Re: not coping

yeah its bait annoying. i have sheets and quilt covers to wash too but they can wait. i just put new clean sheets and quilt covers on so its not urgent. luckily theres only 2 of us here so not as much as youd have but we go through alot of towels since even with the extneded shower curtain pop still manages to drown the bathroom when he showers so i need 2 or 3 normally to clean it up plus thr towels we use ourselves, teatowels, face washers and towels for the bathroom to dry hands etc so thats the main one that alway has alot on

yeah i know but id really like it to be higher. id like it in the 90s somewhere

Re: not coping

One good thing about online learning @outlander is that I don't have to wash and iron the kids uniforms. Doesn't mean less washing but does mean less ironing!!! Have to try and get a positive out of all of this mess 😉

I've no doubt you will get it into the 90s hon. You are putting in so much effort and hardwork into this.

Re: not coping

S isn't too bad but D goes through clothes like a typical teenage girl!!!

I always used to be better with assignments then exams. I think that is the same for a lot of people.

All you can do is take it day by day hon @outlander and try your hardest (which you are already doing).

Re: not coping

lol yes thats a typical girl thing i think @Snowie im only like that when ive been around the horses. summer is generally so hot so more cooler showers and clothes changes and winter brings alot of mud normally!

Re: not coping

Most of the time I have to remind S to have a shower and change clothes @outlander !! D will have 30minute showers if we let her!!

Have you got any plans for tomorrow? Not that we can do much since to lockdown.

Re: not coping

Hoping that the weather is ok for you tomorrow then hon @outlander and you can get the interviews done too.

Haven't anything planned for tomorrow at this stage. Probably just doing some things around the house.

Just about to start watching the footy here.

Re: not coping

everything is online anyway, with lockdown i cant go around visiting people @Snowie kinda works out well cause i can do a few interviews at once then.

sounds exciting lol. ive done 3 loads of washing so far. ive managed to work out a way down the steps so im using that to my advantage even if it looks funny lol

we're watching the goonies

Re: not coping

Anything that makes it a bit easier for you @outlander is good. Hopefully you get the interviews you needed done.

Woah, 3 loads of washing is great hon, I haven't even got to one yet 😒😒

Hopefully the footy keeps me entertained and distracted for this afternoon.
