Bought some new sheets for my bed as one has ripped - which I was expecting, they have gone thin in the middle.

Just realised the time.:eek: I haven't washed DD's uniform for tomorrow/next week (going up the stairs on her bottom & sitting in her wheelchair all day while at school means the pants are getting filthy each day!), I haven't washed up and I haven't put my order in yet... I have made tea and put the Mr A shop away though. Best shift myself!!!Creeping back in for accountability after falling off the wagon in 2016.Need to get back to old style in modern ways, watching the pennies and getting stuff done!0

Flyers one and all very impressed with how much you have all completed this week so far. Final push tomorrow, I know it's the end of the week and we are all starting to flag but you are doing so well, keep it up.
Time for me to sit down with my heat pack and watch a bit of tv 'Bank of Dave' on C4
I'll catch you all later on tomorrow as I have fracture clinic with my mother and then food shopping with her (I'll buy some wine whilst in the supermarket cause I'll need it by then)The birds of sadness may fly overhead but don't let them nest in your hair0 -

I've been a bit rubbish today but managed to wash the bedlinen and put fresh on, do the washing up and wipe down the kitchen and start tackling the ironing. I think it's going to be a late one, so hopefully I'll get more done later. Hope everyone else is having a good day and is staying motivated :beer:0

Back again! Just about to whack a black wash in the wm while I wash up and make lunches for tomorrow. DD will just have to put up with what she gets, I am NOT messing around tomorrow morning trying to do it when I would like to get her in school more or less on time. We've only been going in late as her class were swimming first thing but thats finished now as far as I know.
I just managed to get my order in on time. DD shouted me at 9.45 that she needed the toilet (she needs help to get in and out the bed, onto the floor, she scoots round to the toilet on her bottom, then needs help to stand/sit and her leg needs supporting while shes there although I usually whack a stool thats just the right height under it now, and then reverse!:eek:) but thankfully it was a smallish order this time as only 6 people ordered!
So tonights jobs before I go to bed:
Washing up
Laundry

Packed lunches x 2
My bag (need to put my laptop in tomorrow morning)
Stuff out for the morning
