    I'm going to be working on this list during the HHC, as I want to have completed a list this week. The clearing out a cupboard will probably be in the kitchen though as Moon has been messing the under sink cupboard up!

    Level One
    Tidy coats and shoes, put summer ones away for next summer or in the bin or charity shop bag as required!
    Level Two
    Wipe the sofas if needed or wash covers as required
    Wipe and water plants
    Level Three
    Empty and clear out a cupboard or drawer..
    Extras

    1. HHI or HHC doing some task you ALWAYS put off!
    2. Wipe the skirtings and window frames
    Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.

    Hi :wave:

    Just to let you know that I've not disappeared for good. I lost a longish post last night and haven't been able to get on the internet since. I suspect the router is faulty, so will have to get that sorted later.

    Hope everyone is ok.
