Sea glad to hear DS is back at school now (is he back in full-time or just the occasional day?) but that's a shame about the book bag. A few posters have suggested it already, but would it help to bring the book bag for the journey home? That was a well earned gin!
Girlie sorry to hear about DD's breakup.
DD has been very lazy lately. When I've asked her to do anything, she's moaned about the amount of school work she has to do. But of course, she hasn't been getting up until around 11 so that's two hours of a typical working day that she's missed out on. Anyway, she's been officially on holidays for the past week and I went easy on her up to now. But it's going to change from next week. I'm doing up a daily list of chores and splitting them between us. And she'll be doing the bulk of them the days I'm in the office. I don't want to raise a lazy adult. If she moves in with other people in the future (housemates or a partner), they won't be impressed at having to share with someone who leaves all the cleaning to everyone else. Or is just oblivious to the mess. Sea DD used to be the same at that age, with toys strewn everywhere. I found it helped to plan tidying time. So, about twenty minutes or half an hour before bedtime, I'd tell her that she needed to start clearing away her toys. I'd help her if necessary but it had to be done. Once or twice I forgot and then I'd end up doing it myself after she'd gone to bed (and feeling resentful). My neighbour had a rule that only three toys were allowed out at any one time but that seemed a bit too time consuming for me - constantly watching and counting the toys. I know your DS has issues and you have to make allowances for that, but there should be no excuse for DD. As for your DH, most Mumsnetters would tell you to ltb but I'm assuming you've tried (and failed) to change him. I'm also assuming he has lots of wonderful qualities that make up for this. In that case, I hope you can get your cleaner back soon.
Wolf now that shops like Woodie's are open (do you have Woodie's in the UK?) I'm planning to get some big plastic storage boxes for Ex's belongings. DD tells me that he's looking at houses, so once he gets himself sorted, I want to offload everything. At present he's living in a bedroom in his parents' house, so I've agreed to hold onto his possessions until he moves out. I'm very fond of MIL and FIL (well, they're not my MIL and FIL anymore but they were always lovely to me and I'm very fond of them) so I don't want to make their lives any more difficult than they need to be. Ex has a partner now and I believe they're planning to move in together, so it gives me great pleasure to picture the look on his partner's face when she's confronted with all of his junk

Congrats. on your pregnancy howl. How many DC do you have already and how old are they?
Unescorted glad your Dad tested negative for Covid. Hope they get to the bottom of it soon.
em really glad your parents can help lighten the load. Great that the horse riding has started back too.
Wolf we have the exact same fire surround! I thought you'd sneaked into my sitting room for a minute. Mine doesn't have the beautiful flowers though.
Snuggly you must be like a zombie after such a broken night's sleep. The walk sounds lovely though.
In some respects I've been quite lucky with the lockdown. DD is a teenager so old enough to understand about the dangers of Covid-19 and the need for the restrictions. She doesn't need home schooling just as well as I'm rubbish at maths. Her teachers have been setting work and she just gets on with it. I'm still getting paid my full salary and there's no risk to my job when this is all over. The only downside is that I've had a lot of time to think and to dwell on things. I feel like last year I was caught up in a violent whirlwind - Ex's revelation that he wanted a separation, breaking the news to DD, Ex moving out, family mediation, the first Chrismas post separation etc. Then I went back to work full-time in January. I haven't had much time for reflection until now. Also, I came off the anti-depressant around February and that was probably shielding me from things to some extent. Mostly I'm doing ok. I have days where I'm all fired up and full of enthusiasm for doing things around the house and garden. Other days where those same things all seem a bit pointless and my house seem a bit sad and empty with just me and DD in it (and just me the weekends when DD is with her Dad). I have lots of inbetween days. Also, I'm a bit angry that Ex has someone else in his life now and is planning to move in with her. It feels like his life hasn't changed at all whereas my life has changed so much. Having said all that, I don't want to spend the rest of my life being bitter and resentful because that's a waste of a life. I think I might make an appointment with my counsellor (when she resumes face to face sessions) and talk it over with her. Also, I haven't been able to meet up with family and friends or plan fun days out. Our holiday isn't happening either.
Tomorrow I'm off to my local gardens for a walk. I haven't been there since Mother's Day. DD has deigned to come with me. I warned her she has to be ready to go by around 10.30. That's an early start for her .
Anyway, better get showered and dressed and tackle the fridge. There's something oozing in it
