Not a good washing day.

It is not a drying day here today, and I didn't trust the weather yesterday either. As a result I have heaps of wet washing everywhere. I may have to grit my teeth, open some windows and put on the heating, just to get some stuff dry.

But I had to wash. I finally ventured near dear heart's pile of 'clothes he has worn'. I dragged out 19 shirts - yes, nineteen! Not to mention socks, undies, t-shirts and one or two casual shirts. Dear heart cleared around little bear's room. There was a heap of clothes that needed washing about two foot tall. Then there are the usual heap of towels, my stuff and cleaning rags.

The cleaning rags are a bit of a sham, really. The whole house needs a clean, a real deep clean. I keep talking about it, but I talk a good housekeeping. It doesn't actually get done. And yesterday was yet another takeaway. I would be ashamed to let anyone reading this see my home.

I'm with you on the cleaning - my house is desperate for a good clean but there just isn't enough time in the day to do everything, and so it keeps getting a "lick and a promise" or a wipe over the top and it still needs a good sort out. The loos are clean and the kitchen is hygienic, so the dust will just have to wait!!

Hey, praise where its due. You`ve managed a big clothes wash and looked after a toddler while feeling rotten yourself, a great achievement. And dust never hurt anyone, it just keeps coming back

Thank you both - you are being very kind. I keep telling myself I can only do what I can do, and that is all there is, but it doesn't always help.

And I do aim to be better, so that is at least something. I just wish that my home didn't look like a 'before' picture.

But thank you for the hug - very much appreciated! WS
