  • Morning, managed to climb out of armchair last night and emptied ironing pile and did another load of washing.


    Done a bit of "pick up dirt" this morning. Basically tidied up everywhere in house without need of making a noise, as hubby is having an unusual lie in - hope he's not coming down with something.


    So that's bathroom cleaned, lounge cushions puffed, dw emptied, DD and DS1 ironing put away, 2 loads of washing.


    Just having 3rd coffee then will sort out back porch, as it is starting to collect too may shoes and coats, and didn't do this when it was on the list the other day.


    Will start on today's list if/when he finally gets up :) and will start and include computer room instead of landing, as that was cleared yesterday when all decs were put back up the loft.
    Loving life to the full, just need purse full too :)

    juliejim Just wanted to send hugs and get well soon vibes your way, as you seem to have been unwell for a while. Have you seen a doctor about the cough? Take care, and forget the housework, it'll still be there!

    Beautiful sunshine here, but very frosty. I have already done two loads of washing, prepared turkey stock and taken DD to uni. I have an 11am appt, so just time to do some packing up for DS1 I think. OH still in bed, so will have to wait to start the list.

    Rubiesr4eva That is very impressive flying! You have done loads!

    Meeting decluttered, longer than usual as lots to discuss, some is excellent news, some is not at all good. Time for a cuppa, kitten cuddle and reading of the Ofsted report hot off the press.

    Morning all


    Bossy - hope your procedure goes ok.


    Forgot to update again yesterday evening, but I did fly and I guess that's more important


    LR, hallway & stairs dusted
    LR, hallway, bathroom, kitchen, sunroom and stairs vacuumed
    Dailies done
    DW emptied


    Today:


    SC on


    Off for counselling tonight, I think I might make it my last one for a while. I'm in a much better frame of mind than I was, despite having a panic attack whilst driving last week. Flying tonight will be limited.


    For those that remember about my lump on the back of my knee, I had physio last week and he seemed to think it was a build up of fluid. He is the first person to reassure me it is nothing more (everyone else I've seen has been a bit wishy washy). I have a mri scan booked for Sunday, so hopefully it will become clear what the problem actually is, not what runs riot through my mind at times.


    Have a great day all
