-Emptied the TD and sorted and folded a weeks worth of underware for 7 (the only things I wont put out)

Hi,
Thanks for the lists Dusty.
I'm going to try and be in, last week went all wrong after tax credits needed my entire years income figures before they could update my claim with my new job details. I hadn't done any accounts since June so it was a massive job. Work was manic too and i ended up bringing work home with me that still needs completing.
Neveah won't be flying for a while i expect after she fell over last night and smashed her front teeth out and ended up in A&E. She didn't break anything thankfully.

wiped all the tables, dining and coffee
wiped the dining room chairs
then I ran off to the opticians for an 11 o'clock appt in town
sorted out a problem in the MU bank
did some shopping
called in the drs on the way home because I don't know how I actually made it back and I have an appt at 4.40pm today.
I put away all the shopping, entered up all receipts and filed the paperwork.
Did 3/4 hour paid work and now I'm going to go eat lunch and jump in with JTTOU at 2pm.
I'll be shuffling instead of flying because the waves of pain keep stopping me in my tracks.Proud to have dealt with our debt. DFW Nerd 1474

I don't think I stand a cat's chance in h3ll of doing the whole list; but I do want to try and do the fridge out and defrost the freezer, so that's the target this afternoon. Our toothbrushes are fine, but I have given the hairbrushes and combs a good clean - Mr LW's was a bit gunked up with the hair gel he uses; he has very fine hair and it sticks out in all directions if he doesn't "glue" it in place.
Also, yesterday I found some empty pump bottles - I think they had samples of handwash in that I was asked to test and evaluate for Mr T's - so I've decanted my shampoo and conditioner into them, in the hope they'll be easier for me to use than the flip-top bottles that I have to get Mr LW to open every time I want to use them.
GWS vibes Neveah.
Mumto5 I hope this week is better than last for you.If your dog thinks you're the best, don't seek a second opinion.;)0
