I ironed things ( hubbys shirts) !!! First time I've used the iron in our new house we moved in May ...!), so now he has shirts to wear (which he likes) instead of tshirts (which he's not so fussed about but he does recognise wearing shirts creates an ironing pile and he doesn't iron)

Round 1 done. I have also cleaned the dys0n filter, the TD filter 🤢 and DW filter 🤢, and put the DW on a clean cycle! Go me!! 😁 I am rewarding myself with a cuppa and some biscuits (did I say it was SW tonight? 🤔😂)
DH is in the bath after an 8 mile run. It is probably too much to expect him to clean the bath when he is done! DS is wfh (this is a new thing, and will be every Mon & Wed). He is not happy about it, and I work on Wednesdays so it is far from ideal! It is impossible to expect the children to be quiet (two 2 yr olds & a 3 yr old), not to mention unfair.
I am going to use my tea break time to look for new wheels....6 -

Soup and sandwich scoffed for lunch, now having a cuppa before I decide what to do next! The fire is lit and I’ve got the whistling kettle on it, which makes me very happy indeed.
Charging up the power bank now just in case for later this week x

Thank you for the lists xxWM x 2 doneHoovered whole house, fluffy bits !Small food shop doneLogs doneOH has the day off, so he has been sorting stuff, (not before time) and I have had to pass it up to him in the loft, so the stuff has only moved venues around the house, not really what I was expecting.I can now dust some surfaces which have reappeared.Staggered just sold a load of garden pots I don't use, and the woman asked if I had any others, and to send her photos as she didn't have time to stop and look. When it stops raining I'm going out with camera to photograph them before she changes her mind, strike while the iron is hot. Win win, I'm going to use the money for the new private dentist I have found before all my teeth fall out, not been yet, the money won't cover all the bills but it is a start.Rainy and wild here, take care all, hugs to those that need them xBreast Cancer Now 100 miles October 2022 100 / 100miles

I've done an hour in my room. I folded the clothes between the wardrobe and the chest of drawers.. I've had to eat so I could take a stupid number of pain meds.. I could really do with a review of meds and step them up a notch.

Afternoon all from sleepy Dizzyland. Only managed a couple of hours of slumber since I got in from my night shift, as I was used as a pillow by all the dogs and overheated!
The ironing I did yesterday is still sitting on the worksurface in the kitchen, but I CBA to move off the sofa to put it away. Will collect boys from school in a little while and then drape myself over the sofa once more, and snooze for a little while. Hubby is home, so he can babysit x10 -
Cloakroom and loo undercoated. Brushes etc cleaned up.
House surveys booked for next Friday
It's a gorgeous sunny spring day here, so good for the mood.
Tea and a biscuit next11 -
Finished for today - took husband and dog for a walk, only managed 1.2 miles today as it was super muddy and very slippery so we only did one lap where we'd normally do 2 or 3. I'm doing a Lands End to John OGroats virtual challenge over the year, need to average 3 miles a day so will hopefully make up some miles tomorrow.
Going to sit down with a cuppa, crochet and Call the Midwife now11 -
I am exhausted. I had to stop 3 times on the school run because I simply could not walk a step further..
Decluttered a carrier bag of gibble to DD1..
I have some more washing to hang up, pack ups and dinner to sort, DW to load.. and I have to go back upstairs for OH's mug to make him a cuppa because the girls were screaming so I came down without it.. actually.. I will make it in a different mug..
