    That is rather poop. I think i should join pigpen on the naughty step.

    In my defense, my hands are all dry and cracking from washing them while dealing with baby, washing up and housework. They have been so bad today i was struggling to do things for the baby without them bleeding, despite putting on loads of cream.

    So, i have bought myself some cheap washing up gloves, one pair to wash up with, the 2nd for household cleaning, and i'll see what that does.

    List for tomorrow is this:
    Thursday 1/3:
    7. Clean inside of LR/dining room windows

    4. Dust all lampshades
    5. Clean marks off lightswitches
    Tackle filing, hotspots, and a 27 fling boogie (or as many bits of rubbish as you can find, if you don't have 27 things then well done)

    Deal with post

    Watch DVD rental, and post back
    Do some of the dreaded ironing
    Write a list of all things to take away for weekend
    Start putting out on spare bed
    put new tax disk in my car

    DH is at work, and i'm not that tired at the moment, so i'm going to go and do some ironing, while wearing a face mask now. ;) I've got a whole day in the house tomorrow, so i should do better.

    I'd best also hang up the washing from the WM. Baby had a dodgy tummy again today, so more stained clothes to go straight through. Not enough airer space to deal with it all, so it requires regular checking of the airer to turn clothes and get them to dry faster.

    I'll say night night, as i won't manage to check in again today,

    I have a similar problem, especially down the sides of my index fingers, so I wear gloves. I found some at our local corner shop that are vinyl disposable gloves in apack of 10. As they fit either hand I just get a new one out when one gets a hole in it and they last me quite a while. As they mould quite well to the shape of your hands I put a pile of cream on before putting on the glove - admittedly it can get quite squiddgy but it works :D Hopefully you can get something like this as it's miserable having dry, cracked hands.
