Course you can TF.

I now won't be able to do the 2nd HHC cos elderly neighbour has just asked if I could take her to Mr T at 1030 cos her friend who normally takes her is on holiday.

Well in that time, I managed to clear my desk a little, and am well on the way to completing the 32 fling boogie now. It gets to me when I can't complete a task when I'm feeling motivated, but hopefully I can get some more done when I get home.

PS hope you all had a successful HHC.

Right I managed to clean the bath, tiles, toilet and sink. Wiped the skirting boards. Cleaned the window, window frame and mirror. Sorted the smellies. Hoovered and washed bathroom floor. And finally put the shower curtain and bath mats into wash.

Off to delete my list.

Well i got a little done - filled and started DW and WM, took my medication (before I turn into the hulk!!!:rotfl: ) and sorted tablets for rest of day, shredded some receipts, filled the kitchen sink and added bleach to do a full "shiny sink" and flattened 2 large cardboard boxes for using again when I get round to doing ebay stuff. Must try harder!!!:rotfl:

I sort of look on it as built in exercise as well, and work up a bit of a sweat. It does work as well. If I could keep it up everyday I'd look like Olive Oil in no time:D but alas that is not to be.
