Get well wishes to those who need them!
Update: i didn't clean the bathroom last night, instead I had a nice relaxing shower:o
This means I have the following on my list:
- clean bath, sink and toilet
- remake bed in the spare room (no kids... yet;)) and
- HH me time.
Last night, DH mentioned he was going to do some cleaning today (he brought the subject all by himself which is pretty impressive) and I suggested he did some hoovering. So that's sorted without any dramas.
(Moan alert!) DH refuses to clean the kitchen and bathrooms and I find this so frustrating:mad:! I know some men don't help out at all and I don't mean to sound ungrateful for the help... I just feel that the share is very uneven and I don't feel able to tell him at the moment. End of moan. Sorry

DS2 lying on sofa in PJs, dressing gown and a blanket too dopey to move or do anything. DS3 (2) also wandering around in PJs as he wanted to be like his big brother... I'll change him in a mo into clothes - he can have a snack first (yogurt - bound to get spilt!)

Hello all
Didn't get to post update last night as DD needed laptop for homework then I had an early night.
Did well with study and housework yesterday. The bumpkin teens even joined me, using the battery operated dusters - with changeable attachments - I bought them for Christmas, much to their disgust, their faces were a treat when they opened the boxes :rotfl:

Good morning ladies.
Lying low - I'm not well, stomach pain and chucking up bile all night.
I hope your visit to the hygienist isn't too awful Dusty.
Hope you feel better soon and yes it was fine, I explained my sensitivity problem and she slowed the machine down and has painted my lovely clean teeth with thick yellow yunk to help the sensitivity! Looks like I've never cleaned my teeth now:eek:Morning all,
Felt rubbish last night so took myself off for an early bath. Woke up with a minging headache. Had a call to say that DH's grandma passed away last night - 97 years old, so a funeral to prepare for.
Hugs for you all.
Get well soon to so many of you and your kids.

Afternoon
Two loads of washing done, including DD1's bedding. Vacuumed through downstairs after S&Sing the kitchen. Remade DD1's bed and sorted out two drawers in her room which I was having trouble closing, not overfull just looked like they'd been beaten up inside!
