Update on HHC

Bathroom - scrubbed, tiles polished and floor hoovered NEEDS MOPPING
Porch - all hoovered NEEDS MOPPING
Lounge - Dusted, tidied and hoovered
Hall - hoovered
Kitchen - Dishes washed, floor swept NEEDS MOPPING

Still to do:-

10 mins in girls room - damage limitation
Mop kitchen, porch and bathroom floors
Tackle my room - including the suitcase:o
HHI (got a film to watch while doing this - thanks to neighbour)
Put WM on then TD (looks like rain:mad: )
Prep stuff for tea
Look at storage options for girls room
Order work stuff (will try M&S - need suit trousers in smaller size;) )

School stuff to do/sort

Shoes - for both girls (and thanks for the offer Pigpen but 2 pairs is scarey enough for me:eek: )
Check whats bought to see if enough polo shirts etc
Find long socks for DD1 (size 11 feet but not much luck finding any in this size group)

House looks more like I live here now but our bedroom is a tip. Loads of paperwork to file - which DH seems incapable of doing:rolleyes: . Still should only be a 10 min job.

Off for a coffee and a browse for work clothes.

Serena - Its been 20 years since I was 16 but I think I was allowed out till 11pm on a weekend (think the youth club disco finished at 10.30). Difficult to remember but I do remember how grown up I used to think I was - makes me laugh looking back I didnt have a blooming clue! I dread having to do this with my 2 girls who are only 5 and 4 at the moment but with the speed kids seem to be growing up these days I fear they will expect to be out at all hours. No matter what you say it will not seem fair to her so decide what you want and stick to it. Or lock her in her bedroom - thats what DH is planning on doing - lol!

I'm on a constant HHC of wiping walls and having a well earned break. Time for cheese on toast as that is the only food in - I will have to get to the shops later!

Mmmm, cheese on toast, sounds like a plan...

rach

shell what size do you need? I've just sorted out some brand new smart stuff from wardrobe!

Pollybear

I went out to the garden for about 20 minutes, then it started raining. I got the washing in and it was still raining so I put the gardening stuff away.

Dry again now so I've put the washing back out but I can't be bothered to do any more gardening.

Made a wheat-free sponge for DD2 with some flour I bought last week. Looks OK but I don't know what it tastes like.

Congratulations to Auntie Rach

Size 16 or 14 (depends on shop at the moment it seems). Got size 16 jeans from matalan on at moment and am sick of pulling them up so its either gonna be a new belt or jeans.

Going for HHC in bedroom - should make a dent in it. Wish me luck 1.30 - 2
