    Going to do 10 mins reaearch then crack on at 10:15....

    I'll join you at 10:15 toochoosey. I did join in with the last HHC but all I managed to get done was to feed all the animals and get the wood in. Will start on the living room in the next HHC.

  • I'm in again today - but have to go and do some work outside. Got a chap from the village who is coming to help me with some of the heavy digging in the garden - now made even heavier after the overnight rain!

    Off for 2hrs in the garden; then back in to tackle a nice warm lunch and the cleaning.... Starting now-ish, though the man is coming at 10:30am.

    How did you get on Toochoosey?
    I managed to get the living room looking almost presentable in the last HHC and that was with the dog and DS following me around as well! I did:

    Decobweb living room, hallway, kitchen and stairs
    Swept stairs
    Cleared sofas in living room
    Dusted mantlepiece and TV
    Took clothes upstairs to correct rooms, will put them away later when DS and baby are asleep.
    Watered plants
    Had a bit of clear of sideboard in living room as well
    Brought down binbag of baby clothes to sort out

    Living room needs a sweep again, only did it yesterday but with the kids and the dog, it seems to need doing every day. will do it later ready for when my friend comes over.

    Also need to put DS's bike back in the garage - am fed up of falling over it in the porch.

    I didn't get a lot done Rachelet....pile of paperwork decluttered, poly-pockets recycled into college file...10 minute annoying conversation with gas man at the door trying to push me into signing up at the door when I didn't have enough time to think.....he didn't get my business!!!!!
    Going to have a vreak now before going to work.

    DD has a halloween party 5:30-7:30 this evening in school so after work will be getting dinner ready, and hopefully more decluttering when she is at the party(or homework!!!)
