No power is occasionally useful for getting other things done XD

Getting extra help after a major surgery or anything is always useful, yay for mother in law coming to help! We did that when middle child was born, I asked my mum if she would be able to come help as J was at the business end of uni and I was useless and she cooked and cleaned and helped with eldest and because she's a librarian she also eventually and inevitably sorted out all our books despite only being there for a few weeks XD We would have really struggled otherwise.

The area you just cleared up sounds like it will be really nice once you've unpacked and sorted everything!
