    Hi :j

    OK then - name and shame time! I found 81 :eek: pairs of shoes under the bed [STRIKE]crammed[/STRIKE] neatly lined up in under-the-bed storage thingies. Think I will achieve the fling boogie easily!! I am now putting red stickers on some pairs as a final warning to them - if they pinch, rub or make me blister, they are out (they might behave better when I get back to wearing socks/tights, so I'll give them one last chance!).

    Getting them back in the storage thingies may take some time. Is there help anywhere for shoeaholics?

    J

    I've done 3 HHCs this morning - about 2 hrs overall, since I extended two of them to get jobs finished.

    Lunchtime now, and then I'll have another go. I'm happy with the kitchen and bathroom for the moment :j and a HHC in the living room should do it, but the 3 RODs (dining room, DS1's and DS2's rooms) are going to be the real challenge. The freezer repair man is coming tomorrow :eek: and the exchange student on Friday :eek:, so I'd best get on with it.

    See you all after lunch.
  • Yes - lunch for me too.

    I've done about 1.5 hours so far on the Living Room, and I'm about 1/2 way round the final end, I reckon.

    Not going to climb into the fireplace down this end for two reasons:

    * It's too full of logs at the moment (we're using them so I'll wait till stocks are lower)
    * I've got the chimney sweep coming on Monday, so I'll have to clear up again then, though last time he created no mess at all (used a clever Hoover-thingy).

    Hmmm..... Toast beckons....

    Soappie - top news

    Just had to collect DS3 from school as he has a rash on his tummy - I think it is from diving on the astroturf at football as he seems fine - not happy as no pilates again for me.

    The Queen has got the right hump, has managed to get her sock off and I can't put it back on by myself so am having to watch her like a hawk.

    Lunchtime I think.
