School work done for tonight - at least the essentials. Quick tidy up in the kitchen, empty bins, check the fridge for anything that needs throwing out and another cuppa before bed. I don't think DS1 did a single thing from the list I left him, so he's risking his spending money for New York, which he's supposed to be earning.

Its hump day so have some me time

Oh dear, not as much crossed off as I previously though. My BF came over yesterday and it was lovely to see her.

DH has worked 2 long days 6am - 8pm but is working from home today. DS3 is still off school with a sore throat and temperature. DS1 has continued to work at my SIL's place - it makes the house much more balanced when his energy is deployed.

We are surprised and please at how much money we are saving with our no alcohol month. DH is taking a long hard look at himself and has decided it is a change for the better. His will power has always been weaker then mine but he has some steel in his voice so I really hope he sticks with it longterm.

I hope everyone has a good day.

Good Morning all, hope you are all well and hugs to all xx

I'm afraid I'm struggling this wek as I didn't realise how much college work I had left to do!!

I am keeping up with the washing and folding things that don't NEED ironing. House looks ok, and I'm afraid that will ave to do till the beginning of Feb when this flipping thing is over!! I am trying to do the dailies as a break from the computer. Oh and I did 10 mins in the RoD yesterday and I am trying to put clothes away when they are dry/ironed.

Hope you all have a good day, catch up soon xx

DD1 and I have both woke up feeling like sh*te. The smell of drugs from next door was sooo strong last night. When DD1's friend came round this morning she said she could still smell it! :eek:
I feel like I've been hit by a bus! Feels like a hang over

Well it's Wednesday the worst day in the week
Today I have to take my dad to club. Then collect my friend, take her to my mums as "we" need to discuss my illness and financial problems Hopefully her husband will be able to fix the catch on my mum's front door as it keeps opening on it's own if the doors not locked.
Then take them home, pick my dad back up, take him shopping, take him home and then I can come home and try to sort my house out :cool:
