    My HHC went on a bit longer than 30 mins cos I was side-tracked looking at the best way of getting to Gatwick as we are planning to go on holiday in November, so didn't start til 20 to.

    Managed to sort washing from the basket and bedroom into piles on the kitchen floor. Have put away 2 loads of washing, wiped down the tiles in the bathroom and defragmented the pc. I also have one load of washing in TD - towels are never so fluffy if hung outside, and one in the WM.

    Will go to find some lunch now, but does anyone fancy another HHC 1-1.30?
    Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.

    I see that a few people are feeling unwell - headaches, sneezing, bunged up. I have been the same for nearly a week now and have been blaming the weather. This has been such a weird summer, can't seem to make it's mind up at all.


    I feel like I want to take my eyes out and put them in a bowl of cold water (but I'm not going to try).

    Managed to do a bit of ironing, put some of it away and hang up wet washing and reload the washing machine. So that wasn't too bad.

    I'll be back in for the 1-130 HHC!

    Before then |I hope to finish the dishes and put them away and clean and tidy kitchen benches.

    Hate washing underwired bras by hand? Same time/water by using one of these


    I bought a couple of these from ebay.com and they are brilliant!!
    They take 3 underwired bras and keep them safe in the washing machine.

    They are around $3-$4 each plus shipping

    I have never seen them anywhere here but they are fabulous.
    Only about 6" across

    You can also use them for delicate underwear, tights, stockings, popsocks etc.



    Just put laundry nets into the ebay search and you will find lots of listings.


    Tchibo are selling something similar this week. I could have done with one myself recently - I had to pay over #60 to have the drier mechanic out because of a bra wire :mad:
