    In my last HHC, I put on the BM, hung towels to dry outside, dealt with post (lots :eek: ) and did internet banking :)

    How did that happen?

    I went for a HHC and came back 1.5 hours later.... No cleaning done yet, either, but I have:

    * Opened the g/house
    * Watered my spuds, carrots, squash, soft fruit and beans
    * Picked chilli peppers and sweet pointy peppers from the g/house
    * Put loo cleaner down the loos and changed the towels
    * Emptied the airing cupboard and put the clothes away
    * Emptied and repacked the dishwasher
    * Made bread dough and set it to rise
    * Updated my shopping list for loads of stuff I remembered

    ... and made a cup of tea and some toast. :D

    Am going to drink this, and start again for 11:30am - going to do a full hour and see how far I get....

    Want to join me, anyone?

    MissH
