House henried by DH
I have updated my satnav. Also planned my route via a friend's house for a pitstop.
2xwm done
Had a downpour this morning and sky is still cloudy so no whirley today.
Ionafan just keep going, I don't do a great deal of exercise. Sleep and water seem to help with weight loss.
Narco enjoy your holiday. X
Under bed part dysoned (just waiting for it to recharge)
Boys' room dusted.
Ds1 has turned up for lunch. He couldn't wait until Tuesday to see the gf.0 -
I'm here, just lurking in the background. Seem to be going through a vicious cycle at the moment. When my mood is low the cleaning gets put to one side. Then when I feel better there's so much to do, which just makes me tired, and then my mood low and back to the beginning:(:(
Really need to get back to the lists and do little and often, hence why I joined in the first place :wall:
Having said that I have managed to declutter the hall of boxes that were waiting to in the recycling, gone through paperwork, generally cleared gibble away from hall and living room, and hoovered downstairs.
Also went through a box of Mum's stuff that my sister had passed on to me. Don't think she realised what was in it otherwise she probably wouldn't have given it to me (we don't get on). Found family tree info, a sketch book of my Grandad's, and...cue very emotional moment...mum's wedding and engagement rings that she'd hidden away after her divorce.
Hoping for a better week next week if I just follow the lists!
Hugs, sticks and spoons aplenty to those that need them.0 -
Evening
Just in from work, my feet are tired tonight, so wandering around in bare feet to 'stretch' them out for a bit.
Daily stuff done
I've got Monday off, so I'll have a blitz then, but is really is tidy atmBreast Cancer Now 100 miles October 2022 100 / 100miles

Just tick to Level 1 for a while and rest up whenever you can. Your house will still be better than it was previously.0 -
Duckydo I think we all understand how that feels! Just keeping plodding.
A day gardening/outside tidying achieved here. Looks much better, but now it's cool, dark and breezy so we are all indoors. We have just done something that we very rarely do - bought ready meals for tea, which was a nice treat.
Oh and DS1 is out tonight so another late night taxi run could be required!0 -
Good day - got weekly shop at Aldi, and even scrubbed the bathroom!
Bag of clothes sorted for friend's DDs and kitchen is tidy. Wine in hand now :beer:MFW

Ok. Could someone get him upstairs, or a witch, or SOMEBODY on our side please. I am seriously going to lose the will to live.
DH has failed his exams (or as he put it, if he's passed he wouldn't want to work for an NHS that allowed it) I am going to be making myself unemployed on Tuesday and probably without a reference.
And we are running out of towels to mop up the leak from the tap that DH has been trying to fix all afternoon. Which means that I won't be able to have a bath tonight if we can't put the water back on.
Roll on tomorrow.Goals - Weight loss 6/26lb at 22nd Jan 18Mmmm. 26lb at 1/7/18. Oops:o0 -
Wow FBO - sending 'sort out' vibes for you...
am pleased to report that the kittem has taken to using the cat flap (after 1 demonstration only) and has decided weeing outside is the thing. Given she doesn't restrict herself to the litter tray I am very pleased with this development.
Have been given a vase from my sister.
Have realised, today, that when she told me she had cancer the first thing she said was that she loved me. And it was the last thing she said to me, too.Don't put it DOWN; put it AWAY"I would like more sisters, that the taking out of one, might not leave such stillness" Emily DickinsonJanice 1964-2016
Thank you Honey Bear0 -
Apart from running the WM, absolutely no flying to report today. But I'm liking the thought that recharging electronics might count....I'm on level 3 and beyond today!
A day spent at the allotment, after seeing DD off early this morning. DH came along too this afternoon, which is a rare occurence, so I delegated lots to him :rotfl:. Well, it saved him getting on with the half finished diy project that is our house. As it's just the 2 of us this evening, we went out for a curry, which was a treat.
Coping vibes to FBO. Hugs to anyone else who needs them, or just would like one.0 -
(((Hugs))) and huge amounts of coping vibes to FBO, and I'll certainly put in a good word for you and your DH with him upstairs. You will both pull through this if you pull together. Please please please don't do anything that will set back all that you've achieved over the past three years, and keep posting on here for support and more (((hugs))).0
