    I don't seem to have actually got anything done but i am multi-tasking and trying to do too many things at once so not sure I can actually cross anything off the list yet as I have emptied dishwasher and refiulled but not put away. i am giving the litter try a proper clean out so it is soaking at the moment so not actually changed. I have stripped our and the twins beds but the little man is asleep in his and I can't remake the beds as the fresh covers are in his room too. I have started decluttering the table but not finished.
    I also have no idea why I am ranting about my unfinished jobs rather than actually finishing them so on that note ...

    Hi back from car boot, made £50 profit so all good.

    Before I left I put a wash on, emptied and refilled dishwasher, plonked beef in slowcooker, found more stuff to take with us to boot.

    I am now officially knackered and am having a nap.
