    Missus - I hope you are safe now (((big hugs))) I agree with the others, esp Slimbrunet re the lessons your son is learning. If only for your son's sake, you need to get out now.
    Today i have put out the bins, hung out some washing & now i am doing my paid job - sitting on a sunny beach watching dd2 (16) entertain Little Miss Sunshine :D
    This is the life!!

    Iron OH's shirts :whistle:

    All done.. bar the ironing :shhh: Also leaving the nets, mats ect until it's a lovely sunny day. OH is off work again tomorrow (sounds like he hardly works from my posts, huh? His work have cut overtime, he's normally working none stop!) so I might give him that to do while I'm out at my second job.

    My Mum is over in a bit, so I'm going to light some yankee tarts and candles to make the place smell gorgeous. Just the matter of picking which ones!
  • Fireplace done. Next is washing and maybe change a bed or two.

    I have done my dailies so far but nothing else. Have got really down about going over food budget...don't know where to start, mainly because I don't have any TIME, it feels like, to put the planning in. So I am sitting here feeling down instead of cleaning. I know it will only make things worse, but I feel yuck. Might go do my loo and sink and see if I can build up a bit of energy. That would be better than going to bed, which would be my normal response!
