    DD1 came home so I got to Mr T. DD2 is getting hotter, her temp is 38.8 now. I've dosed her up with Parrots and Indians but it diesn't seem to be doing any good. She is fast asleep on the sofa in the LR. DS1 is getting better. His appetite has returned with a vengeance and I have a fast emptying fruit bowl.

    High traffic areas hoovered. Bathrooms done. 3xWM.

    I've done all my cleaning this week, not necessarily in the right order.......tomorrow I'll need to vacuum through downstairs again but that won't take long. Rained earlier so I draped the washing round indoors but it's brightened up now so I've put some towels out.

    Afternoon all

    Making good progress in the family room today, most of the cleaning part done, a lot of sorting/paperwork still to do, so will do that next.

    Still have a bit of a sick headache so really not looking forward to open evening tonight.

    Boiler engineer not coming until tomorrow now so going to light the log fire in a minute as it is getting really chilly now.
