In my HHC I've
Put dishes away
Washed more dishes
S & S kitchen
Quincy's on at 8.30 so planning on doing a couple of HHIs while I watch that. I haven't got much ironing to do but then there's the stuff on the line if that's dry and then later there will be the other stuff I'm washing.
DH decided last night that we may not go down the caravan until tomorrow morning depending on how tired he is tonight. I'd planned on stripping the kids' beds today and leaving them unmade so the mattresses could have a bit of an air and then DH can make them again some time next week but I can't do that if they've got to sleep in them tonight.NST #10 Steps 7K 2/30 10K 2/12 5 a day 3/30 NSD 0/20
