    It's a Flylady abbreviation so it's on the first post of this thread. It means Half Hour Challenge - you clean for half an hour while listening to music or whatever and see how much you can do - you then come and report back - basically if someone posts one then usually someone else joins in and it motivates to know that someone else is doing it at the same time as you!
