  • Well that HHC turned into a WHC (whole hour challenge) or should that be HHCx2?

    Sorted clean washing
    Cleared dining table, wiped mats, new table cloth
    Hoovered DS2 & DS3's bedroom completely, including under beds and behind bookcases - it's a red carpet in there!!! It's been that long since I could see it, I'd forgotten :D
    Hoovered our room, just about to move the wardrobe, hanging rail thingy to hoover behind it (spotted rather a large cobweb yesterday :o)
    Hoovered landing
    Hoovered bathroom

    Another 2 calls from DH re car.....needs transporting home, courtesy of RAC....turbo problem...... RAC say it's had it (so car's scrap) but I don't give up that easily!! This has happened before and a very nice diesel diagnostic place sorted it....turbo gate just needs cleaning out (hopefully...fingers crossed....only cost £100 last time).

    Just going to call the garage for DH - he has a phone phobia and won't ring people.....

    right, off again for another HHC....want to finish hoovering upstairs then do the stairs on my way down and then hoover everywhere else! :D

    Anyone joining me?

    Notso
    I'm not so tired & not so desperate..... mainly thanks to MSE :D so just call me Notso.....
    Yes, I'm juggling and I might drop some.... but at least I'm trying ;)

    just decluttered the post.....there's a letter from DS1's school - they've put him on the Gifted & Talented Register for Maths and Science :D:D


    What a clever boy :T:T:T:T:T:T:T:T

    chuffed to bits....... :j:j:j

    Now back to hoovering.....

    I am busy doing some very slow flying. Mainly sorting paperwork and finances.

    Doing what my mum used to call 'robbing Peter to pay Paul'. Really sorting out another 0% credit card.

    We had no internet most of yesterday and this morning so I have loads to catch up on:)

    Also have a new craft club I have joined to visit this afternoon and then church for Lent service.

    Not sure how I will fit in the rest of the flying but I do have a very willing helper here.

    Todays list
    Sweep and mop kitchen floor DS1
    Clean kick boards where I spilt cornfour
    Clean cooker top
    Finish grouting tiles.DS1
    List ten items of clothng on ebay

    pigpen That is how I get DH to do things. He always takes over from me.

    I'm actually pretty good at not splattering.. The only place I usually get pain is onthe finger I run along the edge of the tub once I have filled the roller tray.. :p.. OH thinks he is the brush!

    i'm terrible, i just create more mess than anything else :o. oo its nearly dry, think i'll be doing another coat shortly.

    Had a nightmare this morning, DS2 (leto) managed to trap himself in the upstairs toilet this morning. I ended up having to talk him into getting the vase off the window ledge, climb on top of the toilet and open the bathroom window. Its a good job theres a ledge outside the bathroom window and his room. So there i am in the rain catching a 6 yr old as he is climbing out of the toilet window. I swear i was more scared than he was. DS1 (brandon) my little hero then decides i'm too scared to go out on the ledge so he dives out jumps into the other open window and un-jams the door. Comes out and goes " i've done it mam!". So the rule of no locked doors is back in force.

    **Groans** found yet another box of paperwork and old files and work diaries. I don't know what to do with them as some have confidential info in from past employment. Includes my Uni work from **ahem** over 10 years ago.:o
