Bed changed and sheets in WM.

How can someone who dislikes (and avoids) cleaning have so many different cleaning/dusting products, bits of kit?

Afternoon all, it is a cool but dry day here today.

My list for today

• Do lambing shift
• Spend an hour writing up uni notes
• Laundry x 1 load
• Finish sorting out my diary for April
• Dust the living room
• Make a payment to uni for fees
• Make a payment to credit card
• Phone the hairdresser to make an appointment
• Take DD to the stables so she can do some work with her ponies

I think that is everything that I need to tackle today. I hope everyone has a lovely Saturday.

The day started well but it's now hit rock bottom.

Yesterday I met my friend for lunch and a catch up and to exchange Easter goodies.

I had to get my Dad some razors so I then went to my parents and ended up staying there longer than planned. Hence nothing got done at home.

Today (in no particular order) I opened the upstairs windows to air through. Made my bed, sorted out the litter tray and swept the floor.

I did one load of washing, half went on the airer the other in the TD. Another load of washing was put away.

DW was unloaded and part reloaded.

Two mugs of Hot Cross Bun flavoured coffee drunk. Several video calls from DD2 received, as usual, she does it alot.

I then started making a batch of soup for the freezer. I went out to empty the food waste bin. Got talking to my next door neighbours and forgot about the soup til the smoke alarm went off!

I sorted all that out and put the DW back on. Burnt saucepan soaking in the sink.

Sometime after this I received another video call from DD2 basically telling me she'd just received a letter saying her landlord wants the flat back and she has til the beginning of June to get out. Why do these letters always come on weekends/holidays when you're not able to talk to someone about it?

She does have some rent arrears but has a payment plan in place for that. It's been very hard for her as she's on a 4 hour contract and can't guarantee what hours she'll have from week to week. She's had problems with UC due to earning too much one month and not enough the next etc.

Anyway, as I'm not in the position to help her financially and nor are my parents it looks like she'll have to move back in with me, which neither of us really wants. We get on so much better since she moved out after having troubles when she was here.

She is obviously very upset and says she doesn't care what happens to her as long as I can look after her cat.

I'm obviously not going to see her homeless but as you can all imagine this is now a very stressful time.

I've asked my friend if he can get DD2 some boxes as his parents own a corner shop which will help with packing up.

DW needs to be unloaded now and I'll have a go at scrubbing the saucepan but I don't feel like much else now, even my appetite has gone.

Thank you all for letting me unload, BTH I don't have anyone else really so it's nice to get my thoughts and feels out xx
