    Hi all

    Back from a lovely weekend away, to a letter from DWP which was not so lovely. Desperately trying to stay positive, even though things with DS are pretty awful.

    So, as OH has just said - more moving, less thinking. Budgets for June sorted, 2 loads of washing out, everyone fed, bags unpacked. Off to put clean washing away next.

    Ebay parcels ready to send tomorrow. This took me ages but I made nearly £50 so its worth it.

    Well done on the flinging Pigpen. I am right there with you. We have flung so much stuff out lately that the kids are slightly worried that there is something going on that no-one has told them about!

    Lol I think she'll be working us hard :eek: by looking at all the flinging she's doing! ;)

    I haven't done much, DD2 had the blessing of the colour at drumming today so that was all morning gone.
    I've done some washing and had the DW, I'm so tired I've just been chilling. Neither of the girls have been here which has probably been a good thing cos tireness = ratty/snappiness in me :o
    I have dinner to do when DD2 get's home then I'll S&S the kitchen, cba to do much else :o

    I really miss doing the lists..


    And.. in that time I have sorted 2 boxes of clothes, filled 2 binbags of rubbish and one for CS.. 2 more boxes sorted!


    My landing is improving very slowly!! I am going to sort the rest this week.. I kind of wish I had before pics.. but I don't need them really, I'm on a roly-poly.

    Evening,

    Done today:

    Level ones from Monday, Tues, Thurs, plus decluttered floor of bathroom.
    WM x 2
    DW
    HHI
    Tidied and cleared out a kitchen cupboard to make room for homeless stuff caused by new cooker.
    2 bags clothes/toys to charity shop

    Then off to MIL to declutter 2 large pieces of homemade pie and associated veg. Yum.
    Just got to get school stuff sorted for the morning, then I'm done.

    Must be on it with the lists this week as my mum threatening a rare visit. She is naturally clean, tidy and organised, which probably explains why I am the exact opposite.

    Xx
