    HHC Finished !!!!! WOOT

    Ok in mine i totally cleaned out the cuboard in my computer Desk threw away a whole binbag of stuff .. my cuboard is now totally empty as i boxed up my uni stuff and threw it upstairs ready to go in the loft out of the way.

    Hmmm what am i gonna use this cuboard for now???!!!
    What about having a shower and then cleaning after you've finished (usually how I do mine anyway :o ) that way, you only cleaned up after yourself to keep the bathroom lovely and tidy after he had put in so much effort!!! ;)

    Good plan :T i wanted a both today anyway... and the kids have cleaned their teeth so the sink needs a quick wipe too haha
  • Hi all, i've not been on here this wk as sadly my mum passed away sunday and cleaning has been the last thing on my mind. I have got the vicar coming up in the morning though so i am going to have to have a quick clean up tonight as i don't want to look like i live in a pigs sty. I will try and get back into things next wk as keeping busy seems to help. Mum battled with cancer for many many years without ever complaining and she gave her family such a wonderful life. I will always be greatful for the time we had. Now i am going to make some breakfast and force myself to get in the shower.
  • morning everybody

    dry here at the moment and brightish so might do something outside for HH later - will see how it goes.

    funfairprincess aawwwhh poor wee soul -i am glad he tolg you though - had the bullying being going on a while and this is it come to a head or was it a one off do you think? I am glad you went to the school and I sincerely hope they sort it out - and not bury their heads in the sand! hugs for you and DS. And well done to Piper - hope the novelty doesnt wear off too soon!!!!
    scaredy cat gentle hugs for Dh - hope the operation goes well tomorrow and he gets some relief from the pain and discomfort
    greenbee well done being first - what a pair you are! And Triker beat me to it - whats the story with the tree surgeon - cant you send a cheque for part payment and ask them to send an invoice for the rest so you can get it sorted out? Or is the invoice likely to appear now that you are clearing the desk/study?
    cheapskate :xmastree: welcome back to the thread - will send you a pm shortly!
    mozzy good luck with the viewings and well done to Ds for tidying up - it all helps and it does them no harm to have a little job to do.
    princess jane you have my sympathy and commiserations!!!:rotfl: as you so rightly said - if she doesnt like it then she could help - it is yours and Dh house after all and since you work then cleaning needs to be done sometime!
    lots of patience and happy thoughts vibes for you!!!!:rotfl: :rotfl:
    sexy massive (((hugs))) honey - I hope this second 'chat' has finally got through to him - glad to see he has made an effort this morning - hope the bum tum and legs get easier as the day goes on!!!

    I managed to get up reasonably early and had my shower first and a body scrub!
    while I was in the shower I also scrubbed the walls and shower unit and have mopped the floor - well you have to as its a wet room!
    so have made a start.
    off to get my dailes done first
    toots xx
    Peace will be mine
    could do better - must try harder

    oh honey I am so sorry to read your post - my deepest sympathies to you and your family - It sounds like she was a lovely lady and I am glad you have such nice memories to hold in your heart.
    keeping busy is a good idea and even if its just little things it will help.
