oooo I meant to say earlier...
I've found myself another little challenge time, don't know if this has ever come up before...

I was making a cuppa this morning and thought I'd see what I could get done while the kettle boiled. Managed to get all the breakfast stuff washed up. It really is amazing what you can get done in a couple of minutes against the clock (kettle!)

Might be worth a try for all us tea/coffee drinkers!

Soooo... I fancied a cuppa tea and thought I'd give this another shot...

Flicked the kettle on,
dashed upstairs, hoovered hallway, master bedroom, kids rooms x 2,
very pleased with result soooo,
took hoover downstairs
hoovered hallway, living room, even moving sofas
put hoover at bottom of stairs ready to take back up, whilst remembering that a load had just finished in TD,
decided to fold all that up and take it upstairs
came back downstairs washed up a few cups and plates

and thought "Phew Ive done a lot, I really fancy a cuppa"

D'OH!!!!!

flicked kettle back on and made aforementioned tea.

Note to self, must remember to actually MAKE tea during my "teacup challenge"

Got some more done but not as much as expected - unfortunately the lady who I care for died yesterday so I had to spend alot of time sorting things out and crying, still feel like carp today and I'm sure I'll feel this way for some time as I cared for her for 5 years and was very close to her. Still, she is in a far better place now as she was in so much pain.

Haven't caught up with the thread - sorry everyone but hugs all round to those who need them
