Happy Birthday to MOAM!
Barely fluttered today - just the most urgent stuff, of which there wasn't much. I don't hold out much hope for the weekend, either. With DS's tax return, preparation for internal inspection, report writing and DS1 getting ready for his trip on Monday it's going to be a busy one. I'll try to be around, but don't think I'll achieve much.
I may also have to declutter some money soon for a HPV vaccine for DS1. Just seen a documentary and realised that it's not just an issue for girls, but vaccines for boys aren't available on the NHS. Some more research is in order.

Morning All
You wouldn't believe how much my house has deteriorated this week because I haven't done anything and left the kids to do their own thing. I just haven't felt like it with toothache and my Grandad dying but the devastation's ridiculous and they're 8 & 10 so not babies. Anyway, I've put the WM on this morning - mainly clothes that were just lying about in the LR floor! - and I've done a HHC in the kitchen. Still loads more needs doing - I haven't even hoovered this week and with having the dog that's awful. I've also cooked a load of mince for the dog as it's now out of date because I couldn't be bothered with cooking it! I'm just a waste of time.
Anyway I've made a start this morning and I'll do some more tonight if all goes to plan.
Have a good day all
Hugs

Mrs Chaos please can you show me the link about the boys and HPV link?
JJ my house is just the same when I down tools for a few days. Don't be hard on yourself you have had alot to deal with this week. It took my ages to settle down when my Grandmother passed away. I can still have a wobble now and it's 2 years in April.
Downstairs ironing basket empty. Woo hoo!0
