  • DS has seen GP - been given a/b's but told to wait a couple of days before taking them.....

    In truth he only got them because he said DD2 had also had tonsilitis recently...

    So.... do I start him on them now (he's desperate to go back to work) or do I wait?

    DD2 suffered mightily - but the a/b's did clear it up....

  • Good morning all!

    Managed yesterday to do kitchen - surfaces, floor and fronts of units.

    Today - a load of washing in machine right now. Will not change bed as Friday is always my day, but in my bedroom I will:

    Make bed (have done already)
    Clear floor
    Go round with carpet sweeper
    Dust
    Sort out a basket that things get chucked in (and where they take root once they're there!)

    In between, I'm fitting in lunch with a friend. Looking forward to it!
    Keeping two cats and myself on a small budget, and enjoying life while we're at it!
