Raining here now too, even though it wasn't forecast.
Good job I didn't hang the washing up outside.
Have hoovered the whole flat while I had the hoover on, and have hoovered the duvet, as the cat had left lots of grit etc on it from where he likes to roll in flowerbeds!
I really must dust the bedroom as I keep putting it off as I have so many bottles to dust, and need to hoover all of the cuddly toys. I won't be able to do it on Wednesday, as I've got to be at work for 11.30, and doubt I'll feel like doing it after. Should have time to strip the sheets etc before I go though, so will leave the bed part til Wednesday morning.
Oh, and I still haven't cleaned the oven properly - must do this as the hob needs doing too since OH cooked (don't know how he always manages to boil things over and then not clean up afterwards).
Right, off to find some feel-good music to help get me in the mood to fly. Will check in a bit later with an update.

Well the livingroom is also done now
Can you tell I didn't do anything last week and NEED to this week :rolleyes: Its not that the house is a mess, but I can't stand knowing that it didn't get cleaned last week. Infact, since tea is already in the slow cooker (just need to put the veg on) I might even go and hoover/dust the bedrooms then it will just be maintenance this week

The rain is still holding off here.. but I have 9 lots of bed sheets to get dry so it can just stay with you lot until tomorrow!!!!
Parcels still to post and a cheque to put in bank.. I'll send someone in a bit..
Need to get the WM's on again.. and vacuum the downstairs.
GP's are useless.. by the time I managed to get an appointment I would either be dead or better.. you have to phone at 8am for an appointment that day as they don['t do appointments in advance and by 8:30am all the appointments have gone.. most people can't get through until after 10am anyway... it is ridiculous.. when it is one of the children I request a home visit.. they soon fit them in then!! But they only do home visit for the really old, the really young and the very disabled.. everyone else can go hang!LB moment 10/06 Debt Free date 6/6/14Hope to be debt free until the day I dieMortgage-free Wannabee (05/08/30)6/6/14 £72,454.65 (5.65% int.)08/12/2023 £33602.00 (4.81% int.)0 -

I've not done a single thing!
Went out with DS my mum amd nephew for 2 hours this morning.
We went blackberry picking and to a small park and my DS loved seeing his 'grown up' cousin. It's been a year since they saw each other. My sister has fallen out with me as she thinks I'm a snob., so the boys don't get to see each other. Very long story. Family's eh?!
Anyway came home from that, made DS some lunch and had to lay down as I yet another headache which made me feel sick and my stomach was agony too. Already spent most of yesterday with a hot water bottle on my stomach.
Two hours later I'm up and have eaten a slice of bread and butter and am having a cuppa and feel more human.
DS has watched TV and I feel bad for just letting him slouch about.
Am not likely to do much today and am supposed to be out tomorrow visiting my friend and her 3 children.
Looks like it'll be a busy Wednesday!...it is not of more importance than daily life, which I have an enduring wish to make as useful and beautiful as possible.
