    I'll have to catch up with the thread tomorrow. DS1 has been unwell, so I just did a speedclean of the kitchen and bathroom Monday, and then spent the rest of the day at the doctor's, then off to hospital and spent the night. No sleep, as very noisy, which DS found upsetting and not very helpful, so I made a scene this morning, then texted OH to come over and rescue us. Finally managed to escape at lunch time, having agreed to take DS for another check up with doctor, and then for scan, and psychiatric assessment tomorrow. I may just have time to do something like say, the washing-up!

    Off to bed, can't stay awake any longer.

    I sat with OH this evening and had a good meal and when he went out at 7 I cleaned and scrubbed and finally got my way down that list. I have the bathroom mat in the wash, a white wash hanging out to dry. Tidied all the hotspots (should make the bedroom easier tomorrow) - Last thing to do before I go to bed (after ages on the laptop I imagine) is make my sandwiches and get my clothes ready. I want to get my exercise video done tomorrow morning as well.

    Still got to get around to cancelling my credit card and look for jobs.

    How's everyone else doing?

    Just managed to do the kitchen today. But I have hoovered the dining room and the hallway so a bit of a headstart for tomorrow.
    I've also put new curtains up in DS's bedroom which meant taking the curtain pole down to start off with!
    I'm in school all day tomorrow then off to Sw at night so I don't know how much I'll get done but we'll get there.

    Thanks for all the hugs on Sunday they were definately needed!
