Housework is a pain

Little bear is at nursery (no nap this morning either - I do not envy them!) so I thought - what can I do that I cannot normally do.

Well, the first thing I did was browse the internet and sample some of the approved food parcel that arrived this morning. There were phone calls, and the Lakeland parcel came. But finally I decided, after much iffing and butting, to clean the bathroom.

Little bear is a nuisance if I give the bathroom a good clean. He is either downstairs and thus up to mischief or upstairs across the landing to me and complaining. I do a half hearted swipe when I pay a convenience visit, but it doesn't really get deep down. I felt incredibly virtuous as I put white vinegar down the loo, wiped over walls and door, started on the bath... and then muscles in my back went into spasm.

I was so annoyed and so ashamed. It shows how little I do if a small amount of housework can hurt so much. So I am taking five minutes, closely supervised by evil cat, and then I will start getting all the approved food and lakeland goodies put away.
