I need to follow all your leads with decluttering.
Started taking ferroglobin today. Supposed to be easier on the stomach than normal iron tablets. Will pick up vitamin D script tomorrow. Must sort myself out.
Interesting thing happened today... well for the Caglets anyway. We discovered that our laptop (which we’ve had several months) has Minecraft on it. Not the full version. Now this is something we have said for ages, we can get it in the future when the house is sorted. Hahahaha [hollow] as I was concerned they’d get hooked on it. But TBH we have strict limits on their screen time anyway (unlike ours, clearly #hypocrite) so I have thought for a while it’s a bit silly, but also didn’t want to go back on the deal IYSWIM and they’ve never been that bothered about not having it. Anyway they have been helping for a while now, I know I complain how awful the house is but it really is a huge improvement from a year ago... but we do need to step it up as we were 11th on the properties we bid on last week. So DH and I are going to talk about what exactly needs to be done by them, for us to unlock the full version for them at £22.49.
They’re motivated for this as the free version only has survival mode! Whatever the fuck that means 😂 they did say keeping their room tidy but actually they do fairly well at that these days... but I did point out that’s because there is barely anything in their room now, most of their stuff is in our room and the living room! So I’ve told them that’s still their responsibility. They do mess things up for example when they come and get toys out that are stored in the trofast in our room.
I think part of it is going to be boxing certain toys up in the storage tubs I’ve been buying, and just making them accept that they can’t play with them AT ALL until we’ve moved. There isn’t the space for them to access all of it (they have a lot of toys, but all of it gets played with). I feel bad but I don’t see what other option there is really. We have to find somewhere to put them. I’m thinking the bottom of our (huge, room length built in) wardrobe? So anything in there is out of bounds.
I’m also itching to amalgamate any remaining BRCs. They’re building up again. Also, we need to sort out the area around the table. We don’t even eat at it, it’s ridiculous :( but the impending weaning of Cagletini is making me motivated to actually make the effort. But there’s so many boxes surrounding and under it that there’s no space.
Sorry for the waffle. Going to ditch the iPad now. Writing the above rant makes me feel such a failure of a person TBH. It’s ridiculous living like this! [plays world’s tiniest violin]
