    Evening all. I decided to wash the kitchen floor properly on my hands and knees rather than just swishing the mop around. However, I caught my little finger under the freezer and three hours later, it's finally stopped bleeding. Mop it is next time.
    Done the jigsaw and eaten the pie. You have my every sympathy - problem is the hands and knees job so much better :eek: so still persevering.

    Morning All

    DS has got his injection this morning so we'll be going out about 8 and then I've got the dentist at 12 so that cuts the day in half. I'm not going to plan on doing anything this afternoon in case they do some treatment at the dentist because then I won't feel like it, however they did say they would just review what the emergency dentist had said and then probably do the treatment next week!

    I may do some on my BR this morning as I haven't managed to touch that yet and it's a bombsite. Other than that, DS and DD both need to do some baking for the camp tomorrow night so DS will possibly do his today so that will destroy my kitchen!

    Have a good day all

    Hugs

    Morning everyone

    Back to work and school for us today - and a full day of paid stuff so I might not get much else done, but should have time to catch up tomorrow.

    I did do some tidying in the kitchen yesterday so thats something. Dont feel very motivated this morning at all and not really looking forward to work.

    Suppose I had better get myself moving!

    DD2 is in MASSIVE trouble when she gets home.. she has made a right mess while I've been away and there are thing missing and things which aren't hers that have been meddled with.. OH swords and someone has been in my room too.. I know, I sound like a bear after Goldilocks.. lol..

    Bunny towels are in the WM..

    Squeak screamed the 2 hour drive home yesterday.. she had a temp and a few spots which I thought might be the start of chickenpox.. We stopped to feed the baby and calm her and Dot down as all 3 ended up howling about 2/3rds of the way back.. Turns out she does have chickenpox, she has about 5 spots this morning and the one I thought looked questionable has blistered now.. she doesn't feel too good and is hot and cross but kicked outside in the sunshine which will make her feel better I'm sure and aid healing :D

    Having a cuppa then unloading the car and getting through the 6 boxes of laundry that have appeared over the last 4 days.. with only 2 people in the house I'm not sure how!
