    Ok done the bathroom, other than mopping the floor.

    Now I think it's time to bake some cakes - since it's on the list :D and apparently we are meant to be dumb list followers who just do everything they are told ;)
    I think piggers' alter-ego started that thread... next week's list will say send the cakes to her and go round to do her flying... :p

    :rotfl::rotfl: I'll join you in that - we are out of snacks so best create some before tea, in fact my junior chef may wish to help?

    Since my last HHC, I whizzed into work for an hour and more sorting/clearing there (we moving about the building) - stardrops & marigolds will be required tomorrow...:eek:....its minging in places, but not for long.;)

    Right - now where did I put my list?

    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.

    LW I forgot to come back after my 15 mins. I have been very sensible today and taken things easily. I sat on the floor and sorted some fabrics into a box so that when I feel like sewing I can see where things are without having to search through bin bags.

    pigpen, I am doing my own flying ATM:D Lists are being followed by the men of the house.

    Now the dog wants to go out so I am off for a gentle walk.

    whooops a piece of freshly made, still warm, chocolate fudge brownie just happened to fall into my mouth :D

    Lemon and lavender cupcakes are cooling... just debating whether to freeze some or just ice the lot and give some away (though think they are likely to be an acquired taste :rotfl:)
