    Morning All

    Mum's coming down today so I need to sort our her bedroom as at the moment all our clothes are in there. Other than that not sure what we're doing - DD is out playing at the moment and DS is just putting his trainers on.

    Congratulations on all the exam results yesterday.

    Anyone fancy a HHC 10-10.30?

    Have a good day all

    Hugs

    Courgette I usually put vinegar in to cover the element, and top up with a bit of water to get to the minimum. Then I boil the kettle, and leave it to cool again, then swish it around a bit before tipping into the sink (put plug in, and you can use it to clean the sink too).
    If it is brown vinegar, I find it boils over even with the slightest bit, and it tends to leave brown tracks, so I don't boil it, I just leave it in overnight, and then do the same as above with the sink.
    Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.

    Morning all

    Courgette - good luck with your homebirth. My first was born at home and it was lovely, sadly not to be with the other two. You can just leave the kettle to soak in vinegar if you can be without it for a good few hours. If not you can heat it - doesn't need to boil. I prefer the first method tbh

    Roundtuit I hope you can get your hours or something else sorted out

    Mrs Chaos it makes me so sad that your DS and DH don't speak. It must be so difficult for you, I hope things are better today x

    Lamewolf - if you've shifted your headache I have it and i'm trying to pass it on

    Shower, dailies, gardening for me.
    The birds of sadness may fly overhead but don't let them nest in your hair

    In my HHC I've

    Washed the dishes
    Put shopping away
    Filled a bag of rubbish
    Sprayed mattress with Febreze

    That's about it I think.

    Anyone fancy another HHC 11-11.30?
