    I don't seem to be getting anywhere fast today:rolleyes:.

    In my HHC i

    Repackaged 3 Ebay parcels
    Folded dry washing from TD & put away
  • My HHC turned into a 45 min C, as I sewed up my two bras- I decided they had been waiting to be done long enough and I've been wearing the same one for ages :o so will be able to wash it now! And I washed up and cleared the worktops so can make a start on the dreaded chilli.

    Going to have a rest now and do an HHCook at 11:10 - join me if you can!
