Morning all

Who's got my GUAG?

WM is on and the next 2 loads sorted. Quite misty here atm so not drying weather.

Ionafan, it sounds like good progress is being made on the house.

Just going to get my minutes sorted and emailed and then to the bathroom, I'll decide when I'm there if I'm showering or cleaning first.

Just2Ashamed

Thanks everyone.

DH got up this morning looking a bit ashamed of himself and insisted that I should have got him up when I was panicky. He's now gone off to work and has promised we'll talk later and he'll resume his NRT but without the grouchiness this time (he had a couple of fags last night after he stormed out last night). So, all in all, peace has returned to the household and I can hopefully relax a little through today and try to ward off any further attacks or whimpers from the BD.

Am having a fairly sizeable breakfast as I want to get as much done as possible whilst leaving time for a nap and shower before the antenatal class this evening. I also need to clear some of the things from my own list as I've been putting them off for much too long.

Monday - Bathroom, shower room, toilet
15 minutes...
Clear and wash the floors
Clean toilet
Empty any upstairs bins
30 minutes to spare ...
Clean all plug holes and the plugs themselves
Clean the sink including the pedestal
descale the taps and brush around the base with an old toothbrush
Got an hour....
Remove all dirty laundry & wash
Clear and wipe window sill
Clean the bath/shower cubicle

Thank you Dusty
I have to take OH for a scan this afternoon and am meeting two old friends tomorrow but am determined to be in this week as it's my best hope of restoring order in this untidy house.

(((Hugs))) to just2.
Welcome to all newbies!
Mumto5, glad you had such a wonderful day at the wedding (great pics!!!) but sorry it was tinged with sadness at your uncle's passing.

I put a news embargo on my side of the family from 6pm on the Tuesday so didn't find out until Thursday morning. I knew it would probably happen during that time but didn't want to put a sad face in the wedding pictures. My family respected my decision and kept it quiet.

Who's got my GUAG?

Don't know but think it has run away with mine.

LSD - Congratulations on the birth of your little dragon. Be kind to yourself and enjoy these first couple of months.

HelenJ - Thanks for popping in. I hope you get some news from the biopsy soon. Coping vibes being sent.

J2A - I hope things are better this evening.

So far today I've unloaded the TD, Unloaded the WM. Refilled the WM and TD and done HHI.

DH has taken kids to school. I wish he'd hurry back as we've no milk and I need my breakfast!

Good day wishes for everyone.
