    For my HHC i put the fish onto boil, drained it, hung out washing, put all clean washing in basket. Hoovered up the front room, took vase back to friends and legged it back home. Emptied out the table and put all paperwork on one chair ready to clear.
    I ten hoovered all the way up stairs and shook mats out side.

    I'm now shattered, but stil have loads to do.
    So i'm to do another HHC if anyone fancies it?
