The up date
List
1. hoovering - done downstairs
2. dishwasher on - been on three times - need to empty in a minute.
3. washing moved on- onto third load.
4. more hoovering - bits done in other places.
5. move hay to somewhere that isn't the conservatory. - can't but have organised it better
6. clean the rabbits out - decided not to, they are still settled with each other and if I move things or change things it upsets them, so a partial clean.
7. clean the guinea pigs out - didn't need doing so sorted some clothes instead
8. make mum breakfast, lunch and dinner. Done.
9. clean kitchen Done twice
10. clean kitchen floor. - doing before bed
11. put away amazon things (!) not done yet
12. find cheque. not done yet
I also cleaned the bathroom, tidied the living room, ordered a few presents sorted a bag for charity shop.
I want to hoover upstairs and I have to empty the dishwasher. Need to think about lunch tomorrow. Can't stand thinking about food when I am full up and probably move the washing again.

I have completed my list. Aside from finding the cheque which is a problem for another day
I am very pleased with my little self. I think most difficult thing with Mum is she has no clue what I have done today. I mean she knows I have cooked dinner and hoovered. The clean kitchen, bathroom, living room and tidier conservatory/my room will have passed her by. I am pleased tho, I feel like I have made progress, that Mum isn't living in a death trap and the living room has remained decent for nearly 3 weeks now.

I also had a cleaning,organising and sorting weekend,it always makes me feel so much better!
And you have to do it when the mood takes you and you have a bit of energy otherwise it’s soul destroying…😂
I try to keep on top of things but I also have lots of animals and they create so much extra work!
I love them but when tired or low the house soon starts to slip,scarily quickly actually.
Well done on your massive achievements!😊3 -
Just a quick drop in, Mum says one energy bill is 59 and the other one 99.
So I think it is reasonable to estimate that it could go to 120 and 200, thus being 320 a month? I suppose it could be less but I think best to plan for the worst?
I think it will probably be more.Nevertheless she persisted.3
