    I'm in the middle of lots of different bits of the list, but downstairs at least is definitely looking and feeling better! Rug from the spare room has been washed and is drying outside. My bedroom rug is in the machine. Duvet has been on the line for a bit and is now in the TD to make sure it dries completely and is nice and fluffy! Kitchen surfaces are half done, and half the kitchen chairs too...

    Well I've just been out and done a bit more food shopping (8 muller yoghurts for £2 in sainsbugs at the mo, so got 16, so that's yoghurts for lunchboxes sorted for a few weeks at least).

    Have just taken one load of washing in off the line, and when I've put it all away, I'll hang the next load out. Kitchen is looking nice and sparkly now, but need to hoover and mop the floor before I can get my star. I know some of you have only just finished a HHC, but does anyone want to join me in one 3-3.30?

    Where on earth has the time gone today?

    Have got all of the windows open here cos it's roasting!

    Hope you're all enjoying your weekends. Well done zippy for getting all five days done before the new thread - that's my aim today too (fingers crossed that miss pigpen doesn't post too early tonight, or I'll never make it, as trying to get a lot of the extras done too to make up for last week).

    Afternoon all,

    I've spent the last 3 hours gardening so i've come in for a break. I was weeding the border but had to stop when i got a hole in the finger of my gloves. With all the brambles in there i'm not doing it without.:eek: So i carried on with trimming the conifers instead, i've done about half of it now. Neaveh and her DD are on their way over to see the bunny.

    Well done for flying when you are feeling crap, fedupandskint, and God bless.

    Thanks, it has helped me even tho I am thinking about it all of the time, at least the house isn't doing my head in aswell thinking about all the chores I should be doing.

    It has helped my mood slightly, until tonight when I think it will probably drop so I am going to have a bath, facepack, re touch my hair dye up, a hair pack, paint my toe nails a bright colour and rehydrate my skin to the point of no return to try and reduce the dehydration wrinkles a little.

    Off the mop the kitchen floor and clear the table, then just the spare room to do for the final room.

    HHC was interrupted by OH coming home from shooting, but managed to finish putting away 1 load of washing and hung out 2 other loads. Washing line is now full again, so will have to wait until some of it dries before I can do another load.

    Also managed to drag the hoover downstairs, declutter a bit of the coffee table and sort through some of the post that was lying on the sofa. Place looks a bit tidier, but don't know if I'm going to manage all of the lists before the new thread. Need a little sit down now, cos I'm boiling from all of the hanging washing out and rushing around. Off to find a cold drink again to stop myself becoming dehydrated.
    Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.
