I'll certainly join you today plurker

We have just come out of an unexpected 2 weeks hospital stay with DS1 (he's fine now) but after leaving DP, DS2 and 18yo DP's brother in the house to fend for themselves, I have come back to slight chaos.
DP has gone off to work at some ungodly time this morning to catch up on everything he has missed.

So, it's boys to school for me then come back and start regaining some normality.

My list of things to do is as follows.

Call antenatal unit and find out when my scan is (I've forgotten Blush)
Put away dishes
Put away clean laundry
Wash more laundry
Move food to new fridge/freezer from old one
Change all beds

I'll leave it there for now, if I can get all that done I'll continue or sleep :)
