    well in my HHC I managed to vacuum all of downstairs, empty and reload WM, hang washing on airers and declutter DS's draw of ripped/torn trousers.

    Now need to get DS from nursery, come home make lunch and send DD2 for her nap. Then I can vacuum the sofas and underneath everything that I missed before :)

    Hello

    A quick pop in as I seem to be on a roll again. Got three carriers worth of shredded paperwork and old booklets, adverts and other such parp ready for recycling. DP took the boys to school this morning so I've been working in my PJs which I prefer

    Best go again as the reason I started my little paperwork mission is I can't find my driving licence which for some bizarre reason my insurance company want - never been asked before!
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    Just whizzed quickly through the thread.

    Mudbath - not wearing a coat is perfectly normal at that age. And, if she's anything like my two boys. She'll be walking around in a sweatshirt in the middle of summer when it's nearly 100 degrees outside. **rolls eyes**

    So who fancies a HHC 12.15 - 12.45 then?

    Monday ~ Kitchen and Dining area ALL DONE.

    Have been for my reflexology then did the dailies when I came back. One washer load finished and hung on airers. Rang DD and she is fine now. Got my Tai chi class this afternoon and it is really helping with my balance. Chicken curry made and ready for tonight.

    Hugs for everyone specially Toots. Lady L. Diva and LW.
