    I will have more time tomoorow to catch up, bathroom and stairs have been done to so a little ahead hopefully! Also don't have a master bedroom as I have a sofa bed so can juggle there. Kids are responsible for their own rooms as they are NO GO areas! But do need to get in there soon and do the annual 'muck' out

    Thanks Dusty for the kind words made me feel a bit better!

    Today I've read the list. Made some wonderful models with playdoh, a little finger painting, watched some of Charlie and the chocolate factory (original of course) had some lovely cuddles and the most amazing chats with my DGD1 :) she really is a ray of sunshine :)

    Did manage to make breakfast , dinner and tea! Two important phone calls and washed the dogs bedding.
    Glad Louis has been found safe and well:)
    Hope the poorly hubby gets sorted soon. That's too long to be feeling so rough :(

    Morning all!

    Normal service has been resumed - a lovely pic has been posted on FB and Twitter of a certain returned beagle curled up asleep in his bed - aaaahhhh!!!! Heaven knows what his owners must have been going through - made worse by the fact that his litter mate had to be PTS around a year ago - but at least Louis is home now!

    Todays list looks good, hoping to get Level 2 done tonight after the Governor's meeting - finance again - setting the budget for the year. Jacket potatoes for dinner so nothing complicated there - DH will be home before me so we can get started on the list when I'm home - he will be dog walking as soon as he gets in - they have him well trained! :)

    Have a good day everyone - not a day for putting the washing out - weather forecast looks horrible again!
    :j Almost 2 stones gone! :j
    :heart2: RIP Clio 1.9.93 - 7.4.10 :heart2:
    :p I WILL be tidy, I WILL be tidy! :p

    Pleased to hear Louis was found Sagaris.

    Am awake. Work mailbox is full, so am logging on and will end up spending most of the day filing :( I have been trying to keep on top of it...

    Sports massage this morning, GP and then reflexology this afternoon. Not sure when I'm going to fit much other work in :o

    Must remember to get petrol. Hope to wt least get the downstairs floors done too. Things are starting to look so much better and I need to make sure I keep making progress.

    Better get logged on, make breakfast, unload the DW and have a shower :)

    Morning all, didn't manage much yesterday except for running the roads. So i need to get caught up today....

    So far everyone's been fed, dw loaded, wm and td both on. :D
    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.

    Stressed.mum - you sound like you are in much the same boat as me. Welcome and feel free to drop in and out as time allows. I was very active just before my mat leave started but I seemed to completely run out of time once I was actually off and it's taken me til baby is eight months old to get mysel together again. Just in the first week doing the three days made a huge difference and that was just level one! Lol

    So far, I have actually managed level one and two for both days. I am now out til kids get home but I will do whatever level three I can manage on my return. Having a mobile baby and laminate floors, I tend to do a quick 'wipe' of the lounge floor daily and I try to do the kitchen too but it's so much easier when I'm on top of the rest of the list it seems to be so much less work.
    Anyway, better get wiping as that's all I have left to do before school run.
