Torn between a rest day and weekly home blessing. Rubbish sleep last night due to wind outside and having drunk too much water before bed, so I'm tired today.
I did clean the fish tank though, and part way through my dailies, just needed to sit with coffee a bitMarried 40y.o. mum of an autistic 11y.o. Carer/SAHM.

I have accomplished absolutely nothing today.
We dropped the girls at various school.. went to Tesc0.. bought necessaries.. put £20 of fuel in the car.. got home.. school rang.. can we pick up Squeak.. put away shopping and head off.. halfway there I remembered I had some things to take to the senco, kicks self..
I have loaded the DW and taken coco-parrots and the headache is still lingering.. I have fed it, watered it, .. eyeing up migraine meds if it is not gone soon.
I have a parcel to sort when I get back from girl collecting.
I need to check DS2's legs as well.. I think (Dr Google!!) he has 'Disney rash' .. a form of vasculitis from walking too much.. commonly seen at Disney resorts.. he is very sedentary and has been doing school runs as well as job centre, dance class and music lessons so is suddenly walking so much more.. I am going to keep an eye on it for a couple of days and get him in drs if it persists.

I think I’d like to join in …not sure I’ll keep up tho….
does it matter which way around I do my rooms?I usually have my list of ‘dailies’ that I do. These are split into ‘morning dailies’ and ‘evening dailies’
Morning. Dailies
make beds.Wipe over bathroom ( sink, shower cubicle and put bleach in loo)
clear away breakfast in kitchen
1 load of laundry
I usually do bedrooms on Mondays , Bathrooms on Tuesdays, Kitchen on Wednesday, Hallway/living room on Thursday and Friday is grocery shopping day.
Evening dailes
packed lunches for next day
Clear kitchen away
clothes ready for next day
Living room straightened up before bed.
So ….. today I’ve done my morning dailies, I’ve been to Get Pumped, called into Mr T ( purchase a new mop) wiped over kitchen doors and cleaned tiles and surfaces.Made chicken chorizo past for tea.
visited mam to pick up her library books and pegged out some laundry as the rain has stopped 😃
just going to make a green side salad and then do packe lunches.

Thanks round x
This morning, following a cold start, we have sunshine. So far I have
- shuffled money
- talked to Rosie
- checked my meds order and added collection to my to-do list
- chased some more possible ancestors
- ruminated on last night's looooong church council meeting (not a bad one, just a lot of business)
- conversed with DH over breakfast
- hoovered the hall, LR and study
- S&S'd the kitchen
- showered and dressed.
That's not a bad start. I need to remember to do my shoulder exercises before I go out.
Catch up later xxx

This morning, I’ve…….

2 loads of laundry done inc changing a bed and on the line ( until it rains…. Again 🙄)
Did the laundry shuffle, taking dried clothes off the airer to the bedroom and putting away.
Read a few chapters of my book
been to the village florist/ gift shop for a birthday for this week
Called into see the new beauticians that’s opened and had a chat
called into the butchers but didn’t have what I wanted, other than to tell me that my mum is now more wobblier than ever. She’s 82 and lives independently across the road from me. I see her everyday and I can see there’s an issue but she won’t accept it 🤷♀️. It’s upsetting really and when I do mention it, she’s brushes it off.
Right moan over….
left to do today…
Thursday is living room and hallway day, so……
brush the stairs down, damp duster and wipe surfaces , clean wood burner and Hoover.
possibly mop the hard floors as well.
land then think about tea!!!Oh yes and somewhere in there, I’ll be thinking of this weeks shopping list and doing the money shuffleGrocery spends £193.44/ £70 per week or £303 per month9
