I've popped tomorrows list up now incase I forget, had a manic day and done very little myself apart from trawl round shops for 3 hours for shelves to find everywhere had sold out or just didn't have ones I liked, came back with everything but shelves! Bit naffed off and need to get the boys teas made so will hopefully catch up later.

JillD_2

am in my bed :j After my post earlier I began to feel totally !!!!!!, really nauseous and unwell, phoned hubs to see could he coe home early and do their tea, he amazingly said yes and arrived home about 10 minutes later :T I burst into tears with relief and was sobbing so much I thought I was going to puke (havent done that for a good few months) so he sent me up to bed with some cereal, laptop and my book. Whats more, he had arranged to go to pub with his mates tonight, something he doesnt do that often as he normally works from home in the evenings, and he says he will cancel - his idea not mine :eek: I didnt realise how bad I felt til he got home really.

Feel better already just for being in bed. DS even wet himself (again) during all this and I managed to not lose it.

Anything decent on telly tonight ? Looks like I wont be labelling clothes or sorting the bureau LOL

JillD hope you are feeling better soon, maybe that's your body saying stuff this nesting stage I need rest?!

My partner has been more helpful today, that shelving unit is now fastened to the wall, took all of 5 minutes, well he was great this morning then threw the mother of all tantrums when in the shops :rotfl: can't win them all.

Looking at what I've done so far considering we've been out from just before 1-4.30pm at the shops I've not done too bad, DP did move the drawers not me however, so as long as I don't look at todays list for kitchen I've done great :rotfl: then comes the let down, I've managed to get all white goods wiped down and cupboard fronts, cleaned the 'not self cleaning' part of the cooker and the racks from the other one, washer drawer thing soaking but that's all so far, benches are a tip, think I'll finish it when boys are building their star wars models with Dad

Evening folks,
Taken a long while to get through those posts tonight!

I can't find the list I started yesterday but I can see what needs doing still. Including the pans and pan cupboard..
Little bit of paperwork to do tonight too. Easy Peasy!

JillD, look after yourself, you don't sound like you're getting much sleep or rest.
Shell, that phone call thing is a puzzle, wonder if they were trying to get hold of you at your work and got the numbers mixed up. And Pollybear, that spooky think gave me goose bumps :eek: but at least your dog approved of whatever it was, if that's a comfort!

Off to make a start. Might pop back later.

Evening all,

Jill I hope you feel better soon - sounds like you could do with a break. You've earnt it after all - look how much of your list you have completed. Could you not casually leave a printout around for hubby to read - he might be able to do some of it for you as he's not going out.

Feeling good about what I've achieved today. I managed to complete every task in the kitchen, and every cuddly toy in the bedroom has been hoovered too. :jHave noticed that some of them have faded in the sun now that they are clean

Off to make homemade veggie toad in the hole now for the first time, so hope it works. Will see if I can get some more of the bedroom dusted while the oven is heating up.:D

Ooh look, I've nearly done one of tomorrows tasks too. :T
