    I'm not too good at this, thought the HHC was from 2.30pm til 3pm, so I have been working my butt off the last half an hour, but managed to get all dishes done and the kitchen is now spotless (shame about the rest of the house, ha). Also folded up washing ready to be hung up, running out of space. Off out for the evening quite early so gonna have shower/get ready now.

    Will get more scored off tomorrow, I will I tell you. Have a nice day/night!

    Don't seem to be getting very far at all today. I have now hoovered all of upstairs and DH has reduced our ntl tv contract which had gone up so that will save us some cash each month and reduce what rubbish the kids watch.

    Just got to check my bank account then I'm off to the shops - really not in the mood but we need some stuff for dinner.

    I think I did an hour clean instead of HHC!
    Wiped down all kitchen appliances, window ledges and doors.
    Cleaned the first two window ledges of back porch/conservatory.
    Cleaned cooker hobs
    DK I too can't be bothered to shop, I think its the weather. DS2 has gone to town so I can always text him with list so long as I am not in a hurry.

    No flying done except a HHE with DD1...she did the Mini Manchester Run and I ran along with her.

    Got my 10K tomorrow but I had a big sneezing fit last night and sneezed so hard I pulled a muscle in my chest. :rotfl:Kind of funny but it did keep me awake a bit last night. Taken a couple of ibuprofen so its not too bad right now. Hopefully it won't be a problem for tomorrow.

    FIL due round in a minute to have a look at putting a fence and gate in at the side of the house to stop DD2 going AWOL again. Then spag bol for tea and an early night.

    S&S needed in the kitchen so I think that'll be the extent of my flying today! Might change the sheets in the bedroom though for a star.:confused:
