  • Dorastar - will be nice to have some company! Luckily my oven shouldn't be too bad as gave it (and all the baking trays that live inside!) a good going over last week.

    Getting my iPod at the ready with my running songs album going (it's great motivation!)

    Any last minute joiners welcome!

    xx

    ETA: Welcome to our HHC juliejim, think we posted at the same time!

    Moam
    Although no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending.... life is a WIP.

  • Hi everyone!

    Didn't log on first thing as I thought I had better get cracking with the kitchen (never quite finished it last week).

    So this morning I (together with DD :A:A:A) have:
    * Rung British Gas (again...)
    * Made duck stock from left-over crispy duck carcass
    * Taken down one of the curtains I need to hem
    * Sent my photo/biog off to uni for website
    * Hung up a load of washing and packed away a cupboard full of dry stuff
    * Emptied the dishwasher
    * Put loo cleaner down the loos

    AND
    Monday ~ Kitchen and Dining Mess STAR PLEASE TOOTS!!! toot.gif

    Level Two
    [STRIKE]Wipe table replacing cloth if necessary..
    Clear out a cupboard.. the larder unit if yyou jave one or just the general messiness of cupboard.. the one where you stuff all things useless. [/STRIKE] Soap, bleach and detergent cupboard. Gross! :eek:

    Level Three
    [STRIKE]Wipe units and large appliances.. don't forget kickboards!
    Wipe the tops of the wall units.. lining them with old wallpaper or newspaper keeps them clean!
    Dejunk window sills, dust blinds and wash windows![/STRIKE] No window sills in kitchen, and windows only just done, but we polished the glass on three internal glass doors, and did the woodwork, too
    Extras
    1. [STRIKE]Wash light shades and clean bulbs[/STRIKE] No light shades - all spot-lights - but hoovered them and replaced duff bulbs
    2. Clean out the smelly fridge
    3. Sort out and restock baking cupboards
    4. Wash the vacuum cleaner innards and filters.. do not reassemble until completely dry!!

    My half-term challenge list (from last week) is looking as follows:
    * Finally finish the sitting room and utility room curtains
    * Finally sort the signage to the house
    * Do a garden plan for veggie garden 2010
    [STRIKE]* Finally sort out photo & blurb for uni website[/STRIKE]
    * Get 15 items ready to upload to e-Bay

    Well, curtains next, I think..... Who knows? I might even shift some of these ancient must-dos.

    Love to all (haven't had time to read back yet)

    Hi all,
    Im so sorry but can I be taken off list this week....the pain in my back is terrible and I can hardly move without throwing up...sorry TMI

    :oHope you are feeling better soon - you have my full sympathy. Have you tried icing it for 10mins at a time? A packet of frozen peas is good and not too lumpy.
  • In that HHC, I:
    got dressed
    sorted clean washing we did on holiday into his and hers, put hers away!
    put dirty washing from kitchen floor into emptied laundry basket
    went upstairs to tell neighbour she'd left her lights on yet again
    washed up a little
    did shredding

    Am now sitting in front of light box, going to catch up on thread and then do some work

    Not really that much left to do now but the next job will be the windows as I have to stand/kneel on the worksurfaces to clean them so not much point in doing them first.

    Anyone fancy another HHC 1.45 - 2.15?
