    I have not done anything of the lists but I have done the basic dallies, my head is feeling far more normal today so I am going to bed very soon to try and get a good nights sleep.
    Then crack on with the lists in the morning but I did buy myself a new mop handle after the dog ate my other one so no more risk of impaling my self while wringing out the mop.
    I hope we are all well I haven't read back too much but I hope everyone is okay.

    List update shows an awful lot left to do this weekend. I'll be up early to take DS3 to squash and DS2 wants to go and buy himself a new tennis racket so once I'm back no excuse not to crack on! Going to collect the curtains I ordered to see if I like them and hopefully get a lightshade for DS3 (assistant said 15% off at homebase this weekend so need to check if this is the case.

    3 or 4 loads of washing to do this weekend too.

    Well DD is in bed sulking slightly as she has to be in school tomorrow for 9am, told her its her own fault for joining the choir :rotfl::rotfl: So while she is out I'll drag henry around the house and dust while the WM is on with non-uniform loads and I need to do a Mr A shop for delivery Sunday (they always turn up early when I book a sunday delivery :D). Then hopefully while DD is out with her dad on Sunday I can have a reasonably lazy/crafty day if all goes to plan. ;)

    Will be back in the morning to review my list, but for now I'm going back to my knitting and demand telly ;) :wave:
    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!
