    Well done Flybabybunting!
    It is amazing what you can do in half an hour, I think you speed up and bounce around. Helps knowing some of us are doing it too, makes it less of a chore!

    Toots - at least you did SOMETHING! That's 3 carrier bags decluttered, DW prepped for the pots after tonight's tea. And, most importantly, you did pee and you've prepared dinner! Well done you :T :D

    Didn't do very well in my HHC as the kids came back from swimming at 6.50 - it's normally closer to 7.

    Put shopping away
    Opened catalogue delivery and put it away
    Half cleaned sink in the bathroom then the kids arrived back!
