Hello all.
Having a good day today. got quite a bit done inc cleaning front door inside and out.
Washed up 1st thing and then wiped all surfaces and cooker. I am sort of enjoying having no DW tablets. I seem to be better at keeping kitchen tidy the last few days.

Tidied front room and hoover
Tidied shoes up by front door and got rid of 3 pairs that don't fit DC anymore then hoovered out there.

Been to town for basics. Not enough money to buy much and still have no dinners. It got me down for a while but now feeling better again.

I think i have the kids cold though.
DD's not too bad. DD1's cough was worse earlier and have dr appointment for the morning just incase she needs medicine.

No contact for DD's with their Dad again tomorrow. Have just had a call from SS. Lady who supervises is still ill and has had to go into hospital.[sad Am hoping she will be ok.They don't seem to know whats wrong att he moment. She such a lovely lady. DD1 was a bit sad that not seeing daddy but fine within 2 mins!

Well done tort sorry about your cold there are some truly awful ones at the moment and poor ds lost his voice but is starting to speak in the old loud tones again now .

It is hard to keep motivated when ill so you have done really well. Re dihwasher tablets I have to do washign up since moving and was very strict but am lapsing!

Thanks GF. I am actually more keen to keep going when ill! Don't feel too bad. Throat a bit funny and nose running. Felt terrible when i woke up.

I'm not sure how long the washing up will last! i used to hate it but that was with 2 adults and 4 kids( one of those a clingy baby!) so loads to keep up with then. I'm sure it won't be long before i buy dishwasher tabs!!

DD's playing Hullabaloo at the moment!

Strange day, keep having spurts of frenzy then periods of bugger all. DS had a wholey preventable accident followed by a complete meltdown. Wen t to bed then fell asleep.

This aft my done list is
Collect DS
Fish him out of yard puddle (someone's got a blocked drain)
Change him to civvies
Load WM with his uniform
Make lunch
S&S Kitchen
Serve lunch
Tidy away
Load DW
Sweep front room floor
Swseep kitchen floor
Mop floors
Play with DS
Ds 'accident' occurs get him upstairs
Shower him
S&S bathroom
Empty bathroom bin
put DS clothes awy
Put new uniform out for morning
Put normal clothes out for tomorrow
Tidy toys away
Lay out train set

Seems train set id not good enough as DS said 'Mummy I told you I wsanted a station and the docks' cheeky blighter.

Well he's up so it's a crazy frenzy period now.

Hope all are OK and poorly Lo's are recovering
