It's the only way I'll get anything done.

Get dressed and persuade DC to do likewise
Dry washing (mostly on airers)
Fold washing
Iron school uniform
Make slow cooker dinner
Wrap present
Take DS to party
Possibly swim with DD
Go to shop

Cannot be arsed but it's a mad week ahead so must get myself together.
