    Thank you for good wishes x

    Ds2 has gone back to school. I texted his bus escort and wrote in his home/school diary for people not to mention what happened yesterday. Hopefully he will be ok. When he fainted he went floppy then rigid a few times so it was quite scarey.

    DS1 spilt a cup of water over a kitchen work top so I have cleaned all of those. Kitchen windowsill wiped.

    Off to have a shower then see what spoons I have left.

    Busy day today, I have a "beauty" appointment this morning. Then the girls dad is coming to move DD1's car before his friend takes it for it's VIC check. Hopefully by the weekend DD1 will be on the road :eek: _pale_ _pale_
    DW unloaded and reloaded, airers emptied, landing, staircase and hall vacuumed. Cat litters sorted.
    Now a quick drink before my appointment. Need to buy more car litter on the way home.

    Polish any granite, stainless steel etc

Wipe out the cupboards and replace after wiping sticky jars and binning/donating stuff which has been in there forever which you really will never use - share your most bizarre find - pictures welcome
    Extras

    Wipe and water plants
    Do you still need to organise/buy easter eggs or gifts?

  • scrubbed myself top to bottom (literally) this morning and had long soak in bath as I have a smear test in about half a hour. Tried to clean bathroom after but got rushed out as apparently shower had broken, hubby has managed to mend it though, he's a good un.


    So instead, I've put load of washing in, made beds and hovered 3 bedrooms.


    Took a peep at DD's room, as isn't as bad as normal, so have asked her to tidy floor by end of day so I can sweep, hoover and mop. Not holding my breath haha.


    Emptied fire and started polishing lounge, while laptop was restarting!!.




    Hope everyone is having a good day. See you all this evening.

    Morning all

    Meeting done, walked there and back to get my step count moving for the day.

    DS2 is peeling the masking tape off for me, going to sand and stain the theshold next and then defrost the freezers and meal plan/write shopping list. Need to go and buy paint, food shop (opposite direction) and collect an order from town, hoping to walk to do this part.

    Another meeting tonight at 6pm and I need to set aside an hour for reading for that too.

    Dancemum hope DS2 has a better day.

    Narco - had a lovely surprise this morning, was in downstairs shower room and the fairies were sitting in the climber outside the window and were tapping on the window, I have never seen them quite that close before, they were fluffy and lovely.
