Evening all,

Had a good day, I managed all the list, except for mopping the floor, and I will do that first thing tomorrow.
Dailies also done.
Ten minutes weeding and ten minutes tidying garden.
Helped OH rearrange shed a bit, so the bikes and mower fit in more easily.
Walk -jogged dog.
Three bags of clothes to chazzer.

Great! If you can believe this, my two crazy children have gone to sleep tonight "camping out" in the cupboard under the stairs in our new (not yet finished) bedroom. I finished painting the inside of it the other day, and have had carpet fitted inside. DD1 is on the floor of it, and Dd2 is on the "top bunk" ie a low shelf. I imagine they are going to wake up after a couple of hours with pins and needles etc, but they would not be dissuaded! They have been playing in it all day, and have informed me they are having their breakfast in it.

ATB, hugs xx

YL hugs also, we here know how hard you always work, it is so frustrating when other people close to you don't support you as much as they should.

Michelle I know how you feel, my judgmentals have just been!

Managed everything off my list today, and DH has done most of his The alpines look happy in the raised bed, and my ironing crate is empty.

Just had a long chat on the phone with DD

(((Hugs))) to ATB, peace to your Grandad, and coping vibes for Grandma.

YL, your husband's comments sound very much like what my DH said this morning. (((Hugs))) to you too.

Will catch up with everyone again tomorrow x

Awww BM thats sweet. My two went through a stage of making dens out of anything they could find and move into one of their bedrooms. I remember back then you could take all the cushions off my sofas and they regularly vanished upstairs. Of course I wasnt allowed to dismantle their dens for days either.

Oh and thanks for the kind words too. What would I do without you all?

Bedtime x

Narc0lepsy

I'm back after doing lots of flying at mum's. She is doing fairly well, thanks for your concerns. She keeps finding new bruises in strange places and her leg is going through very interesting colours; it was pretty much all black below the knee when I arrived on thurs. Seems she broke the 5th metatarsal (long bone joining little toe to ankle area) but had huge ankle swelling as it was the ankle 'turning over' that led to the fall (well actually it was the footbridge between platforms at the station which caused it "oh that's not the first time someone has fallen on that step". ). Luckily she is allowed to take the boot off, (it is just 3 large bits of velcro holding it tight)at night and if she is just resting the foot up. Anyway, I have brought her back home with me for a while to keep an eye on her. There are pros and cons; obviously she knows her house better but also gets more irritated looking at things that want doing - although I've been a very obedient 'slave' when she will tell me what she wants me to do. So she reckoned she was more likely to rest at mine. Luckily we had a good journey (just over 3hrs) and she has already successfully negotiated my stairs.

So now I have to catch up on my house and garden again, although as ever Mr N has been pretty good with damage limitation. I'm also glad to be back and keep on top of any work; I did take my laptop to mum's along with my box of paperwork to do my tax return, and did do a bit.

Night for now, hope other injured legs etc get well soon. Iona I have 2 re-freezable gel pads in the freezer which mum's friend lent her so I know how you feel.

In my HHC I brought in the laundry,
Cleaned bedroom windows and wardrobe mirrored door.
Cleaned kitchen window and sill
Washed vases
Ds1 changed his bed
Ds2 learnt to use the stick cleaner. He has JHS like me so his hands,wrists and arms are quite weak. He will be practicing to build up his muscles.

Hall, kitchen & conservatory vacuumed
More Lego dusted

Thank goodness, I've found you all. Slight panic attack as I realised I hadn't subscribed this week then cold sweat when I couldn't find it just now....breathe....

Gentle hugs for ATB. I lost my Grandma between Christmas 2015 and New Year at the ripe old age of 104, but she had a peaceful passing and by now must be throwing wild parties wherever she has ended up. Hope your Grandad slips away to join her dancing in the stars xxx

The rude raspberry is making another appearance at the reporting of selfish husbands. Mine is prone to being a complete prat at times (usually daily) then tries to turn things around so it appears I'm over-reacting or being self-centred, or lazy, unloving, blah, blah, blah. YL and Iona - I hear you sistas...

Narc0 - you are both brave and kind to accommodate your mum at your house. Mine would be locked in the shed after about 25 minutes of criticism...

Naff all done today but did manage not to bury the boys in the garden...

Usual nocturnal flying - tiny mouse shown the door. At least this one had the sense to go through it.
