Things I ought to be doing.

Feeding the children. [half done, see below for happenings with Big, who then stormed off to her room]

Sorting things out to take on holiday tomorrow.

Excavating the lounge so that Tim isn’t living in a tip on his own for a week. [started on this by instructing children to remove their belongings from the sofa and making Big cry]

Hanging up the second load of washing.

Having some lunch.

Scrubbing the kitchen floor.

Finding the floor in here.

Dealing with websites complaining about bandwidth and storage (this website. Guess a lot of you read it, huh?)

Dealing with bank accounts that unaccountably have locked themselves against internet usage. Again.

Writing letters to send to car insurance companies.

Shopping, or writing shopping list in the hope Tim’s shoulder will be better when he gets out of the bath so that he will go shopping.

Making fudge and breakfast bars with Big to take on holiday with us.

Things I’m actually doing: vegetating on computer, finishing paperwork for work (strange slightly lost feeling there at handing over problems and my team to someone else on a permanent basis!), feeling a little mournful, reading blogs, twitter, playing scrabulous. Looking forward to a week without computers 🙂
