Great news on DD's negative test. I try and stick to the Fly Lady thread on the forum here which is more or less the same thing, lists of jobs to do each day to, in theory, free up your weekend. I've got the Organised Mum Book as well and as you know I'm on the Team TOMM FB group. I do wonder whether some of the before photos on the FB group are staged as who would let their rooms get in such a state, some of them are shocking. 

I'm in the FB group and looking at the before photos is making me feel so much better about my house,there is no way I would let my house get into such a state. I'm only using it to keep myself accountable otherwise I waste time and then have to squish the housework into what time I have left. I thought if I did this it would stop that from happening, everywhere is looking lovely at the moment even though I haven't started it properly yet

Good news with the negative test. At least it gave your dds body a rest whilst recovering as I’m sure she’d have battled on without having to go for the test.
Bet the chooks enjoyed their time out whilst escaping.
The programme about the immune system sounded interesting.....can you remember what it was called or which channel it was on? 

I think it was called The Truth About Your Immune System Milann, I can't remember what channel it was on though 😟

Hope work was okay. Do you have any plans for tomorrow? x

Work was lovely thanks. I don't have any plans for today apart from walk-in B and lounging around 😁

Work was lovely yesterday with some really cute children coming in for clinics,I love it when they are confident and chatty. The only fly in the ointment was a banging headache which then progressed into earache in the afternoon, I've woken up today with a throbbing neck and headache which is intensely annoying 😡I am also very tired and am thinking I might go and lie down for a bit
I took B for a good walk through the fields earlier and also sorted the chickens,I don't have anything to do in the house apart from some ironing which I'm not doing because my neck and shoulders are too painful 
Im working a long day tomorrow so I'm hoping I will feel better by then, I'm really fed up of feeling like rubbish all the time and I'm really hoping that when spring and warmer weather arrives it will boost me up a bit

Sorry you’re not well again. It gets waring being poorly so often doesn’t it. 

On the plus side of things days will slowly begin to get longer and the nights shorter. Spring is on its way .....

Yes Milann, I am looking forward to spring too. My blossoming tree keeps me going in the winter as I can see it start to have shoots. x

I'm so fed up with it, it's just never ending. I cant wait for the nice weather to get here and I'm going to make the most of it this year 😀

I didn't go and lie down in the end because I thought it would stop me from sleeping tonight. I'm going to try to get an early night though but true to form I've got more energy now 🙄I realised just now I have forgotten to record my NSDs for the last few days and I can't remember them now,I don't think I spent anything on Thursday because I didn't go anywhere, yesterday I bought washing up liquid and milk on the way home, today has been a no spend day
I also ordered myself a new mop last night, I thought I would try a spray one that you can fill with your own cleaner, this will mean I won't need to buy mop bucket so it will take up less space, my old mop and bucket died last year so I have to get down on my hands and knees to wash my floors, this will speed things up and save my back
I also need to check my bank account to make sure everything is running smoothly. I have just remembered there is no council tax to come out of January and February's wages so that will be transferred into the flooring fund, I should have enough to do them but March I think although I think I will wait until we are well out of this lockdown before getting anyone in. I also found someone who does property improvements on my local community page so I'm thinking after I get the floors done I will find out how much he charges for tiling and get him in to do my bathroom, I can paint it but don't want to do tiling and it's that that lets it down, I might also get a shower screen put back in instead of a shower curtain while I'm at it. I'm trying to get these jobs done while I've got money coming in from DD2 because when she moves out I won't be able to afford it again
