    In my HHC I:
    did more shredding
    online banking
    some washing up, but water lukewarm so put the boost on. Am worried now that the boiler isn't mended....
    got washing out of machine and moved the airer into the warmer room so that the washing on it will dry so I can hang out the newly done washing!

    Off to do some more shredding. Some of it's from 2007!
