  • Can I just ask when you say HHC, does that mean you are going to Half hour doing the days list? Or just stuff you've listed yourself? I read the abbreviations that said Half hour challenge, just still not sure what it means.

    Right DS got up very late this morning and as I had a very late night on here I didn't get up either! Had breakfast and a cuppa, going to put washing out on line, then get us both dressed. DH took the car with pram in it so no shopping for baking til he gets home now! Gives me chance to write a proper list!

    So I'm going to start with Level 1 and see how I do.

    Either or:D
    I tend to try and get the lists done first, unless I have something urgent I need to do for myself;)

    Twoflower it's usually both for me, i do HHC's for my dailes and the days list.
  • Twoflower (are you a Pratchett fan?)
    HHC can be anything really that you need to do, either on the daily lists posted or your own stuff - it just gives you a kick up the bum to get cracking, especially if you know others are in on the act too.
    I'd rather be watching CSI!

    Okay I need some ideas - I have an inaccessible cupboard in my LR - what can I keep in it? So far I've thought of photo albums because I rarely look at them. Any more ideas?

    Children :p:D
