    Well that HHC didn't go to plan :rolleyes:. I wanted to put the animated series of Dr Who on the Pc for Ds2 to watch but it wouldn't work. He then had a complete meltdown and it took me ages to calm him down. I've made a Chilli and put it in the SC but that's about it.

    I'm going to do another HHC at 2.00, hopefully that'll be more productive.

    Hi everyone

    So far today I have manged my dailies and had a general tidy around. Paid my bills online/over phone(even remembered ebay), great news 1 debt totally paid off, another 2 with just one more payment to go. Made lunch and decluttered the kids back to school and now I'm stuffing my face with left over HM rice pudding it's not as good as yesterday I've eaten all the prunes. DS2 and DD were presented with gifts today at assembly for collecting old mobiles for fundraising for the school. DD got a skipping rope, modelling clay and cutters and a goody bag, DS2 got a pencil case made out of old car tyres, a certificate saying he has donated trees for planting, a frisbee and a goody bag, guess what I'm picking up off the floor later ???????????(answers on a postcard or a stuck down envelope)

    0002020B.gif Triker glad your husband is OK.

    Hiya LL - I'm thinking flashing, multi-coloured lights but the ones with the big bulbs (like a full size lightbulb). Alternatively you can go for tasteful small, twinkling white fairy lights but that's just no fun!!! I'm also wondering if we could have a full size light up santa on the back and maybe a christmas tree on you knee. Please tell me if you think my ideas are over the top or tacky:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:.

    Kazw - what a lovely way of thinking about it. Yes, he's adorable when he wants to stop and talk to all the neighbourhood cats. I just didn't see it like that at 850 this morning!!:rotfl:

    My list from hell!

    Thursday ~ Bathroom and Study
    declutter floors
    Scrub the bath, loo, basins
    Empty and wash out bins
    Scrub tiles and polish mirrors
    Vacuum/mop floors
    Clean out and tidy cupboards
    Shine the taps with one of the old ones
    Prescriptions to doctors
    S/S kitchen (again!!!)

    Christmas list
    Print of Christmas card list and add/delete (weekend)
    Empty wardrobe, drawers etc of unwrapped presents - sort and wrap (Friday)
    Take presents to parents that they've bought for children (weekend)


    Mmmm, that's a little bit shorter!

    HHC challenge 230 till 3 anyone???

    (I'm doing my bit-of-this-bit-of that-off the -list-according-to-the-layout-of-my-house thing)
    and I must get the floors mopped and dried before DS lands back

    ***zzzzip!***
