Of course you're not nuts, you are finding your way of dealing with a very difficult path you've been sent on. Anything which makes it a bit easier for you is a good thing. I'm guessing it is early days for you too.

it is early days
When you say "too", do you mean you are in similar circumstances?
I didn't know, sorry x

Now, I am going to give this my best shot over the weekend - I always seem to fail in the week. Have got the washing machine on and am going to work through as much as I can, deleting it as I go..

Monday - Kitchen and Dining Room
Basic Flying
Sweep and mop the floor
Clear and wipe table
Wipe the inside of the fridge and see what needs using up
Deep Cleaning
Clean the extractor hood
Clean the hob, under all the dials too
Give the oven a clean, soak your shelves in the bath to clean - put an old towel under to protect the bath
Washing all your hoover brushes and filters - dry all thoroughly before reusing

Decluttering
Sort out a hotspot
Sort out all your cleaning stuff, is there anything to use up/bin/replace

Clean the plug holes and sloosh with boiling water, soda crystals (or whatever you prefer, bleach,vinegar)

Been to town and gotr new front door keys (we only had two; the Vallikids will now need one each and I'll have to leave one here. Got a few more bits, too

DS didn't go to his dad's for some reason

DS is helping me move heavy stuff out of the kitchen

DS doesn't know this, yet;)

pigpen

Food decluttered
WM done
sheets on the line
DW on a hot clean cycle with toxic chemicals .. it will work perfectly!
Old laptop backed up to new one.. need to back up the old desktop still

Dot has been much better behaved the last couple of nights.. it won't last she is going to be a ratbag again tonight you watch.. she has been going down about 9/10 and waking up about 12 hours later.. and then napping at the same time as Squeak in the afternoon... bliss!

OH playing bonny with the networky bits and is NOT happy his new hard drive hasn't arrived.. his lappy is needing a new one.. it still kind of works but is a bit erratic..

Off to drug the cat.. she hates me

Oh.. and I am sick to death of watching teletubbies!!!!!!!

Grand declutter going well so far, been fortified by lovely al fresco lunch sourced from local town market, so time to crack on.

Juliejim - I'm the same, he's shot through loads of Gap trousers and equally good things so am going to try Ebay and see what happens.

Time to put some more laundry out, its turning into a lovely day out there,

Valli

Oh no hun that's my poor grammer I meant it was early days. I'm lucky and still have my hubbie.

Just been and picked my engagement ring up after the stone disaster. They have done a very nice job and I got an insurance valuation whilst I was there after the nasty scare.

Off to Mr T in a minute as Mr A has pizza on offer they haven't got any.

Kipling please don't try and get a whole week's list done in a weekend! I'm sure Jue will create a much kinder list next week. I've notice we're a bit like good cop bad cop :rotfl:

GI.. My mog just cost £166 on Tuesday.. and the boing £36 on Wednesday... and Dot is £28 a week.. they are all worth every penny though cos we luffs them.. I hope his leggy is better in the morning.. silly woofit

I am rehoming two cats tomorrow. Now I am starting to worry about the cost:eek:

DH has had the week off work so we have managed to get loads done. He has cleared out the shed and the store, has put up shelves and the hanging brackets I have had for over a year. There is now enough room for both the chest freezers in the store. The problem is I don't know what I am going to do with all the space in the house now the freezers are outside.
