    Vanilla - hugs, I am lost in admiration that you cope as well as you do.

    I have ignored the house for days and it really shows. Why do dogs have to leave hair everwhere? The garden looks lots better and the veg plot is springing into life, but the house is just disgusting. Has to be spotless for Sunday when my MIL/FIl are due to stay. First search must be for some motivation as I just can't be bothered.

    *sneaks in pretending to have been here all week working her little socks off*

    That was left on the screen from two hours ago.... Then I went and fell in the garden, down two steps while carrying DS2, banged his head off the ground and sprained my ankle. And some nice scrapes and bruises on my arms and hands.

    So guess what? I have been keeping up if rather quietly, but Now I can't do sod all. I could put weight on it an hour ago now I can't even do that. Well I can do an online order from tesco..MIL coming up at 5 to feed kids, DS1 been off school all week not well... Atleast the house is clean and tidyish and I'm actually caught up with the ironing!

    Going to catch up with the thread and have a :coffee:

    I've tidied out four drawers in the kitchen. And looked at another one and then shut it again. Threw away some rubbish. It's not long since I did them all and they were full of rubbish again.

    Went into the garden to read for a while but my neighbour came home and started banging stuff about so after I'd read the same sentence three times I gave up and came back inside.

    Oh, and I had the vacuum out to do inside the drawers when they were empty so I vacuumed through downstairs before I put it away again.

    Ouchee Tia, Rest Ice Compression Elevation, and some ibuprofen for the swelling. Take it easy. How is DS2? Is he ok?

    Tia hugs for you and the LO - RICE is what you need - can't remember what it stands for but involved putting your foot up and cold compress.

    My enthusiasm has gone too so going to sort my seed box an dall te suff piled on top of it.

    Tia - hope you're ok. Bet you gave yourself a shock. I'm still very cautious after busting my wrist which isn't good as dd and I are doing race for life in a week. Think we'll walk most of it as the ground is really rutted where we're doing it.

    I need comfort food and bed. I wish!

    Children at my mums for tea. I'm going to more work on the computer with the tennis on.

    Hugs to all xx
