    Have done nearly an hour in the garden. Its not a big garden. Its just two seperate squares and the bigger bit is paved. One has 3 shrubs in and the other a small bush. One of the shrubs is a buddhelia and gets masses of butterflys. I like a bit of a wild garden and each square has got buttercups in which Ive left and some lupins. All the grass and weeds is out though.

    Glamazon Will join you at 11.15and do the kitchen just having a quick cuppa.

    I would have joined but baby is crying out for food (Little b00ger kicking the crap outta me!!) - just munching some toast then we are on for 11.15am.

    YAY :T:T thank boddy and froddington - I'd probably still be in bed convincing myself I needed the extra sleep if it wasn't for this thread!!

    sexymouse you are firing on all 4 today!

    I think it helps that I have a kitchen the size of a postage stamp since we moved house - I really miss my nice kitchen in our flat, but maybe one day we'll be able to afford to do up this one, cos it's not so much the size that's a problem, but the design of it. Had a similar problem in our old flat before we redid the kitchen.

    Well done to everyone for all of your accomplishments during the HHC - you've all done lots. :T

    OH is watching a film at the moment so can't vacuum until he decides to take a break - it's a DVD. He'd got quite a bit of washing up to do that has piled up next to the sink (he wipes that down when he's finished now as I've trained him well - sometimes he goes over the other worktop and the hob as well if he's feeling really enthusiastic, as he can see that I work hard to keep them clean).

    I'll join you a bit late holly to put a couple of loads of clean washing away. Better go and do it now. .....................Zooom!
    Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.

    I would gladly swap with you today. I think I've only done about a third of my enormous kitchen.

    Since I only did (all) my cleaning on Friday and finished with the dining room on Saturday it hardly seems worth doing it today so (if it's ok) I will work on my admin list and over on the Organised Christmas Thread it's Rudolph Day - the day they start their xmas prep :eek: maybe those of us who like to be ready should go over there and leave Soappie et al to their blissful xmas free summer LOL

    I googled ready steady go in the images and copied and pasted - I'm sure you'll be able to copy and paste mine.

    One load of washing put away, one to go.
