hung out wet washing
brought in and folded dry washing
loaded 1 TD

hubby did BM (breadmaker NOT bowel movement!! though he probably did one of those too lol)
picked up the mess in the front room so it just needs vacuuming.. not sure if I can do that right now.

Just off for a cuppa while the drugs kick in and I'll see what I can handle then.. *sigh*

I am going to bed this afternoon scaredy.. after the restless night I had I think I deserve a nap when DD5 goes down!

Oh.. I've done a binbag dance as well.. got to fill up the wheelie for tomorrow!!!!

I seem to do more when I feel naff than when I feel ok.. insane!

Morning all (just).

Bed changed, two loads of washing on the line. Remade. Bedroom dusted and polished. Vacuumed all bedrooms and landing.

Filled up bath with hot water and bio powder and draped vinegar soaked kitchen roll over taps.

Went back after a couple of hours and the taps are much better. Tried to pull out the plug to do the bath and the metal bit came off and I couldn't get the plug out! Baled out most of the water with a bucket until only a couple of inches left and managed to get the plug out.

Dried up floor where I had dripped water everywhere baling.

At least the floor is extra clean now with warm biological water all over it

Feel really hot and tired now....

Oh, and I vacuumed and polished downstairs too (before the bathroom incident). And I did the kitchen tap and draining board with vinegar too.....I smell lovely now......

Afternoon everyone.
I did most of my dailies before taking dd to school so i didn't feel too bad popping off to the shops. Well, I say popping off but it's a half hour walk, and even longer if ds wants to walk instead of riding in the buggy.
I'm not long back and have s&s the downstairs loo and kitchen as dd is bringing her friend home after school and as they're only 4yo her mum comes too.
Have made a lentil and swede bake for dinner so i can pop that in the oven after the guests have gone.

Had a look at lil_me's list and must admit I can cheat a bit....

Hi guys :hello:

Thanks to Pooohbear...Michelle...lilme for their hugs and congrats, loves ya x

Had some bad news just a while ago, my sons friend (14) who had an asthma attack on Monday died this morning, my son knows what's been happening but isn't in yet so doesn't know the outcome, everyone's devastated naturally Poor love was only here the other day, and I can still see him sitting on the trampoline, I'm quite upset

Not done much of the list today, did the bed and that's about it lol....gonna sort something for tea in a bit, I'm all out of whack now with the news, may just wing it and give my kids extra extra speshul hugs and be with them, except littleys playing out and would much rather do that I'm sure :rolleyes: Awwwww I'm all of a dither.....

Hope you feel better soon pigpen, you're not having a good time at the mo are you
