    Wipe the work surfaces

    Failed miserably the first morning:(

    Don't seem to have stopped but got nowhere.

    Collect prescription
    Pay friends rent
    Ring elderly friend
    Book appointment drs for medicine review
    Pay cash into the bank
    Photocopy for MIL
    Photocopy for neighbour
    Sort laundry
    Two loads of washing wash dried and put away

    Don't beat yourself up - you've done loads!

    I have done loads today-none of it on the list! Such things as booking appts for DD1, helping her ring the Citizens Advice people (ringing her back this week), posting a parcel for her, going to work, doing lunch for 4 people, getting horrible antibiotics into DD2 (a hard job and she is really suffering!)

    I have also started the ironing....... which will take weeks to finish!

    What we say here is don't panic - your house took a while to get in a state - so you won't be able to srt it in a morning!

    take a deep breath and tackle it bit by bit!

    And we're here ....and we don't bite - honest!

    I'm back - it went very well and I had a nice time afterwards with all the family - feeling shattered now though. Going to pick the kids up in a min and then I think I might chill for a bit.

    Thanks for all the kind thoughts
