Wow, that was fun... my first HHC as I am usually too late when you post... Didn't do tooo bad, did the following:

Made my bed
Put a cake in the oven (takes 2 hours to cook...)
Tuesday Chuck!- Master Bedroom & Landing
Level 3
Sort through a cupboard and fling everything that is dead Finally sorted hubbys wardrobe out (have to do it while he's out...;) ) so there is now a pile on the bed that I want to throw and when he sees how nice his wardrobe looks now, and how he can see at a glance what is there he will definitly throw them - and if he doesn't they're not going back in - I'm going to put them in a black bag in the garage and tell him that if he REALLY wants one then he can go in there to get it then! (ooooh, hope I manage to get that all out... :rotfl: )
Extra tasks list
Clear out your spare linen.. all those holey sheets, manky duvet covers and stained pillow cases.. FLING!! - have everything out and have thrown a black sack already! still towels to go through but most of bedding done...

Ooooh, feel a lot lighter now, it's amazing how invigorating a throwout can be...:D right, off to attack those towels and the rest of the bedding then onto the bathroom I think........

when I had mine you could have false negatives polka, but I don't know if theres less chance of that now though as the tests seem to have improved so much.

My bedroom is all done, my next HCC is to sort the box of books thats cluttering up the bedroom.

Back from my HHC, bit late but more jobs done;) . Kiddies room all tidy till they get home:rolleyes: . Sorted through the uniform stuff I have already bought, made a list of a couple of bits I could do with extras of and have named all their stuff.

Filing I have decided can be done over the weekend unless I get a burst of energy after having a cuppa. Am running out of stream now. Had back ache all day but it now seems to have moved to my kidneys so not sure if I have got an infection on the way , not something I have ever suffered from but its just a constant ache.

I need to get some bits from the shop for tea and DH asked me to get him some cash out and he needs to get his hair cut in the morning. Can I just go to bed instead now please:o .

Right, I'm off to do a HHC in the kitchen 4.15-4.45...anyone joining in? :rotfl::rotfl:

Gosh Toots - even in a tiny font that is one huge list!

And thats not even half of it - I only wrote down 50 (now 41) but i am getting nowhere - i am not even managing pigpen's list now - I just feel hopeless - it will never be any different. the bits i do manage to do are ok but there is so much that needs doing anything I do manage is lost IYSWIM.
I feel really frustrated today and now I am crying and I hate feeling sorry for myself. I just dont know where to start.

You should get that checked, and start drinking plenty of water too, that really helps...

Arrrrh Toots have a hug - I feel like that - I haven't stopped for days and there is still so much cleaning of the floor/surfaces to do, so much stuff to put back and I haven't done a thing in the rest of the house all week.

Going to see if the small part I have washe is dry to polish and then on to the next patch.
