Wash Pots
WM x 1 - on the line drying
Put yesterday's washing away
Tidy playroom aka RoD
Tighten bed frame - still a bit wobbly, might need a new bed 
Get filler out of shed and fill holes in the landing & ds bedroom wall - will do ds room in the morning so it has all day to dry
Sort out shed so I can do the next item in the list - moved enough stuff around to get out a storage box for the decs
Put xmas decs away

Also did a bit of admin/emails as I realised that the family fund grant ds got for a new bed has run out before I used it due to the current situation    really hoping they will reissue!

Will need to do some of today's list if I can too

Thanks Good, I have been putting off doing a toots list as I am frighten by how big it may be!

Mud sorry to here about FIL

Mudders - sorry about that news.
Well, after complaining about aching back and aching derriere and haveing half-listened to a lady on Jermey Vine (yesterday?) I have moved the laptop into DD's room (which is also the guest room etc) - there is a desk and an office chair in here.  There also happens to be a monitor so it too is hooked up to the lappy and I am on two screens - so when I am consulting a document/googling images etc in order to plan lessons etc it's so much easier.
I have WUALTD and ironed.  Other than that it's been wfh.

Sat in the sun, may as well enjoy it whilst it’s here. 

YORKSHIRELASS

Hi all

Been to hospital (I was anxious to start with and having to wear a mask didnt help).  The scan results are not conclusive.  The good news is that his blood results are OK and obviously he feels well and is putting weight on.  There is "activity" in his bone marrow which is likely to be the body repairing itself after chemo, but no-one can be absolutely sure, so its another scan in 3 months time when they will be able to tell for definite.  Of course I wanted an answer one way or the other but I am trying to see it as a positive.

I attacked my office with the hoover when I got in.  I have a small office which as well as my work stuff (two laptops, two printers and a mountain of files) houses a collection of things that wont fit anywhere else (DSs golf clubs, my weights, yoga mat, small airer, spare folding dining chair, a basket of handbags and shopping bags, etc etc..  Its all tidy and organised but more cluttered than I would like.  Anyway I pulled everything out and gave it a good hoover - there were a LOT of cobwebs which was quite alarming.

Teaching DS some proper cooking so he has made steak and ale pie and chips.  His GF has high expectations of his cooking when they get back together.  Actually I better go and check on it as he has wandered off.

Managed to get most of my list done today, the decs are now in a box ready for the shed! Not much of the group list done but I did straighten up the living room and cleared/organised my desk meaning I could finish a craft project I started the end of feb!

dd wanted to watch Sister Act 2 this afternoon, we have been enjoying watching old(er) movies during our time at home   I have WULTD and S&S kitchen after tea so it will look good again in the morning.

YL - Sorry it wasn't conclusive news, hopefully it will be next time

Doing my own list has helped today and motivated me to get the little things I have been putting off done so here is one for tomorrow -
Package up parcel
Go to post office
WM x 1
Decs in shed
Dig paint out to touch up over filler
Hoover all the way through downstairs
Sort dd computer out (Well move it down stairs and plug it into the router so Me Tech can remotely sort it, I am in no way tech savvy!)

Evening all,

Well after a couple of rough days with DS1's homeschooling (all set by school), today was a much better day. He'd finished the dreaded literacy and loved all of his maths tasks. He was meant to research the rainforest and produce a poster about deforestation for his science work, so we researched and then the lesson ended up diverting into an art session as we decided to draw some rainforest animals using his 101 ways to draw animals book that we'd given him about a year ago and he'd not used. DS2 slept during this time, and it was actually quite relaxed which was nice. I drew the same animals with him, and I think he liked the fact that it wasn't just him doing it as well.

Flying wise, I hoovered the downstairs again (with hard floors dirt seems to just appear from nowhere) as I've been doing a workout video in the mornings in the study whilst DS1, DS2 and DH do Joe Wicks in the living room and I needed the floors to be clean so I could do the lying down parts etc. I also had a fling this afternoon in the kitchen as we have a corner of the worktop (where my stand mixer etc are) that seems to end up constantly cluttered and is a hotspot, so I've tried to put it out. It looks much less cluttered visually now which makes me feel a bit calmer too. I've got 2 loads of clean washing to put away so will try to do one in a minute.

Mudbath I'm so sorry to hear about FIL. It's such a hard decision to have to make to consent for a DNR and one that my Mum has had to make for my Nana (103 years old and has had Alzheimer's for about 10 years now I think). Sending you both huge hugs. x

Good evening!
I didnt get back on this afternoon, but I haven't been idle (makes a change! 😂)
I completed Round 3, and then decided to clean the oven while it was still warm. I followed that by cleaning the kitchen floor. It is a long kitchen, and there are some cluttered spots, but I moved everything out, cleaned walls, skirting & kickboards so was a long job! I am smugly pleased with myself 😊 I also hoovered the LR. When DH got home he took the ladders out the front & cleaned the upstairs windows. I helped him do the downstairs bay windows. He then put up the VE day bunting with help from DS. It looks very cheerful out there now 😁🇬🇧
Needless to say, I didnt get down to the allotment.... I have put the seedlings to bed and watered the garden. Washing has been folded and put away & a pizza was ordered for dinner.

Mudbath I'm sorry to hear about your FIL 😥
YL I'm sorry the news wasn't conclusive, but positive vibes being sent to you & DS for the next scan
MeandThe2 well done! You have been busy 😊

Time for bed now. Night night all! 

Mudbath

Thanks for the all the supportive comments. Sexymouse - it was hard to come to the decision but his quality of life is already so bad that it would be wrong to come to any other decision. Hugs to you and your family too xx
YL - sorry the results weren't conclusive but definitely some positives there. Hugs to you xx

I carried on filling time with this and that and nothing at all but now it's nearly 11pm so book and bed. Tomorrow is another day and i'll try to be more productive. 

Night all xx

Mudders.. hopefully he will be one of the fortunate ones and not suffer .. much love.

YL.. inconclusive is almost good news... this is going to be the longest 3 months ever I'm sure.. but if things are looking on the good side he can enjoy life while feeling well and hopefully it will be proper answers next time ((hugs))

My mother (66) has had a DNR for a while.. I don't agree with her decision but it is hers to make and I will deal with it accordingly when the occasion arises.

I have decided to knit myself a tunic.. not sure how it will turn out.. but hey ho... my daughter will nick it is I don't like it!

Morning all 

Wide awake club checking in, I didn’t get much done beyond dailies and paid stuff yesterday. DH has been painting the fence in the garden, it’s needed doing and is starting to look quite good out there. I’m working again today so I expect he will carry on with that.

I did manage another section of my painting project last night, it’s a slow job but at least it’s finally getting done! Hopefully I will finish it this weekend.

Plan for me today is dailies, paid stuff and then see what else I have the time and energy for... 

Sending hugs to all in need xx
