    Morning Ladies and Gents, I have been absent for sometime but am back on getting my home and weight under control. Starting by just trying to de clutter a bit and sticking to my daily calorie allowance, however, now i've started to declutter i can see how dirty some of the house is and so need the cleaning to commence. I may not be able to stick to the days so have copied and pasted the weeks jobs so i can cross them through when they are done regardless of the day i do them. Hope everyone is well this morning, the sun is shining here and my little one is having a rare lie in so i'm making the most of the quiet time x

    YIPPEE!!!! We just got Dots nursery place confirmed for January!!!!!!!!! I don't know about her but I can't wait!!!

    Today we have a Spam for a bit.. DD1 is gone for a scan as she's been bleeding and can't stop vomiting so hopefully baby is ok.

    My hands are really painful today..

    Pixie's pox is looking awful today.. she has masses appeared on her face overnight and she as an enormous one on her finger, it is the size of a baked bean! Poor Pickle! She seems ok though in herself, if a little less smiley. She is definitely not off her food!!!

    Cuppa glugged..

    I need to hang out laundry 'delegate to OH' as my hands won't lift it or operate pegs.
    DW needs doing.
    I want to sort/empty 1 box from the back room and might do 2 if I get carried away!

    Clearing programmes from the DVR and doing housework. I only have a couple of cleaning cloths that aren't currently out on the washing line being soaked in the rain so I have a feeling some jobs will have to wait until later. I also can't mop as the mop cloths are on the line :o
