This is a big week coming up. Monday back to school (never easy for DD2) and boiler fitting. I'm also supposed to be doing a sleep workshop and getting a telling off from the diabetic nurse.
Tuesday is LAST chemo.
Wednesday is home inspection by the council and DH gets his last tube removed.
Thursday is Ukrainian family arrival.
This weekend I've been driving round Devon and Somerset collecting stuff for the room.
So far, sofa covers (to replace the dog chewed ones) £30, bed (a while ago) £20, a child's wardrobe £27, a big wardrobe £30. I LOVE the prices of used furniture. Just hope the big wardrobe goes in my big obnoxious car with all the seats down.
Then there's the washing and cleaning.8 -

Wow, thats a *huge* week! So glad you can tick so many boxes, and like SH said, leave some nurturing for you along the way. Really something!2023: the year I get to buy a car5

Changed tack on the wardrobe . . found one for a tenner. Super nice people.
Child's one is set up but I need DH for the big one and he ran out of spoons at lunchtime.6 -
Lots going in this week - including the massive milestone of last chemo 🙌

Thanks @greent you too!
Good progress made with both wardrobes in position and the place starting to look quite nice.
Still loads to do as DH has not helped much as feeling yucky.7 -
That is indeed a big week. Hope it all runs smoothly and you don't end up in a heap on the floor.
