washing, loading the machine again and making DD1 breakfast.

    Still ironing, but off to wake DD2 up - much studying to be done and she is getting behind......

    DW emptied and re-loaded, a few bits and pieces in the kitchen put away, cat's dish washed, chicken stock on (chicken noodle soup for tea, I think :D maybe even with ginger, spring onions and chili :D:D)

    Next HHC will be my bath.

    For the rest of the day:
    Local market with DS2 (walking distance)
    homework with DS2
    LR list
    school work
    laundry (must get the last lot dry, so DH can iron it all tonight ;))

    I'd really like to know what those dark clouds are doing outside again. It's NOT supposed to rain today. The met office says so! :p

    Hi vivw! :wave: Nice to 'see' you.

    Dishes done and tidied away, downstairs loo cleaned and paintwork/door wiped down, washing on. Doesn't sound much, but it looks good! Another one at ten for me, just going to prise DS1 out of bed!

    Re DS's wrist - the really strange thing is the bone was broken whilst he was playing in goal - a ball hit his hand and pushed it backwards - 8 years ago the same thing happened to DD1 - same injury - scafoid bone in the right wrist, exactly the same cause of injury - football hitting right hand, she also went to casualty on the 1st monday of the Easter holidays.........

    scary....

    Easter holidays and broken bones gives me the eeeeby jeeeeeeeebies

    ShellySue hoping your Dad's op goes well

    Late start as DS1 woke me up in the night not feeling well, need to look into this as it is starting to happen too frequently.

    Going to have a cuppa and do a HHC to get the kitchen finished and put the wm on.

    I'll think about the rest of the day after that, need to find my list.
