Cat trays emptied BEFORE the binmen arrived.. trays washed.. just looking for the end of Henry so I can vacuum the mess and then they can be refilled and my house will honk less hopefully

Fridge and table and sides all wiped

Sink bleached

Hands washed so many times I feel like I have a problem!

If anyone is in touch with ASB, send our love and say thank you from me. I use her trick of putting freshly boiled water into a flask all the time. It has made such a difference. 
Back later x

I have just texted her and she has replied.  She sends her love to everyone and says "I think about you all so much xx"  She and her DS are ok, but her daughter hurt her arm in a bad sporting accident and needs further surgery   The animals are fine - they now have lambs and more hens than ever, so plenty of eggs  

I have S&S'd the kitchen, hoovered the LR, checked the bedding plants and straightened my bed.  Bathroom next.

Clothes washed and dried days ago put away.
Bedding changed and now swishing in machine.
Bedroom dusted.
Bathroom s&sd.
Rest of house hoovered.
Dog walked.

Lunch being scoffed.

Just ARGH!!! I now have a new bestie.. MIL's social worker, 1 call yesterday and 3 today (I missed the first 2).. What do any of them want me to do???? I am 100 miles away.. not next of kin yet I am the one they are ringing! Like I don't have enough to do here!

My tummy is not happy.. I am concerned about doing the school run..

All hard floors mopped, exercise class done.  Washing merry go round still ongoing.

Nearly 4 hours at the allotment!! The fact that only a part of it looks better shows you just how out of control it is. Came home, ate lunch whilst multi tasking. Remembered that I probably ought to get some fresh food in, so grabbed a Mr M slot for Thursday, which DH will have to deal with. 

Bathroom cleaned, Trusty Toothbrush  brought into action, and again whilst I emulated Round and tried to diagnose the wm issue. I have used white vinegar and a toothbrush.  See if that does the trick, otherwise I think I have found the spare part that might solve it. Just need a Mario Plumber to fit it. Hmmm, maybe I can do that too.
Kettle is on if anyone wants a cuppa. And I “found” the custard creams if you fancy one. Then I need to sort a couple of plants out in the gh and get some more salad seeds in. See just how nicely I can avoid dusting etc when I put my mind to it 😊

Well done Fayolle.
All Tuesdailies are done but it's pouring down here now and my washing is wet.  I hate it when the weather forecast is correct.

So.. today ..

Finished work just after lunch to go to the hairdressers.  Work was manic as ever so I quickly packed up my stuff so I could go to the hairdressers with a plan to come home afterwards and work from home for the rest of the day.  All good, hair cut, arrived home and unpacked my bags.  Err, where is my laptop?  Logical part of my brain says no-one can have taken it from the car while it was parked outside the hairdressers without me knowing.  Illogical part of my brain is panicking and was certain I had put it in my bag.  No way was I going to rest without checking.

So I drove back to the office to find my laptop on my desk.  Back home to do more work, cook a roast dinner, hoover through, put a load of washing in, clean up kitchen.  I have just nicely sat down.

Nice to hear news of ASB, but sorry to hear about her daughter.
