    House is cold in parts due to kitchen door still drying, giving it another HH then shutting it.

    DH home and removing stair carpet for decorating.

    I need to:
    Wash up
    Iron some shirts
    Take all pictures off the wall
    Pack up rest of hallway
    sort bus money for DS3
    email a document (after I've found it)

    Then I'll do the list, it maybe a while.

    Aww Pigpen she is a cutie

    And HB I worry that you are putting that dressing gown away too early. Dont be fooled by this nice sunshine, I dont want you get a chill.

    Nothing is right here and I feel glum. I have too much to do and never get on top of things, I dont like my job at the moment, I am tired all the time, I am worried about DS and feel bad about feeling bad. Sigh.

    Off to put the ironing away.

    Ugh yorkshirelass I feel the same. Glorious day here today, and I sat despondent in the conservatory. Felt I couldn't enjoy it because i have too much flying round my head about all the places I need to be and things that need to be done, not just this week but every week. It feels like a merry go round, every Sunday night I end up in the same headspace, wondering where all my time went?

    I just feel so rushed, and no time to stop and regroup, think things over, think what I want from my life. But maybe that's a good thing ;)

    House is fairly straight although I still haven't mopped downstairs. I've stripped two beds today, done some laundry, got everything ready for school. I'm going to WFH tomorrow, so might get the mopping done! Might also be able to cook some dinner for after swimming thus avoiding the chippy that we succumbed to last week (straight after getting weighed and having lost 1.5lb :(:(:()
    Can I clone myself? Anyone ever tried that yet?

    evening all, I've never hoovered the downstairs as often as this week - 3 times!!!!! we had unexpected guests yesterday - DH arranged it on fri evening while I was out, so I had no idea what meals they might be eating with us or how long they might be staying - lunch and dinner as it turned out! Good job I'd got tonnes of shopping on sat morning. And today we were outside in glorious sunshine most of the afternoon so there were bits dragged in and cooking/eating debris everywhere, so I thought I'd give it another go over as I've got so used to it looking nice!

    I now have Flykid *2 struck down with vomitous lergy and its the littlest one :( fingers crossed she'll have picked up by tomorrow. Luckily the ladies in the NT gift shop didn't seem to mind tooooooo much when she redecorated their floor :eek::eek::eek::eek: Twice.

    quiet day for us tomorrow then!

    Ah Bossy and YL I so know where you are coming from, flying is supposed to be making us have more time to enjoy life, not bog us down. I too feel I am constantly chasing my tail. Was offered free tickets to a gardening show today but just could not spare the time, yet OH took the whole day out to go and run a half marathon out of the house for 10 hours, no worries about meals, looking after DS3, clean school uniform, or undercoating the kitchen door.

    Still I'm about to create the list, for tomorrow is a new shiny week.
