    I really need to do something so I'll make a start. I think I'll start with a HHC in the kitchen.

    Morning all,

    Sneaking in on a list hunt after being AWOL for the majority of the week.:o

    However I took delivery of my Dyson on Wednesday so that should make a difference in the get up and go stakes for me. The mini Bissell was OK but not heavy duty enough for daily housework etc. Plus the hosey bit didn't suck to well nor did it reach to the top of the stair.

    Hope all are well. Off list hunting now..........

    Well so far I've fed Gemma, cleared drainer, washed dishes, brought all my stuff in out of the boot of my car as it was chucking it down when I got home from work last night, put flowers in water.

    DH has now got up and informed me that we are going shopping in Hanley so I need to get changed as I've got my scruffs on as I didn't think we were going anywhere.
