    Who's up for another HHC @ 10.30?

    That'll give me time to pay my rent and a few other bits and pieces I haven't listed.

    Morning all :hello:

    Still not caught up with the thread as this morning seems to be disappearing fast :eek: I have to do my assignment today since I'm back in work tomorrow in theory so I'm not aiming to get much but dailies and an odd thing here and there. I'll get stuck in at the weekend though. Thankfully I did some of these yesterday and before anyone says anything, my flying week is Sunday to Sunday otherwise I'd never get it done :D:rotfl:

    Morning all

    Posting first and catching up later.

    One load of washing out on the line, along with a pair of jeans that didn't dry yesterday. Sunny and very windy but I'm keeping an eye on the clouds.

    I've done the living room - I've done the paintwork where I can see it but my furniture is too heavy to move on my own so I hope that counts for today, please Quillion :) I've also done the computer desk because that is in my hallway so I always include it with the living room/stairs.

    And, because Monday is my kitchen day, I've done that too. When the official day comes round I'll check there's nothing I've missed and then ask for my star ;)

    DH goes to work early on Mondays so I always get on quicker.

    I cleaned the cat snot off the kitchen and living room windows (it's not really snot, one of the cats has a permanently weepy eye where her tear duct is damaged).

    Although I don't really do hugs, don't think I'm not thinking about you Pigpen and Toots. Take care.

    Off to check on the washing and then catch up with the posts, and maybe coffee :)

    Lady L - I'm so sorry you didn't get the answer we all wanted.

    K, I've paid the rent, found summat for tea (spuds, fish & peas for the nebby amongst you :p ) made a brew and I'm about to empty Henry ready for the HHC which will be mostly hoovering. Need to add damp wipe LR and clean LR window to the list.
