    Hi,

    In my HHC i

    Put dry dishes away
    Washed up
    S & S Kitchen
    Folded washing from TD & put away
    Wm x 1
    Put washing on airer

    Pigpen / Toots can i substitute the attic for the landing? It's got loads of boxes on there with my car boot stuff in that need to go in the attic. I was going to Ebay it but it's taking up too much space and i want to be able to put my airer back there instead of in the Dining room. I can get OH to get 1 box down at a time to Ebay.

    I'm going to see what else i can get done now before 2.30.

    Greenbee - His meeting is due to finish at 4. He is a small hire corsa (his company Volvo clutch failed after 13 months and is in for warranty repair :eek:) so not ideal.

    The silly dog just burnt himself on the wood burner :confused:.
    Poor thing is probably freezing (dog, not DH)... as for DH - might be worth checking the traffic news for him and giving him a call when his meeting finishes to update him. And remind him that he needs to be sensible, so if he can't make it all the way safely, then stop off somewhere rather then take any risks.

    Managed to iron three shirts during my team meeting :D

    Off to fill up the stove and switch on the heating. Cold has finally beaten me!

    Good afternoon everyone :wave:

    Very good day here starting with the Christingle at school. Over 200 children with a lit candle is an amazing sight and so lovely that they're still allowed to do it. Mind you, half the parents were issued with buckets of water and wet tea towels just in case - the children were at more risk of drowning than anything else!

    I don't know if I've done lists or not but the house is starting to look fab. I'm just doing what needs doing and finishing whole jobs instead of flitting which I'm very good at.

    Four children for tea tonight...I've made cookies for them to ice and take home. My daughter also made a cookie for all my clients with their names on which I thought was a lovely idea.

    Right, half an hour before school pick up and then things get busy so I'll try and catch up with the thread this evening.

    Big hugs to everyone xx

    Hex I don't know what to do instead. I've kept my cupboards tidy, the only things in the wardrobe out of place are two bags of Christmas presents and they'll be gone next week! No utility room, no study. I washed outside the back door today and the step which was covered in muddy dog footprints and also gave the doormat a wash with stardrops. That doesn't sound like a fair substitute for a loft though!
    4. If you dont have something on the list then it gets deleted - e.g. clean out pets - if no pets no cleaning out done - delete!

    That's you in the clear - your's is done:T ...and I'm pretty sure PP was only joking :D

    Been to town/banks/library.

    Snow has turned to rain.

    Time for a cuppa I think.

    I need to take the kids out after school to the galleria as two need snow boots and one needs a coat (I swear he grew out of it over one weekend :eek:)
