2 bags pellets brought in before it starts to rain or snow

Another hour done
Ironing basket is now empty (but there is washing on the go so more later)
The dining room is now back to how it should be and it's been dusted and vacuumed.  I had taken a photo of it immediately after it was redecorated and furniture put in, it looked lovely so I looked at the photo and decided to put it back to how it was then, so the table was cleared, coats off the back of the chairs and the ironing board, iron, basket etc all taken back upstairs to where is usually lives.  It's lovely again.  
Steps up to 4300

Flying has been mostly just daily tasks this week, trying to sort out cupboards and drawers today whilst the rain is here. I've been to some good activities this week, Knit & Natter, Line Dancing and Ladies Only fitness class, lots of fun at all of them   Love the slinky club, great name 

Pigpen, its £1 max fees on eb*y till Monday you can do 1 or 3 day auctions for free too with the offer.

Morning all (just),

Has been a very low level week of flying this week aside from the rug cleaning at the beginning of it. Have been keeping up with laundry and general tidying up of toys etc.

Visited my Nana on Wednesday night and took the boys and DH to say our goodbyes. It was very emotional and DS1 and I both had a cry as soon as we reached the car. It was only when I was halfway home that I thought that I should have asked DH to take a photo of me with her. I mentioned it to my Mum so we went again (niece, nephew, DS2 my Mum and I) to see her in the morning yesterday and she took a couple of nice photos of both of us together. I couldn't understand a lot of what she was saying, as she's not really forming her words very well any more (part of her deterioration), but I did understand her saying that she loves me always (and that I have beautiful teeth lol). Other than the deterioration in her speech, I can't see a huge difference in her, but she does look very thin, and I have no idea if she's refusing food etc which is another sign. She seemed pleased to see me when I went into her room. I'm not sure whether I should visit again or whether I should keep the happy memories I have now. My Mum will be visiting daily. DS2 (3) still doesn't seem to want to be there as he's a bit frightened of her, which makes visiting a bit trickier.

Well I need to get moving and get the washing in from the tumble dryer outside. It's pouring with rain so I've been putting it off.

Happy flying all,

Did another 30 minutes
Washed dining room floor
WM 2
TD 1
DW unloaded
WU now dry and put away
Just had lunch so hopefully won't pick all afternoon
Coffee time now whilst I watch the news, but I guess it's all about covid 19.  
Big decision is which room do I tackle next?
5600 steps so half way

Anyone up for a HHC? I really need some motivation today as I feel my GUAG has gone! lol

Mademoiselle

Sexymouse, yes I'm up for a HHC, I was great this morning but now starting to lose momentum.  Hope I'm not too late for you

SM .. if you can face going you should always go.. Think how awful it would be laid there alone thinking that the people you love the most in the world won't come to see you in your final days because they want to preserve who you were before.. death is a part of life and those memories of her being fit and well will always be with you.. just be with her, she needs you all now. I wasn't allowed to go see my nanna when she was dying, I had just had surgery and had an infection and while I didn't really want to go I would have liked the chance to make that decision for myself.. so if you feel you can.. do go.

My dryer has died.. it has power this time but no heat.. I am not a happy bunny.

Sarah seems very happy in her new home though the furniture is all wrong and she is trying to move things about.

I need to whizz out to the shed and grab the pump for the pushchair.. I am not dragging Twinkle back in the pouring rain she can go in the pushchair and stay dry. I don't fancy my chances.. 20ftx10ft.. it could be ANYWHERE OH packed the shed it is not nicely stacked.

Thank you pigpen - I will try to go and visit her this evening. Sorry to hear your TD has died - are you able to get it repaired at all? x

HHC turned into a whole hour one as I wanted to get the bathroom finished and I'd also been interrupted by DS2 who decided he must have chocolate coins that I know nothing about (he can't have milk or soya so as far as I'm aware we don't have any in the house) and had a massive meltdown as I couldn't find him any. So, the whole bathroom (apart from the floor) has been cleaned, including the light fitting, which was extremely dusty. Tiles, windowsills, toilet, bath, sink, mirrors and windows are all sparkling. Also managed to get a load of washing washed so that is now in the tumble-dryer.

Good afternoon 😁 
I have been busy at the paid stuff since Tuesday. I had a parent mention that her OH had got back from Northern Italy last week whilst we were chatting. He was not in the lockdown area, and is still in good health. I have informed all of the other parents, and will carry on as normal. It was good of her to mention it after I had had her LB for 2 days! 🤦‍♀️🤷‍♀️

I still haven't done my report 😭 I will have to do it this weekend. It's just as well that I can't do any garden jobs because of the weather! 

I need to join you with slinky! I have got back to the running, but it would be a lot easier if I was a stone or 2 lighter 😂 It is creeping back on. I have given up bread for lent, so that should help as that just makes me feel sluggish.

Flying today I have WULTD, s&s the kitchen and washed and disinfected the baby toys that were used yesterday.
