Evening
Thanks for the welcome, it’s good to be back. I managed my half hour of admin, rehomed the gibble taken out of my office and did HHI, there’s still quite a bit to iron, and piles of washing to catch up on. Also tackled the recycling that’s been left to pile up in both utility room and garage. All now in the appropriate bins.
DH home early from work, not feeling well, test negative so maybe just a bug of some sort, he’s taken himself off to sleep in the spare room, that room was going to be my focus before work tomorrow so I may have to rethink the plan.
Back in the morning x9 -
Started the day with a run as it is a bit cooler now. Pleased to note that, despite the 'coffee and cake' sessions on holiday, I weigh the same as I did before. So back to the trying to get slinky.
Kitchen surfaces cleared and wiped.
Pile of pans and recycling bits washed up.
Tax bill paid.
Info sent to private student about impending assessment.
Lots of gardening done. Blueberries and chard picked and eaten.Remember...a layer of dust protects the wood beneath it.10 -
Morning all
Wet and 9 degrees here. I’ve fed the animals who are being very stoic in the face of all the mud at the time of year! Well the pigs don’t mind but the poultry are annoyed.
A rough night of coughing so an easy day today. I need to polish and hoover my room, FUPA some laundry and occupy the children.
I hope Littleydog had a peaceful night? X
Hope the hospital goes okay Iona xx
Take care all x

Morning all. It seems everyone has been really busy. Keep resting as much as you can poorlies.
Littleydog slept through the night, is now dosed up on painkillers and antibiotics again and is fast asleep. Hoping she meets another milestone in her recovery today or she'll be back to the vet tomorrow for another scan.
Today I will walk Poppet, try to do some flying, have my medical appointment then visit DD for the afternoon.
Have a great day everyone.Spend less now, work less later.9 -

Pixie is loving summer school, Dot is unhappy because she has befriended HER friend and was taught by HER teacher yesterday. Squeak is floating about playing on her switch and reading, Twinkle I am assuming is somewhere in the house I haven't seen her yet.. but she did come ask for OH to get her breakfast.Pixie dropped offCar is demanding car food bu OH doesn't get paid until tomorrow.. and as prices are supposed to be dropping he is leaving it until them to feed it.
I've done laundry and food and DW and more laundry and more food and some more food and knitting.. that is about it. I can't do more if I am to pick Pixie up from summer school on my legs.LB moment 10/06 Debt Free date 6/6/14Hope to be debt free until the day I dieMortgage-free Wannabee (05/08/30)6/6/14 £72,454.65 (5.65% int.)08/12/2023 £33602.00 (4.81% int.)7 -
DW done twice, once by OH. Washing, that had been languishing in the washer for 24 hours, on the line. Only OH's working gear, so not getting rewashed. Second load washed and out. Lots of animals looked at and counted. Much bubble wrap stamping done. Several children sat in boxes. Floor covered in Duplo! Baby still improving. Hugs, mumtoomanyxxx

Wm x 2 done and on the line. 4 hours paid stuff done from home, as it was stressing me too much not to leave it until tomorrow. Mr M has delivered and shopping put away. Admin is sat on the kitchen table waiting for me to muster up enthusiasm. Meal plan still not done, no idea what we are having this evening.
Quick lunch, then dw to run, lettuce to pick and admin to tackle. The little that is actually growing at the allotment will likely need watering as we are in desperate need of the rain that keeps bypassing us.9 -
washing out.. now I am off to get Pixie from dance. DS2 can go tomorrow I think.

Hi all
DH still not fully well, he worked today from the spare room so my plan to tackle that room put off. Jobs tackled instead…- WM x 2 and dried on line
- WM reloaded for tomorrow
- Top floor bathroom scrubbed, bin emptied, shower curtain, mat and towels all washed and floor mopped. Again this did not take long, already feeling better with 2 rooms tackled
- HHI again
- Quick swish and swipe of other bathroom and kitchen, deep clean to come later
- Tackled the chair wardrobe in our bedroom, most got chucked in the wash as cat has at some point slept on it, washing easier than sorting through!
- DW run, all dishes now up to date
Hope you are all ok, back tomorrow x
