    Hugs to choccy and momofjusttwo

    I'm in again, thanks to Toots, Pigpen and soappie for getting my house to the point where we no longer need to hurdle stuff to get through the front door:rotfl:

    I have done nothing today other than unload and reload the DW, sort the kid's for school, reload the DW and walk the dog. Looks quite a lot now it's written down;)

    And I am starting my HHC with Toochoosey - 5 mins late now!

    And I shall NOT be talking to LadyL... Well - not unless I absolutely HAVE to...giggle.gif Does talking to LadyL count as a HHC? (guess it does if it's a half hour chat...)giggle.gif

    I'm in. We've had a sickness bug for the last few days....DD2 is currently lounging on the sofa - I can't decide whether she's skiving or about to throw up - hopefully skiving. DS back to playgroup, I'm still a bit shaky so I'm in, but gently! _pale_

    Off to tidy the living room then hang out the last of the pukey laundry.

    thanks all.

    choccybix Hugs. It is never easy even when you are aware of the situation.


    well HHc tuned in to an hour.


    De-cluttered living room, moped the floor, tidied the table and wiped it and hoovered the stairs. Doesn't sound like much but is looking better already.

  • Haven't really got going this morning, but want to start flying at 11:00am-12:00noon to see how much I can knock off my list and the Living Room list in that time.

    Living Room isn't looking too bad, except the coffee table and the fireplace, but I've got some dailies to tackle first.

    Thanks to Toots, Soappie and Pigpen as always.

    Going to start a few minutes early - if you see me dashing past, please join in!
