BadCat18 said: I confess! It might have been me that hogged the sandman... I slept really well! Sorry xx

Don't apologise BadCat xx I'm pleased to hear that someone benefitted from an overdue visit from the Sandman. I don't mind taking turns, as long as I get a turn eventually  

Round 1 completed + fanfare ta ta taaaaaa - I crossed something off the listie!!! I have caught up with the washing up AND wiped down the hob. Dishcloth is now soaking in a bleach solution, and I'm supping a coffee to celebrate.

Round 2 =
check weather forecast (very grey and murky here, but it was yesterday and stayed dry)
peg out / hang on airer (depending on weather forecast) bath mats which have just finished swishing
sort Sweetie's seed and water
Decrumb toaster and wipe   (I am beaming here - I'm actually being a proper flylady doing things on the listie  )

Training done, I'm now hungry and have a headache.  So off to make some lunch, scrambled eggs on toast I think.  Then will tackle our bedroom this afternoon.

Afternoon everyone,

Sorry to have been MIA again - the house has really been neglected as I've been focusing on DS1's school work, which means that DS2 (3) tends to make quite a bit of mess whilst under DH's "supervision". We've just all blitzed the living room and play room as I was fed up with all the mess. Luckily everyone joined in and now DS2 is happily hoovering the kitchen. Our downstairs is all open-plan, so everything seems to migrate throughout the whole of the downstairs instead of being contained in one room which is frustrating.

DS1 is refusing to do his schoolwork today and has spent 2 hours trying to find a word to start a sentence. I've given up trying to help him as my patience has gone out of the window so I'm flying instead so at least I can sit down and enjoy the tidiness whilst I have my lunch.

2x washloads put away and one more washing as we speak. Mount Washmore seems to be building up incredibly quickly too.

Hugs and get well wishes to anyone who wants or needs them. x

Afternoon! I'm in again this week, although slow off the mark today
We didn't get up till 10.30 and had to be at MrS for a C&C at 11...not sure who we will get back into going to school if we can't manage an up & out for 11    After the collection we dropped some things off with family I had go for them and collected some x stitch kits form a friend. Only just having my first coffee of the day!

The kitchen needs a very good going over so might take awhile to do that, also have loads of washing as I was waiting for the rain to stop so I could hang out but can't wait any longer so TD it is.

Positive vibes to all x

Where did last week go? I have absolutely no idea. I think a lot of it consisted of sorting out the patio and planting things, though. We have lots of herbs now. And possibly peas.

Anyhow, after a lot of tongue holding and deep breaths (on my part), Himself put a nice, chunky shelf up over the bathroom door for toilet roll hoarding and assorted cleaning products storage. And I got him to clean the top two rows of tiles whilst he was up there.

His work are making noises about reopening but doing it 7 days a week and increasing hours on the other days so as to ensure capacity is maintained whilst fewer clients are in at any one time. And added perspex screens for the staff. He's up for doing as many hours as possible. 

He has mentioned this could potentially, due to the number of staff who are old and don't need the money without cruises and long weekends to fund shielding and not coming back, mean fifty hour weeks. So I informed him that if that happens, we will be getting a dishwasher as soon as his first pay comes in, as a) he is not going to be doing everything after working that many hours and b) I have no intention of spending hours doing the one job I hate more than anything else and if I could have afforded a replacement when it was just me earning, I would have done so already. Assuming that I still have a job to return to. Bills come first, as always.

Eventually, I will get that blasted dishwasher. And my plates will no longer be sticky.
