Hiya, I hope everyone is having an okay week. Not sure how it got to Thursday before I got on board. I've been busy all week but I have to admit that's I've achieved very little.  House looks okay if you don't look to closely. I have to fully commit to getting on board next week! I'm sure I've said that before!!

Thanks for the thread as always xx

Sorry for not putting up today's list, will be putting it up in a minute with tomorrow's list. Unfortunately my husband has been taken really badly ill and we are awaiting a Covid test on my mother in law who is in a care home, and unfortunately it totally slipped my mind. Normal service of lists resumes

Hugs Natty and anyone else who needs them.

Today I got up early and did most of the dailies and a dog walk before the paid stuff.  Busy day, waiting for DH to wake up so we can have tea.

HUGEST of good health vibes fluttering your way Natty... be kind to yourself.. and keep talking to us.. we are here and care very much xxx I hope Mr Natty and MIL get the all clear soon xxx It is a very worrying time for older people.

6 loads of washing done and 5 dried.. 1 waiting to go on the line but 3 loads are folded ready to go away.

I am now going to have a man rant, because if I don't rant here I WILL rage on his head... please feel free to skip..

OH has been as much use as a chocolate fireguard.. every time I looked at him he was wasting time, faffin with stupid weights, piddling onhis phone.. you should have seen the tantrum when I asked him to wipe the worksurfaces.. he did 1 of the 3 leaving one covered in sugar! I asked him to put one basket of washing out .. I was cooking dinner.. he put the basket outside and disappeared.. when I found him he was sat on the sofa piddling on his phone.. I am REALLY fed up of having to spell out every minor detail of what I expect to be done when I ask for a task to be completed... I shouldn't even have to ask.. no oone asks me to cook dinner or vacuum or get rid of rubbish so why do I have to give idiotic intricate detailed task lists?? I got ragey about it over the washing.. after the worktops, setting the video chat for Pixie, loading the dishwasher and picking up a bit of washing.
Anyway... now I have done all the things I had asked him to do this morning I will get on with emptying some of the hallway while he puts the girls to bed.. I refuse to be a part of it after doing everything else all day.

ok.. done now! it is safe from here on in!

cuppa first then I shall empty the stacking box in the hallway and fold up one of the 2 pushchairs out there which haven't been used since February!!

DH is still asleep so I think I'll just have crisps and we can have whatever he planned for tomorrow.  Today's food has been crumpets, donuts and a satsuma because work was so busy.

No flying but I have read another chapter of my book.

Natty hugs hope all is ok with Husband and MIL xx

Piggers I am sure men some times just don't relise what we do for them, and in your case for the children and household, I would suggest you go on strike like I did a few years ago, but in your case the children may not get fed.

Walk done

Kitchen clean from dinner

I would strike but I can't bear the clutter and I need to get stuff done so I can decorate and actually have some room.. it is horrible knowing it has to be done and it is a mammoth task and I get to do it all on my own!

Oh Natty hope all is going to be OK with DH and MIL.  Coping vibes sent your way x

Pigpen I am so with you.  I am doing about 97% of the housework here, even though I work more hours than DH, and the boys are at home.  I have to ask if I want anything doing, then once it is done they sit down.  Why is it my job anyway?

This week has been hard going.  Work has been tough and I have not been motivated, in fact I gave up at half three this afternoon and went out on the bike for an hour.  House is a bit messy but I am too tired to bother now.

Hi, 
I'm new and would like to join - well not really new, I used to come on here as JillD but forgot my password lol so here I am as jimali but really I just want to be Jill! Lovely to see some of the old names - piggers and mudders etc .... looking forward to catching up on all the news! For those who don't know me I have a 17yo with ASD and ADHD, a 15yo with depression, and a tomboy 12 yo (who was known as asbo-baby when I was on here when she was a baby/toddler. Her temper hasn't changed ....)

Hubs and I have spent most of lockdown decluttering and now the house is clear ..... but anything but clean. So I thought I'd give this a go again. Looking forward o diving in tomorrow. I think ...
