Cleaning is bad news

16 weeks now, thought I would be clever and do some hoovering and dusting at weekend and have now spent the last few days limping widths bad back and shooting pains down my leg. Oh and keep making work friends laugh as my brain is giving up, wished someone merry Christmas today. Going shopping for new trousers and bras at weekend as I feel hug already, how's everyone else doing?

  • I agree! I decided to put some clothes in the washing machine and then take it out to dry. Ended up in hospital with abdominal pains. Think I pulled something. Dr ordered rest. Glad I'm not the only one, sometimes I wonder if I'm just too weak for all if this. *Cries*. Hope you feel better soon JenBen, hahaha at wishing someone Merry Christmas!!
  • My husband doesnt let me Hoover, he does it. Might as well make the most of it whilst I can!
  • well my hubby is currently ill so I am looking after a toddler, a house and a grumpy poorly husband. It's a nightmare, I'm exhausted and aching all over and my feet are swelling! This is my week off work too - I had some strange illusion that I would get a rest! ha!

  • Oh snugglenush that's not good, try to rest as much as you can. Have told my husband I'm on strike until September, lol.
  • Hi guys, hope u dnt mind me popping in, just wanted to say dat I'm glad I'm not da only one here wit achy legs n bak after abit of housework, I can barely walk if I've had an on-da-go day, n in just a housewife, uve all got work too!!!



    I have good days where I just abt manage my housework, n bad days where I go thru minimum n still end up wit an aching body, but it's da nxt day I feel hw much I've pushed myself properly, it's like goin thru a really gud exercise day, n then feeling da aches n pains da nxt day........



    Hope u all feel better, n get to take sum rest in between days too. I feel doin lil bits of housework n havin a rest is better than having a go all in da one.



    Gud luk!!! ????
