    Awwww, bless! I'm not really a cat person but Ninja Kitty is a real sweetie.:o

    I didn't put the stick-to-the-sides-of-the-loo limescale buster round the loo yesterday as Mr LW was wfh, and it'd be flushed away in no time, so left it to do today.

    I've also tidied the cupboard under the sink, as some of the stuff was slightly out of it's proper position, and that annoys me as I need to be able to put my hand on the item I want without bending to look in the cupboard. Gave me chance to do a quick stock-take and see if we need any supplies, too.;) Kaz - please can I have this task instead of cleaning the kitchen windows? They really don't need doing, and I'm simply not safe on the step stool at present.:o

    Mumto5 aw ((((((hugs))))))))

    I don't know anything about whats going on for you re DS but I know that people can
    make their own decisions. You can't feel blame yourself for it no matter what it is.
    You have other children and have to do what is best. Sometimes you have to let kids learn from
    their own mistakes or they wont learn. Stay positive, go for a long walk or something you enjoy.

    Bathroom cleaned and gleaming. Mum's been. Decluttered box of soft toys for her to take to the shoebox place (where they invited her to volunteer, once, when she went to drop some handknitted scarves and hats and she still goes and it's all year round) but being an Aged P she has forgotten them. *sigh*. I also dissuaded her from taking my handbag instead of hers - knew she would - it was on the table next to her. (She once took my purse (and hers) as she saw mine and popped it into her bag. Was the 'same' purse to be fair - but it wasn't until the windowcleaners came for their money that I realised. How stupid did I feel telling them I couldn't pay because my mum had got my purse). Thanks to a 'dipper' at Morrisons we no longer have the same purse. Handbag is nothing like hers though! :rotfl:
    Got dentist (DS) and hairdressers (both of them) later so must shift my booty...
