Work laptop is back and it STILL doesn't work :mad::mad::mad:

I have had lunch (soup, tofu & salad - delicious) and sorted some books to be rehomed.

I changed my lunch to an open corned beef salad sandwich, stuffed with veg

Going now to do a HHC in the bedroom:wave:

We change our bedding weekly (Saturdays, so that Mr LW is there to assist with the duvet cover) and turn the mattress every 8 weeks. I have a reminder set up in my PDA for this. We didn't used to do it very often at all, but recently bought a new bed, and decided to be a bit more assiduous about mattress-turning.

I wouldn't want to leave the bedding longer than a week, as we don't wear nightclothes.;)

ETA I think I'm gonna struggle to do anything today, as I'm feeling mega-grotsville:(

poffgirl - have you got your water sorted out now? (sorry if you've already posted about this - can't keep up with the thread and fly! )

Yes thanks, things got a bit warmer round here and the water came back on, it must have frozen in the garden somewhere :eek:. I've been here 8 years but it has never happened before. It was as if someone had just come alog and turned the water off!!

Phew HHC over!

I'm a bit embarassed about this but i don't think I've ever done a solid HHC before! i always procrastinate and think, oooh i'll just phone my Mum, or oooh I'll just look on facebook! Can't beleive how much I've got done, I've filled the TD, emptied and refilled the DW, cleared away the dinner and breakfast things, swept the floor, and cleaned the mirrors in the kitchen and the bathroom (3 big ones!) :j:j
