    Pigpen - did you get the rain last night? It's far less muggy here today :T

    Not much!!

    I have a blinding headache which usually means a storm is afoot... so the bunnies are out now to take advantage and the washing hung out earlier is almost dry.. which is good as I have just reloaded both machines and have 2 loads waiting to go in.

    I also want to strip the childrens beds today too.. all of them!

    Sunnygirl.. will do.. and thanks... was it not Wythenshawe that recently closed?


    No...I think it was Hope in Salford? Can't remember for sure but I can guarantee that Wythenshawe is open as MIL works on SCBU there! I know they did a big move around with the Neonatal ICU beds and they were going to reduce Wythenshawe's but decided not to in the end. They're doing some renovation work there but they are still fully open.

    Wythenshawe is where my two were born.

    HHI ironing challenge completed and the fixing of the hem now done on work trousers

    Clothes put away tidily in correct places

    Sorted out one drawer in COD that couldn't stuff anything else into and chucked out a well worn out pair of pjs with another pair undecided about and tidied the drawer up and it closed better. Also found 2 bars of soap in there too!

    WM load on line drying as has warmed and brightened up

    Wm x 1
    Sorted recycling
    Put dry dishes away
    Washed up
    S & S Kitchen
    S & S bathroom
    Tidied living room, hall & stairs
    Hoovered living room & hall
    Put new clothes & shoes away

    I'm just having a much needed coffee and then i'm going to be doing a HHC at 10.20 if anyone wants to join me?
