  • Excellent, I'm pretty much sorted already because the OH was doing overtime the entire weekend so I pretty much cleaned the entire house from top to bottom.

    Mind I am crippled today from all of the bending and stretching but ho-hum.
    It's not easy having a good time. Even smiling makes my face ache.

    Remember dailies and nightime routines

    Okay so far we're all dressed and DD is at school. WM is on. Recycling is outside.

    Not done much so far but it's Monday and I only have 2 hours sleep (if I'm lucky):rolleyes:

    To do:

    Moggins List
    Glaziers coming to put new panel in conservatory
    Ironing
    Hoover through
    Make beds

    We'll see how far I get

    vivw can't give you any answers to how long everything takes as I've only just started myself - however, even after only a week some jobs only take a short amount of time when they used to take hours!:j

    Oh I usually do stick to your routine, it's just that I'm manic depressive and I've been down over the past few weeks so I had a lot to catch up with.
