All the tidying on Monday exhausted me & I woke up yesterday feeling terrible: hip ached, could hardly put weight on right leg which also ached, shoulders ached, right arm a bit numb, felt tired...
Spent most of day in bed asleep. Feel better today but realise I just physically can't get this house tidy. Woman from council is just going to have to see it looking like a complete tip. Perhaps she'll feel sorry for us & give us a low rating. This is going to be seriously humiliating though. Can't even just hide stuff cos she's going to look round whole house. Maybe I'll put back the sign I used to have on the wall of the caravan: 'If I wasn't ill it wouldn't be like this!' although several people when they read it said 'Yes it would'.
Have had some wild weather here - lots & lots of rain & quite a bit of flooding around the area.
J been in really good mood for last couple of days, don't know why. He said teacher called boys to see him & asked what boy I mentioned yesterday has been doing to them. J told him he keeps nicking his pens & rubbers etc but didn't mention him shoving him. Still at least he seems aware of situation now.
Went to coffee morning this morning, new lady there who's a Catholic. Turned out we both went to convent schools so had nice discussion about learning Latin etc. Not many people I can talk about that sort of stuff with. She also has a daughter with dyslexia so was quite understanding about J's problems. She suggested we see if we can get any help from council with funding for special equipment for him. J got top marks in all his mock SATs except writing for which he got really low mark. Wonder if we can afford it if we should get some private tuition for him in English. He has spent so much time trying to avoid writing at school that he hasn't developed his creative writing skills at all & won't co-operate when I try & treach him.
P's Dad should be coming home today. Have to go in to town after pick up J as P has just bought a fridge for him as his old one packed up. Don't really feel like it, feel more like curling up in bed & going to sleep. Never mind.
