Sorry you can't see your Mum Beanie 😥. Will you be able to have a video chat with her? It's so hard when families are separated like this. 

Why didn't you buy yourself an easter egg? (wags finger emojie) You deserve one.

@beanielou, the eggs will be overstocked so treat yourself to a reduced price egg on Tuesday. That' my plan anyway.
@HairyHandofDartmoor, your energy levels put me to shame. Sit down and have a cup of tea!

Glad you got the job done. One big job a day is certainly something that seems to be working for a lot of people. x

Thanks all of you . I think it's my way of coping. I spent the first week after school shut for most children feeling tired and miserable, the second week working but feeling down when I was at home. This third week I've got my mojo back and thrown myself into cleaning and de-cluttering. Let's face it, what else have I got to do? 😭 🤣

I won't be able to do my Saturday saunter today 😭. But I've got more spring cleaning and de-cluttering planned 🙂.

My big job for today is to empty a small un-needed wooden chest of drawers that's currently in our bedroom and put it in DS3's room. DS3 has a broken plastic chest of drawers which needs to go to the tip. So when I've replaced it with the wooden one I'll put it in the garden with the other stuff waiting to go to the tip. I want his room to look nice for him when he finally comes home .

Apart from that I want to hang up DS1's net curtain, hoover the hall, put an un-needed chair in DS3's room (until the charity shops re-open), and put the clean washing away. After that I'll see how I feel and how much time I've got left.

I've already put a wash in the machine. It's going to be 22 degrees here today according to the forecast so my washing should dry quickly ☀️.

Have a good and safe Saturday everyone 🙂.

I'm the opposite way round,I spent the first week running round cleaning my house and thinking how lovely it was going to be having all this time to just do all the things I need to do at home, now I'm just sitting here surveying the mess and wondering if I will ever get enough energy together to hoover up, my mojo has completely disappeared,I'm sooooo tired, I got up an hour ago and I'm just contemplating having a nap 😀
