I'm amazed at how much you all get done in a HHC, my house must be super messy to start with (actually, thinking about it that's probably it ). DD2 has been napping since 10ish & i've managed quite a bit i think ...

ragz I only managed 3 things too - nakedness has something to do with mine though - I'm getting as bad as pigpen lol.

ThanksDustyKitten and Sarah shattered for your kind words.

My boys are 11 and 3. There is absolutely no chance of me getting my 11 year old to help. its a nightmare trying to get him to tidy his room.
My 3 year old, well, he helps in his own way. He likes to polish the doors:p Bless him.

Anyway, I know I shouldnt feel down about it, but, I do. I went to see my friend last night, she had a baby in May, and OMG her house is spotless, and I mean spotless. She was like that before the baby came along, and I used to always say to her, that she wouldnt have time to have an immaculate house when the baby was here, but, she does. I dont know how she does it. Anyway, I felt really ashamed last night when I went to bed, and I didnt feel any better when I got up this morning.

However, I will try not to let it get me down any more.

Well her baby won't be making any mess so for the next couple of months it should be.. I know what I'd rather be doing!! Don't feel bad about it.. we just have better things to do

Sexymouse I fail to see how being naked affects your ability to clean things? Surely the lack of clothes to get in the way, snag on furniture, trip you up, etc would be a bonus?;)

Hey.. I don't do naked.. unless I am in the shower.. I am dressed before I leave the bathroom.. at least in my underwear! I can't cope being nekkid it makes me feel quite ill.. so don't bring my in on your scantily clad self!

Any Scottish flybabies got their exam results today? DD sat Spanish this year, a year early but I'm not allowed to open the envelope. Need to wait until Monday when I pick her up from the airport

Right, I've dressed myself, as the nekkidness was causing such a comotion on here, and have since done quite a few things on my list, including the windows and front door brass.

Anyone up for a HHC after lunch? Say 1-1.30?
