    HHC x 2 progress. I also had a row with the medical insurance company on the phone about unpaid invoices relating to my hand operation. The list for Monday isn't looking too bad and I'm going to crack on for another HH before grabbing some lunch. DS2's lunch to be precise because he forgot to take it to school today!

    Kitchen nearly all done here, car nearly emptied, washing basket filled up again and all animals checked and fed.

    HV has now cancelled appointment for today, i'm sorta glad i'll have no running about to do. GP rang and then CPN rang straight after, so he'll be out at 2pm. Feeling more positive now about things. :D
    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.

    Not much being done this morning as Im a little sore after I fell over on our walk with the dog yesterday.

    Oh dear! I hope it's not too bad, and feeling better soon :)

    So far I have done 2 loads in WM (1 on line, 2nd about to go out), walked the dog, done some shredding (nearly done :T just waiting for the shredder to cool down!), wiped down in the kitchen, cleared the table & restacked the DW (about to start that now). I have verbally booked the car in for Friday for it's 1st MoT & a service (I will check he has written it down when I pass the garage later).
    I am off to hang out the washing, make lunch & carry on with the kitchen. I may leave the vacuuming 'til after the boys have gone home :D
