    :rotfl:It does doesn't it, but I appreciate the thought!

    In the HHC, I:
    walked up and down til I had done 1000 steps,
    put away dry washing and dry washing up
    hoovered the bathroom, the kitchen, the bit of the bedroom we walk on to get fr the LR end to the bathroom, and as much as the LR as poss.

    It's amazing how happy one can feel at being able to hoover an extremely dirty floor! It's now nice and clean! Hurrah!

    Didn't do my side of the bed because I need to tidy it first and sort out the shredding - the shredder felll over and made a mess.
