    Swept and mopped the kitchen and bathroom floors which are now drying and I am resting after zooming through the rest of the kitchen list before I mopped in there

    I feel very tired today for some strange reason so instead of pottering in the garden I will concot a list for tomorrow and crack on with some studying this afternoon. Can't think why I feel a bit wiped out. Hopefully just an off day as don't want to feel like this for the next 10 days!

    Haven't caught up with the thread but hope everyone is enjoying the weather.

    No, I'm not :o. Its been raining all day today and I'm very cold...wrapped in a blanket rather than stick the heating on.

    Thanks to whoever it was that posted the link the Tesco Price Checker. I have got 36p back :D Was it kazwookie?

    I am headachey, so have taken some parrots and will have a lie down. Then I need to make food for tomorrow.

    Hair washed.. Squeak asleep for a bit after her very tiring bath .. typical when we have stuff planned that means leaving the house! Good job it is nothing too important!

    Have Tiddles bedding to hang out so Moomins bedding can be washed

    3 buckets of recycling taken out of the bathroom!! And filled a wash basket from in there :(

    My house is a skip and it is rather depressing! :(

    Aww pigpen I have felt like this about my house for such a long time hunny x This is my list of things that are very wrong in my house:
    Badly bowed ceilings
    Cracks in our walls that are getting bigger by the week
    Holes, damp and slugs everywhere!
    Dangerous electrics
    Asbestos pipe outside
    Big tub under boiler to catch the water
    Faulty plugs and light switches that we can't use so have to arrange electrics in a certain way to be able to use the plugs that do work
    Massive post in the middle of our living room that holds two RSJ's up that join in the middle to hold our upstairs up!
    One of our living rooms has half of the plaster board from the ceiling above, on the floor!
    Ripped up lino from when dog was a pup and chewed it - need to find money as yet to replace it
    There is more but it just goes on and on and that's without the actual mess of the place but at least that is something I can take control of :) Honestly I really know how you feel - it's the reason that I have no energy to just get on with it because it depresses me soooo much. Ironically when I do get on with it like today I feel sooo much better for it :D
    Off to cook again then I'll continue with my stop-start of the kitchen - I am determined to get it done by the end of the night,lol! (I will stop to watch Britain's Got Talent with my youngest :) )
