    Hi everyone.
    Not been on here for ages to post, I have been doing my flying thou!!
    I work a week behind, print the list off from the previous week and then work my way though it. It seems to work really well for me and as I like to flit around I can do a few bits in each room!!
    Have totally blitzed the kids playroom today, can actually see the floor!!

    Have got to start getting really organised when the kids go back to school, we are moving to Oz in March and I have just got so much to do. Already started to de-clutter but have so much more to do, it does really make you think about what you use/need/want when you know you will have to pay to have it shipped across the world!!

    ANyway, hope everyone is OK, I am hoping that I will be able to post more when the kids are back at school, I walked out on my job a month ago and feel that I am just starting to get used to being at home everyday!

    WIN £2008 in 2008 £1836.31 2009 wins - £91!!! 2010 wins in Oz $ 6170.... wins 2011 aprox $2000

    Ok HHC 2.15 - 2.45

    Ready
    Steady
    Go!!!!

  • Hi all!
    Sorry to hear that some people are a bit down today - must be the yeuchy weather. Sending lots of positive thoughts your way.

    Just back from work and am enjoying a coffee before I brave the supermarket with the three gingerkids. Couldn't get a decent delivery slot online so am having to pay for being disorganised!!!!!!

    After that am going for level 2 and a HHI later on.

    See you later!

    Sorry I've only just seen your question. A HHC is Half Hour Challenge/Cleaning. Basically we spend half an hour doing as much as possible and then report back afterwards.

    HHI - Half Hour Ironing which you may see people doing at the same time.

    There'll be another one soon though.

    Will jump in the shower now; packing is a dusty, messy job!:o
