Was very productive last night after work - WU x 2, lunches made, general admin done. Tonight by contrast very little done.

Mumof2 - you can do an online benefits check to see if you'd be entitled to some help. Working from home or from an office doesn't matter or tax credits, although you may not be working quite enough hours. You may get some council tax relief. Type 'entitledto' into the gov website and it'll give you a calculator. If you just ring tax credits they will advise about tax credits but perhaps not other things. HTH.

Home after a long day, not helped by traffic lights round a pothole which is adding an hour to a 20 minute journey!! Needless to say, there has been no activity to fill in said pothole...

Anyway, WM now run and washing hung up, bedroom dusted and bedding changed ready for an early morning WM run tomorrow. I got distracted by the vacuum cleaner, and decided to clean the head and empty it out. Not quite sure why, but I like to think it is so that I can work it to the max tomorrow

Dinner thrown together, and kitchen tidied. Lunches done for tomorrow, and that's about it. Oh looked up some possible places to money shuffle before April :money: Must write a shopping list for tomorrow, then probably bed.

parents eve - not done much

FBO not surprised you're annoyed - had he noticed it all and assumed the magic fairies would deal with it?

I excelled myself in poor coordination in zumba this morning and actually fell over! One minute I was standing on one leg, then I sort of moved my weight to the leg that was in the air.....embarrassing.....everyone was impressed how quickly I got up! Didn't do my dodgy shoulder or arthritic toe a lot of good.

Just one student to teach today, so managed to finish and send another report and am half way through the next.

Went to flower club this evening.
So not a fantastic day for flying, although it's really fairly under control at the moment. Well, apart from my handbag which is full of peas....bought a load of seeds at the garden centre at the weekend and one of the packets must have been dodgy so they have all escaped.

Hope all the sick people and their families are feeling better.

Doobop thanks for you advice. I actually did a online eligibility checker and it looks like I could get £400 a month so that would be fantastic to take the pressure off a bit until J is working again.

Narco oh dear, sorry you fell over - that balance stuff is very tricky you know. Hope your shoulder is OK. Had to smile about the peas!

LW no lovely, killing isn't allowed. If it's any consolation I get exactly the same thing and J thinks nothing of walking right through my freshly vacuumed floor with his boots on.

FBO bet you were fuming - I would have been.

After I posted yesterday I had 5 jobs come in so apart from taking Z to her school awards ceremony I worked right through til 10 last night. I was meant to be riding this am but I've cancelled as got more to do. It's our wedding anniversary today - 14 years; how quickly the time goes.

Will try to do what I can from the list. But for now - cup of tea ......

Morning all

DS slept all night, hurrah! Here's hoping he continues to improve. So far this morning I have fed everyone, made the beds, unloaded DW and stuck WM on. Will be pegging out again today :j

Need to do some paid stuff, and really want to catch up with Call the Midwife from the weekend.

Have lovely days all xx

Washed up, dried up, put away

Morning all. Deep breaths LW and FBO. Good news on what you may be entitled to Mumof2.

So yesterday before the paid stuff, I cleaned in the downstairs loo, wiped all the switches downstairs and cleaned the tiles in the kitchen as well as walking the dogs. Then in the evening I made curtains.

I've done ironing this morning. Still have 30 minutes so I'll take a quick look at the list.

Please sling any posivibes this way please, DH and I certainly need them this week.

Have a great day everyone.
