MMM ... Is MMD (minniemousesdaddy) possibly depressed??? It just seems he is reluctant to do anything.. I'm sure you've mentioned previously there have been issues.. I realise that doesnt put food on the table but it may mean he can get further help medically and financially in the interim.. You could tell him you've been fielding calls regarding unpaid bills or something, would that stir him up? you could get a copy of his CV and spam the world with job applications in his name?? (I've done that for DS1 and DS2)

It taes about 18 months to get registered at a CM here at the moment so that might not be a short term option.

Morning all

Hugs to all in need, hope today is better.

Well I am surprised the parcel has arrived already and Useless Parcel Service driver was actually very pleasant (must be new!). Had to laugh as the label says 'dangerous goods', contents are only by the famous danish brick company - perhaps it's in case one escaped from the box and someone stood on it

Have done 2 x spellings and reading with the boys, WUDUPA and wiped all sides in kitchen, window vac'd condensation and opened all windows for half hour change of air, got bedding dried (changed bed while tea was cooking last night and washed it), vac'd behind and under the WM and load of towels now doing. Pleased as did most of today's list yesterday.

So am now OK to go and get milk and quick look in the CS, need some fresh air have stinking head, sore throat and cold has resurfaced again so feeling bit grotty.

See you later.

Got about 5 hours sleep last night. Almost had a meltdown early this morning but OK now thanks to phone call to Mum & J called me too a little while ago.

Just these 2 things to do from the list now:

Going to vacuum in a minute and will knit this afternoon. After vacuuming I'm going to bundle the kids and dogs into the car and go somewhere where we can have a proper walk even though we'll probably get muddy!

See you later x

Afternoon all

Hugs, sticks, spoons, and vibes to everyone.

Having a catch-up day today. Its so nice and sunny I've got all the windows open airing the house as its started developing a doggy odour due to being shut tight against the weather. All the dailies are done, major tidying up session in the livingroom, I've walked Zack, been to the shops for milk & a few bits, got yesterdays last load of washing out on the line blowing through, another load in the machine, shown the landlady the damaged bath and she wants it replacing no matter what the builder says and asked her to get something done about the windows which are steaming up between the two panes of glass. All the front ones are doing it so the windows never look clean no matter how much I clean them.

I'm going to have a look at the list now and get on with clearing some jobs off it.

Sorry just realised I didn't say good morning.
Hope everyone is well
Hugs good wishes posi vibes sticks and spoons where needed.
Joined all 80 squares together, quilt is huge. Still lads of work left to do.

Done mils cleaning, been to work, had food with Dh he's gone back to work so. Going to set the ironing board up and blitz the ironing pile for a couple of hours till the lads get back. Half term starts tonight for ds2 as the teachers at his school have tacked two training days on at very short notice ie text Monday night! Good job I don't need to sort childcare it would be a nightmare for anyone with younger kids at the school who worked.

Right hhc or two starting at 2.30 if anyone wants to join.
