OMG - I have just done HHC in ROD - it was so so so bad. I have ditched 4 carrier bags of rubbish and made 3 piles of books/papers and another of note and school books for DD to sort and preferably get rid of.
Have another linen bin full of washing - all hers apart form MY dressing gown which she must have taken from my room - cheek. Also collected loads of plates and bowel and glasses - so more washing up then.

Right her bed is now clear - floor not full done but i will need to leave at 4.30 to get to Lincoln and pick her up after work so I have limited time. I am going to hoover what floor I can see then hoover the bed and remake. She has broken drawers in chest of drawers - the bottoms have popped out of the groove IYSWIM.

will also put 1 or 2 loads in WM before I leave and also wash up again.

I think I will have to do this every week while she is at work - hopefully it will get better!

I am going to reheat the lasagna from last night for my late lunch first!

Me - I'll join you for the late lunch!

Washing is in (almost dry, the rest is on the airer). I've hoovered and washed the floors in the kitchen, utility, hall and loo, and cleaned the loo. Plus I've relocated a certain amount of stuff. So although I haven't made much progress, it's improving.

After lunch I think I might go for a walk, as it might help get my energy levels up!

Hi everyone - hope you've had a great week. I've been working away from home for a few days, so no flying done, got home last night and just flopped! Well I've had a lovely lazy morning, so now I have a HUGE list to do...It's even more urgent at the moment as the MadCat Mummy is coming to visit on Friday, so the cleaner I get the house this weekend, the cleaner it will stay! Well that's the theory anyway!

I won't post the list as it will probably break the thread - basically all flying since Wednesday needs to be done as well as a few odd jobs from Monday and Tuesday. Doing everything at the w/e basically defeats the purposes of flying doesn't it? Oh well, I shouldn't be working away for a while, so I'll just have to get into more of a routine.

anyone up for HHC 3.15-3.45?!

Valli

I'm in - dot to dotting rather than an actual room...

Tilli-Tot

I'm in too.. dot to dotting

Valli

This is good!

Elf - someone here uses the term 'dot to dot' cleaning or decluttering - hopfully given time the dots will join up and the room will be clean and tidy - I think this is a great approach too. (Sorry can't remember who first thought of this)

Lol that would be me I also coined the term RoD :rotfl: although recently my dots have come a bit undotted so to speak! And it feels like I have a HoD just now :eek:

Anyway almost caught up on the thread, W did really well at swimming, he almost managed a width of the pool on his back without floats We called into Argos on the way home and bought some vacuum storage bags, they are on offer until next friday.

Miss A and W don't break up from school until next Friday they are so ready for a break now.

Sexy we went to Weald and Downland when on hols last year (I went when I was little and loved it) had a great day there. We got there soon after it opened and were rushing round at the end to see everything.

I have just been descended upon by a horde of teens, DS his friend and their girlfriends, who, conveniently, are friends.
They don't half take up a lot of room but better here than hanging about on the street I suppose.
Unfortunately I appear to be the only parent who will give them all house room AND they want to bake :eek:
they want to make DS's childhood favourite FLATJACK. Off to Morrisons then and I suppose I had better make sure they can be fed...

Tilli-Tot

Well... That dot to dot HHC consisted of
stripping and remaking all the beds,
shoving some bedding in the WM
sorting laundry from earlier and shoving it in appropriate rooms
snarling threats for the kids for later when they get home
finding what appears to be ga-zillions of stray socks

I'm off out on the town with work colleagues later (end of term...yay!) so best think about getting presentable.. it takes a while!

Hoover first maybe??
