Why is housework so exhausting and mildly dangerous? We've just mucked out the under the stairs, and in all honesty, it really wasnt that bad. Except I managed to get stuck under there for a moment by impaling my back on a nail and winding myself in the process, poor Gareth couldnt work out why I suddenly went immobile whilst making mildly pathetic meeping noises Embarassed Rolling Eyes All better now, but really, it shouldnt have been such a trauma to empty a space, dust it and put it all back in again Rolling Eyes Still, we did find a gallon and a half of the elderberry port we had at the skillsharing weekend, so we arent going to run out of that this year.

Think 20 minutes on the sofa with a cuppa is called for now before I work up the courage to tackle whatever needs doing next.

I will get this house sorted out eventually, it may kill me in the process, but I'm determined to tame it!

Re: Monday morning bright and early (LIST)

Nice and sunny here today, shame that a lot of my list involves being on the computer Very Happy... In addition to feeding myself and basic domestics I must:

put rubbish and recycling out Very Happy (though the bin men didn't take my recycling for some reason)
shower/hairwash Very Happy
catch up on personal correspondence
make various phone calls Very Happy one done
sort out photos for printing, so I can take them to Jessops when I go into town tomorrow
do typing practise
update financials

and I might:

do a tip and charity shop run
sew up new cloth bags
finish sock a few more rounds done - just shaping the toe and grafting off to do now

Breakfast first though Very Happy

Did a bit in the garden this morning as tomatoes are showing signs of what might be blight, so I trimmed off leaves and brought some of the fruit indoors to ripen. But other than that I've mostly dozed, as a succession of bad nights and days of doing a bit too much caught up with me... So today is more or less written off to ME/CFS (but, looking on the bright side, at least I haven't got a migraine)Wink . If I take things gently for the rest of today, hopefully I'll be OK to go into town for my eye test tomorrow morning...

My yesterday went very well: the only thing that didn't get done was the money thing.

Today's on hold for various reasons, though.
