    Hi everyone,

    Got sidetracked by a film and eating lunch. Will crack on with my list, and see if I can get something done by 2.30 when pigpen's last HHC (half hour challenge - as much of your list done in 30 mins) finishes.

    Tired now. Got the afternoon slump.

    Best get on. See if I can get the sausage pie made.

    I've done a HHI and brought my washing in as it was starting to rain. Going out now - not going to have time to get my other bits done before going to the hairdressers so they'll have to wait.

    Catch you later

    Some of the washing was dry upstairs, so that's put away. I put a few bits outside (it's blowing a gale) and most of that is dry now. Just one pair of jeans left out there and it's clouding up again......

    Well I brought my washing in as it looked like rain - but it hasn't actually rained yet. Washing dry enough though. So for this afternoon I need to do dining room. This is worse than it was this am coz I cleaned kitchen - and guess where al the tat went! I also need to iron - so I will iron, take maiden upstairs for clothes to air, and then clean DR. Clothes will then be aired and I'll put them away thus ensuring house immaculate!

    Looked in cupboard - only once so far.

    Pigpen - hope your mum's dog is feeling better.

    Vibes (of speed and efficiency) being sent out to all those of you on your HHC - I'm off to iron now.
