I hope you got through the EHCP reading Flowerpot
My 2 eldest are adults now and youngest is 15. None of them could be persuaded to clean the oven for love or money. I have to say it is particularly bad! As I'm very head in the sand about it and it hasn't been fine for a very long time!
Still going plodding through ehcp! Need to send it back tomorrow so must finish it but out nearly all day today!♥️ ♥️ ♥️🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸Decluttering 2025 So far 403 / 2025

Saturday was productive I helped DD with her studies. DH cleaned the oven ~ it was disgusting and took over 2 hours! DS1 cleaned out the white drawers in the kitchen and DS2 chopped wood!i did a few surveys and also deleted over 1250 emails.Had to buy dog food and some brocoli which as always ended up witha few others bits!Out for lunch with my mum today, birthday treat from Nov, but was too pained with my face back then. Looking forward to it today thoughHave a good day allFLowers x♥️ ♥️ ♥️🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸Decluttering 2025 So far 403 / 2025

Agree with Doris, hope you enjoyed your belated birthday lunchskintYA thank you, yes hes a good'un ~ most of the time, snored all night last night and I saw every hour on the clock !! Lunch was at the ivy and it was very nice, worth waiting for.Also went into mistral and mum bought me my birthday pressie, 3 tops, all in the sale at a good price and then there was an extra discount applied at the till, so they were a bargain. Made me think I should move my birthday to the January sales every year!!!!Its cold this morning, well i havent been outside yet, but I feel cold! I have a very busy clinic day today which is good after last week. then later this afternoon I am going to try and meal plan for 2 weeks and do an online order as I have slipped up on doing this and we def spent less at the SM when I do a 2 week plan.Have a good day allFlowers x♥️ ♥️ ♥️🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸Decluttering 2025 So far 403 / 2025
