Not sure where today has gone.
I did hoover though. Feeling a bit blur this evening, I think it is the stress getting on top of me. The Room of Doom is more Doom like than ever, maybe tomorrow I'll do some of it. Rest of the house is okish.
RP ate more this evening than any other time since her trip to the vet. Only trouble is I turned my back to speak to DS3 and Woody has eaten her tablet! I have tried giving her another with no joy so that will need to be rectified this evening somehow.
DS3 has settled to loads of homework this evening, I think he is nearly done.The birds of sadness may fly overhead but don't let them nest in your hair0 -
Today I managed the small jobs I had on my list. Dried up, folded drying washing. DH is buying us dinner (Chinese) and we are watching a film. Not done much of anything today, but I feel better for it, so that is ok. Tomorrow will probably be a similar day, the Xbox One is coming out and my DH will be up all day no doubt waiting for Yodel to deliver it (wish me luck!)
Thanks Lamewolf for the recipe, I have bookmarked it to remind me to try it out on my DH next week, sure he will love it. Hugs to RP Dusty hope things are ok x
