    [strike]Sweep floors
    Find clean bath mat for house bathroom and put grubby one in the wash
    Give the sinks and the loos a good clean
    Clean the shower screens[/strike]
    Declutter annexe bathroom

    The house bathroom is all done, it wasn't too bad, but my rubber gloves have perished (shows how much serious cleaning I've done recently...:o) and I'm not tackling the annexe bathroom without full protection :eek::eek: (OH works at a nuclear power station, wonder if I can get him to borrow a protective suit?? :rotfl:)

    Photograph all the rings I want to sell and put them on eBay.

    Going to start this now :D WM has been on, one more load and then the laundry bin is empty, but I've run out of indoor line space and it's been raining all day :(

    Edit to add: I've just seen that the list today includes the study - as I don't have kids and the spare rooms are never used, I think I'm going to make that tomorrow's job, you should see the mess in here!!

    My mother just asked me if I would go round to her house saturday and sunday and help my sister out of bed.. erm.. no.. I don't think so!!!

    me thinks she may have lost the plotto entirely!!

    I don't know whether to laugh at her stupidity or be furious at her lack of interest in how I am..

    I need help to get out of bed I don't see anyone rushing to assist me!!!

    Pigpen, we care! (((big hugs))) & a virtual helping hand x

    thank you :D.. I know you lot do :D

    I just seems so wrong .. what makes it more laughable is yesterday I was saying to her I can't help my other sister move house as I can't do a thing.. if I could I have enough of my own stuff to sort out! it just makes me feel totally used tbh.

    Best go get Quaverface from school anyway before I get told off for being late again lol.. :p (I go late to avoid the other parents as I am antisocial!!)

    No, I saw her once mid march and she came when we had the BBQ at easter other than that I've not seen her since January!! Which is why I am really pee'd off.. She wants me to drop everything for them and doesn't seem to give a toss how I am .. I don't want waiting on or sympathy or molly-coddling but not being asked to do stupid things like lifting my sister out of bed when I can barely walk would be nice.

    She then wanted me to walk to the cafe round the corner for lunch.. then got huffy when I said I can't walk that far! I have just struggled getting Tiddles.. the nearest place to park was about 20 yards from the school gates, I usually get out right outside the gates.. OH has to park right up to the kerb so I can get back in the car!

    I really must get me some painkillers!!
