I do lots of writing and that does help. Tbh what would really help is a clean house. I manage to clean the bathroom and kitchen daily, and do the laundry and hoover. I's just the mud on the floor from the dog that I don't have time to deal with every day and it's not his fault. The garden is a bloody swamp with all the rain we have had. Things will be better in spring. Or if we get a decent winter like we are used to with proper freezing temperatures. The damp winter is pulling me down and not helping with the housework. Nrmally at this time of year we don't go above freezing for weeks on end and it is much nicer.
Good news, the physio thinks LO now just has a cough. The worst of the bronchiolitis is over. Woo hoo.
I have the name of a babysitter who is a trainee vet nurse and also looks after people's animals when they are away. I's time we met. Maybe she could walk the dog for me a couple of times a week and get to know the children so we can get out for an evening from time to time. He's a big bouncy dog so I al not sure most babysitters would be able to handle him - he's lovely but tends to get his own way if you'renot used to dogs.
