      well I was with you for the previous HHC Holly, I did the bedroom and I also fetched the steps upstairs and popped both the fans in the loft. I don't think we'll be needing them for a few months *sigh*
      The kids bought a X box elite from my BIL (who was 'upgrading' - only charged them £80 and he keeps his stuff in good nick, they also got two games for £10 each so not a bad deal) and I decided to pop the box for that inm the loft, too, while I was at it.

      Oh I hung out the bedding too - we've had a shower but as most of the stuff out is towels or bedding a blow will do them good. So I'm having a cola while I sit and squint at the PC
      *now WHERE did I put my specs?*

      I'm on a roll now and am going to do another HHC at 12.45 if anyone fancies it?
    8. Back! Got quite a lot done while Ollie was at school this morning, and he was absolutely fine. As I left him I made him give me a kiss, he said "Bye Mummy" and went off quite happily. My baby boy is growing up *sniff*. And he looked super cute in his little uniform too!

      Anyway, while he was gone I went to Mr T and the market, came back and decluttered a cuppa and some emails while I fed fat legs, then tidied his room without him untidying it behind me! Sorted some clothes for when I get a charity bag through next - they seem to be like buses around here. Then I did dishes and tidied up after my baking last night, before it was time to pick him up again. Now going to feed bub again and have some lunch, then make twinks with Ollie at 2 and try and make him help me to pick up the toys in the conservatory - wish me luck with that... Then just need to hoover upstairs now I mended it and deweb (found a mahoosive spider when I was tidying Ollie's room - he's going up the hoover)

      Let's update the list..
