    Here I am again! The dishwasher is being replaced tomorrow so I'm pleased to see that the kitchen of grot and dining room (very col, damp conservatory in our case) are on today's to-do list. Hopefully they'll be clear enough for the delivery guys to get through tomorrow!

    Good luck everyone. :beer:
  • Just sitting down now after my HHC with Holly and Penny. I managed a load of little jobs:

    * Emptied airing cupboard & put clothes away
    * Spun/hung up more washing
    * Started off some yeast
    * Packed dishwasher with b/fast stuff
    * Brought in the milk
    * Put loo cleaner down the loos and changed the hand-towels
    * Washed up the roasting tins from last night.

    Still a load of little things to do before I start on the official kitchen clean, mainly involving food: curries, chick stock, loaf of bread & clearing all the veggie remains (and the sagging, watery pumpkin) to the compost bin....

    Will catch up with the thread while I slurp my coffee, then join in with another HHC in a short while....
