Oh dear ATB, poor DS; let's hope you both get a nap later on.

Well done on saying no to volunteering job Fayolle - sometimes you have to just say no even though it's hard but it's really important not to take on too much.

Z missed the bus today and they're doing a school trip to Bristol Crown Court so muggins took her in and whilst I was out there was popped into L*dl and did some food shopping so that's all put away now.

I'm debating whether to call the Revenue to see if I can get some extra help - J now been unemployed 10 months and we're managing on what he has in his bank and the bit of money I earn. I don't know if I'd be eligible for working tax credit as I do work from home and probably do over 17 hours worth in a week.

Next job after checking stuff out online is to drag this Whippet off my lap and get a load in the WM and put away yesterday's dry stuff and then head off upstairs with my list. No typing work in yet but it's always quiet at the beginning of the week and then builds up.

So sad about the HFE incident all these years later. My DH was booked on there but he was early and caught the one before. So lucky eh.

I went on a school trip to Germany shortly after, same ferry crossing. Actually same name of boat too, just a different number. We were all pretty scared tbh. Very sobering seeing it capsized just outside the port

So by 8am this morning I'd already sewn up some trousers and pulled out a very wobbly tooth... Kiddies away to school, washer going, and I'll have a bash at those bathrooms! Glorious sun again here - bit chilly so far but I think an hour or two and I'll be able to evict the piggies out onto the lawn...

Morning all,

Sorry I didn't report in, got most of yesterday done but carried some over today as got distracted by internet searching raspberry canes. No excuse and exactly why I am where I am with lack of routined housework.

Anyway, I did a big scrub out of my bathroom on Sunday so will S&S (?) it and complete bedroom so hopefully then will have caught up.

Thanks for the list - I will do better!

Been MIA for the last week or so - too many things in RL going on so just been firefighting!
Back on the wagon this week and just about to start the bathrooms and bedrooms after sorting out my PC which has taken about 2 hours!! Grrrr.

Despite looking utterly exhausted DS is refusing to nap. So whilst he watches a film, I have:

- Washed his bedding, which is now on the line
- Polished all of the bedrooms
- Vaccuumed upstairs
- S&S the toilets
- One load through TD
- Cleared everyone's floordrobes
- Swept and relaid the fire
- Sent a couple of work emails for DH

Cuppa time now xx

Back to say I have cleaned my room! Ha! But actually cleaned the windows which is so nice - can't reach the second half of the outside window on the one that opens though. Its double glazing but so old I don't know if any of the buttons are to stretch it out or take it off so too nervous to do. Any tips for getting to that part of the window other than a ladder?

Grrrrr. Got back last night (after hr delay waiting for AA to spend 2secs whacking my brake with a hammer) to find a weeks worth of washing up on the side, a full dirty dishwasher, an overflowing washing basket and two pints of sour milk in the fridge. I am NOT happy.

Grump.
