    In my 2nd HHC I managed:
    dusted LR
    dusted DR
    cleared PC desk
    dusted pc stuff, phone mouse etc
    tidied windowsill


    still need to clear the stairs. I've done it once today, hoovered, then piled up all the stuff that needs to go upstairs on the stairs, so I have to take it up next time I go up (clever, eh?) :D haven't been up yet.....

    right, off for a shower, then into town - banking, post ebay parcel, Mr T for DS1's cooking lesson ingredients, then school run, then dinner, then college (mum babysitting:D)

    then bed!

    Talk to you all later....

    Yes, I'm juggling and I might drop some.... but at least I'm trying ;)

    hi folks,

    I am not flying this week as I am not able to manage to. I have my trusty helpers who are being guided, ordered, supervised instead:D

    Instead I have been sitting at my laptop, when I can, and helping out on another thread. Just going to ask Penpen's advice:)

    Am now treating myself to a visit to the garden centre - Wyevale have an offer on bedding plants for Gardening Club members, which I am going to check out (though not with much hope, as I only like single-colour trays, and I bet it's all the mixed stuff they'll be discounting....)

    Love to all and hope Triker got on OK.

    Hello....been AWOL since early last week, but my foot held out and I completed the Manchester Run!!!!:j We had a really good day and I am now (reasonably) hopeful for the half marathon and I have already started my training plan by doing 3 miles on Tuesday at 6.30am. I want to do 4 miles tonight but it depends what time I manage to get the girls to bed and if DH is well enough to let the Asda delivery in. He's got man flu so is in bed. If not I'll have to go in the morning to keep on track.

    The house is a bit of a tip and as I've got a bit of time before the school run so I'd best get cracking.
