Good morning everyone!
I forgot to mop the floor yesterday. Was supposed to do it before going to work but ended up leaving the house in a rush and completely forgot about it. Oh, well.
I'm off to work again soon so will only have time to do a few bits, will do the rest when I come back. Only started yesterday and I'm finding difficult to do everything already. Hopefully, things will get easier as time passes by and I'll get a bit more used to it.

Start with babysteps hun. There is no point in trying to do the whole list if it is too much. I did just about nothing yesterday and I've been doing this for years.Work on the principle that anything you do is better than nothing.
DS3 has eaten two potato waffles and is on the PS3 so feeling a bit better
DS1 has just learnt that awful lesson that people nag you to back up your work for a reason. Hard one when it is is your A2 coursework, maybe this time the message will get home

Woke up feeling strange today, kind of dizzy and woozy, I don't know why and I hadn't taken any sleeping tablets last night so I'm having an extra slow day today
Dw unloaded and two loads in the WM and TD.
I've been working on some craft things for Christmas this morning and I've finally done some mending :eek: a hoodie, a night dress and a pair of school trousers
I've realised I can't do any wrapping because although I have loads of wrapping paper I don't seem to have any tags! :eek: I ever haven't got any or just haven't found them yet, I'm not sure which lol.
