    HHC finished early as it's very difficult to clean a small bathroom that has 2 toddlers in it who are taking all the bottles off the shelves and spilling their potty full of wee all over the floor!

    Level Two

    Clean shower screen/curtain if you have one/if required

    Not too bad for 20 minutes work with 2 toddlers "helping"


    I've finished 2 mins early. Manged to:

    Clean window and window sill in toilet
    Dust all accesories and wipe shelf in toilet
    Clean loo
    Hoover and mop toilet and bathroom floor
    Mop dining room
    Wash up last nights supper and todays brekkie stuff

    ETA: meant to say well done ragz. How old are your toddlers? I have 2 boys aged 2 and 4.I find while i'm cleaning one room, they are wrecking another. Sooo frustrating.

    Well I've spent my HHC - which turned into nearly an hour cleaning the oven. It still needs doing again though so pigpen can you put the oven on again in a couple of weeks when I get back from holiday please? Just got the shelves left to do which are still in the bath so I need to go and do them now.
    Anyone up for a HHC 11.45 - 12.15?

    Morning

    Mixture of sunshine and clouds here today and we had about 5 spots of rain :eek: . Cant rain till next week when I'm back at work and the 'I want it and I dont care I'm having it' in our team is off and holidaying at home :p .

    Have had a quick skim of the thread so hugs to those who need them and hope you are all having a more positive day.

    I'm going to create the outstanding list and see how much I can get done by 2.30 when I have to shower/change for my hosp check up at 3.20.

    Wish me luck theres loads on it x
