    Thanks SS. Today better than yesterday but still quite under the weather. Trying not to rage to much at DH. The one thing I asked him to buy at the shops was a box of lotion tissues. He said it was the first thing on his list. Never came home though. :mad:

    Not sure what I will achieve today. DS woke mega early but is now napping. I'm drinking coffee and feeling sorry for myself. DH is outside fighting with a blocked drain. I need to find something on the list that's not too exhausting or time consuming. Sigh.

    Sold a thing on eBay hurrah. The funds are just for the joint account but it's a bulky baby item we don't need to store. :T

    List for tomorrow:
    Post item
    Cash out of bank
    Pay for hay
    Empty trailer
    Buy horse feed
    Post vehicle documents (long story)
    Try to hang curtain rail
    Weeds to tip

    Have finished all the painting in the spare room so curtains are the last job. Have also managed to give the kitchen and utility a good sort and de clutter. Utility still has more to do but it's definite progress. Next up will be painting that. Though it's due to be nice so might try an outside task or two.

    Have been paid the last of my SMP now. Will be a tight month but only another month till salary starts again.

    Have been remiss in posting. Mainly as I've been remiss in achievements. Mainly as I've broken my arm.

    I am quite ragey and frustrated. 5 more weeks of a cast. Praying for no surgery though. :mad:

    Oh no, that's not on the 'to do' list is it? You need to take it easy and yes fingers crossed no surgery.

    Post when you can. We're thinking of you

    Thanks. Mainly just very cross at the mo. It was definitely NOT on the list!

    I have a friend who keeps her elderly retired horse here. Luckily she lives nearby and can help. DH also doing shifts. I can manage feeds but sadly (haha) no poo picking :rotfl:

    Adapting! I can do most things carefully. But all he wants to do is walk holding on to my fingertips, and I can't do that. He's frustrated by that. Also bathtime is DHs job now.
