Plum - yay for doing the VAT return. I am rubbish with admin things like that, I always put them off and then get cross letters from people! And nothing ever takes as long to sort out as you imagine it will!

CC - not much to fill in really. Having a crap time with my brother still, it's just going on and on. I'm starting some counselling next week to try and work through my 'issues'

I am all headachey and full of cold again today, sooo fed up of being poorly now. Have had a lazy morning in pjs with DS but he's down for a nap now and I must get on and get the house sorted before my friend comes over. She wouldn't judge, but it's good motivation to get it done!

Alright ladies, 'tis I wasting. Missed you!

Had laptop issues, then we were in Butlins, then I've been busy. The whole stalker issue the other week really soured MN for me, but I can't be doing without you all.

Tomorrow:-

  • DS boobed, changed and dressed
  • Me showered and dressed
  • sort clean washing and put away
  • clean DS room window
  • bring in milk
  • breakfast
  • fold dry washing
  • dry pots
  • clean cooker
  • keep eye out for window cleaner
  • clean bathroom
  • general tidying
  • lunch
  • washing round to FILs
  • tea
  • DS bath and bed
  • tidying up
