    I'm hoping to do some of this, so that no one is too disgusted by the state of the house tomorrow! The kitchen floor needs doing but I can't see myself managing it. Overdid things this evening and had to lie down again when in should have been getting ready for bed. And all this bed rest is causing me problems when I stand up or go upstairs (according to my dad it's postural hypotension and I have to put up with it). I guess I just have to keep reminding myself that it's better to be dealing with this now than having worse problems from avoiding the issue.

    Houmus and baba ganoush made. Sitting room mostly tidy, online sop put away, DW on, muesli mix made, work surfaces tidied and wiped. Kitchen table half cleared.

    Need to get up early to start lamb off in the SC and clean the loo. Then breakfast in bed, followed by making cake, tabbouleh, salad, brown bean dip and dealing with some fruit. Oh... And finishing off clearing the kitchen table and cleaning the dead insects off the window sill as we'll probably have to eat inside unless there is a dramatic change in the weather! If I get up early, hopefully I can pace myself and mostly sit down while people are here.

    Morning All

    Well done Kaz!

    Greenbee - your guests won't have been expecting you to do all that when you're supposed to be recuperating - you need to get some rest and not try and do so much.

    Not sure what the plan of action is today yet but we've got to go shopping at some point as I need something else for my dad's birthday and DH needs to get an anniversary card.

    Have a good day all

    Hugs
