I am just fed up of life in general and feeling unwell and taken for granted and unloved and unwanted so I am being a bit of a beast!!
I'm in as best I can, yet again.
Shoulder still very painful, but I now have some gentle exercises to try; it transpired the dog-sitting franchise has exactly the same trouble with his shoulder as I do, and has been told it's something to do with the "rotator cuff" whatever that it. Anyways, he's been given some exercises, and has told me what they are, and 4 of the 5 are do-able by me. So I'll see if they help.:o
Millie Dog walked all the way to the post office in the next estate with me this afternoon (combining it with her walk saved me turning out twice, and also saved me from the scariness of having to leave the house alone). She was very good, and walked with the mobility buggy nicely. She's flaked out on her blanket in the lounge now! :rotfl:
I've made a veggie Shepherd Spy, which will feed us today and tomorrow.
Welcome Home Jill. :hello:If your dog thinks you're the best, don't seek a second opinion.;)0 -

Bedroom fully cleaned and then some!
All furniture (bar the bed, which is too heavy) moved and vacuumed under; tops and fronts and sides all dusted, skirtings and edges vacuumed too.
I have also emptied out bathroom cabinet, wiped it out and replaced toiletries. Unused/OOD stuff flung. All sunscreens flung because they are 18 months old. All interdental brushes (we have a range of sizes) now in a tidy box as opposed to random packets which keep falling out of the cabinet. (these are unused BTW)
Box of toiletries checked - I have no conditioner in stock and there are a couple of personal items I need, so when I go into town I will pop to savers. I lurve that shop!

Magnificent Monday ~ Master Bedroom & Landing
Level One... DONE
Level Two... DONE
Level Three...
Sort 10 things from a wardrobe/chest of drawers that you can get rid of... and a pair of shoes only counts as one thing! Likewise socks!.. and it is time those knickers you have had for 37 years were binned.. let hem go liberate yourself!! 1) DD old trainers, 2) Broken coat hangers, 3) ill fitting bra, 4) odd glove 5)
Extra Mission
39 fling boogie time, go on grab a bag and clear that clutter – 1-10 recycle & rubbish, No11 – the quality street box from Christmas (still on the dining room floor) 12-21 rubbish, 22 old pair swimming trunks 23-24 recycling, 25 -29 Recycling (from attic) 30-39 bag of clothes past their best (basically I found a bag of smelly cloths that I'd put in a bag while my washer was broke, they disgusting and not going in my new washer, so they in the bin)
Wipe or dust over the upstairs light fittings.. don't go injuring yourself please, you have the rest of the week to work through!
Clean windows in these rooms
Wipe down the skirting in the bedroom and on the landing DONE bedroom, landing needs glossing it's just primed, getting white spirited before painting next week!
I've decided until I get on top of the house, to do it day by day, so tomorrow will only work on Tuesday's list, I won't be trying to play catch up... kids are off this week so I got a good chunk done today, not everything done and could only find 4 things to fling from the bedroom.0 -
Hi everyone, count me in too & thanks for the new thread Natty.
I'll tell you all a little about me, at home I've got my DH, both my parents DM & DF, & adult DS2, My DF & DS2 both need a level of care, which myself & DM share along with the housework of which I don't like DM to do too much as she is a pensioner but she likes to do her bit, I also do shift work in a physical job outside the home, I also have DS1, DDIL & DGD & DGS in my life too but they live in their own home.
Today I got in from work & was worn out, by the time I'd seen to the tea, did some stuff with DS2, done the dishes, had a shower, all I've wanted to do is sit down & watch tv so I haven't got anything on the list done today &
I think maybe the way to make this work for me is to use this group for inspiration & somewhere to list what I actually do. Hope everyone ones ok with that.0 -

Ok, so day one of half term 90% done and tasks from the list...? Erm...Windows in bedroom opened, icy blast circulated (all lurking moths and spiders frozen to death) and the window cills tidied and cleaned.
More than ten items sorted from Tiny's wardrobe. He's grown so fast these past few weeks that he's a bit like the Hulk, bursting out of shirts ATM.
I have condensed all the Christmas things together in one place to take up into the attic tomorrow. Why are these things even out still? Got bagfuls of baby clothes to get rid of, somehow, but unsure what to do :rotfl:
I need some new knickers and socks as mine are threadbare and grey, so may look online later. DH didn't get me any skimpies for Valentine's Day (thankfully) so I've earmarked some old ones to fling.0 -
Good evening, I am just going to update my list and head to bed, as I'm feeling tired after a rather busy day but its been productive. The phone call to uni regarding course went a lot better than I thought and it looks like I can change without any problems.
