    In my slightly longer than HHC, I:

    put the mildewy sheet into the washer
    got out sausages for dinner
    tidied LR floor
    dusted TV, pictures and bookshelf
    printed out list and other stuff
    took picture of photo album to post on ebay
    got hoover out
    moved all DH's stuff of armchairs and put on bed
    put throws from armchairs in washing pile (cough cough very dusty)
    took cushions off armchairs ready to hoover under
    opened window to let dust out and cool air in


    Looking at that it doesn't look like much really, but it's all getting the place ready for hoovering so more will be struck off list in next HHC. I really MUST wash up today too.

    Going to put this photo album on ebay now. Not put anything on there for ages! Woohoo! Money money money! :p

    I'm sweating now it's so warm out there, I've cut the grass :j first cut of the year so had to do it on it's highest cut as it was so long but it looks heaps better, plus it's green bin day tomorrow so shame to waste it - 2 birds,1 stone. Can't find the extension lead tho so could only do 3/4 of it ho hum! still looks better, oh and I also hung out the washing, it's glorious today.

    broke22 maybe a little nap will give you some more energy, I know when I feel dog-tired I have a power nap then get cracking.

    HELLOOOO! Back from hols and wishing I wasn't, but there you go, can't be helped. I have one final day until I need to go to work so shall get back into flying - may as well start the week as I mean to continue I guess.

    So far this morning WM has been on, a bit of washing up done, and the bird food has been topped up. I also dropped OH at the station at 8am and popped into Sainsbury's for eggs and fish. Have reduced my shopping budget this month due to the hol - I usually have £150 less £20 already budgetted against the whole lamb we bought....took £75 off that to allow for being away for a fortnight but things are looking a bit tight for next week as Tesco's yesterday came to £34! :eek: I didn't think I was looking too bad until I remembered this morning that I have a veg box delivery on Thursday to! Aargh!

    Hope everyone has been OK, no dramas or traumas? Someone please fill me in if I've missed anything major!

    Monday - Living pit, hallway, stairs!!

    I keep looking at the pile of ironing in the corner, also adding to it when the washing is dried. How come when I haven't got an iron I want to iron it, yet normally I avoid it like the plague..lol

    Pigpen *hugs* hon, it sounds like you definately need to rant more often..bottling it up is not good. We are all here for you and don't mind you ranting. I think he's very lucky that you are doing his washing for him, most women wouldn't even look at it let alone wash it. But if he doesn't play ball then basically he has to learn that you aren't there for him now.
