  • Seafarers Thank you for joining me on the HHC!
    I managed to get upstairs vacuumed
    bins emptied
    kitchen cleaned
    DW on
    and bits of shop cardboard folded and put in close to go to skip.

    Going to have a wee cuppy and a sit down for a little now.

    Front hall now been decluttered. :j:j:j
    Actually looks nice in there, one bag of rubbish out. I still need to find a home for all the cd's, hubby wants to chuck them all. :eek:

    Next room is utility, at least if it's sorted i'll be able to get the wm on again. :o It's become number 2 dumping ground.
    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.

    Didn't get on yesterday as both our schools were open and after collecting the kids (yay - we have them back!) we didn't get in until 6.45pm, quick tea and then put the kids to bed. I went for a little lie down at 8.30pm and woke up at 7.30am this morning - oops!
    Jess has been for her annual review at the hospital this morning and that went quite well. DH stayed off this morning so I didn't have to battle through the snow with the 3 kids on my own to the hospital. His school is shutting after lunch so he has been told to stay home rather than attempt to get in. The twins are supposed to be in school this afternoon but the snow is crazily heavy so we are keeping them off as it is too deep for the pram and is silly just for an afternoon, especially as Jess had drops in her eyes this morning so what vision she has will be too blurred for her to walk safely.

    I finished Monday already so will work on Tues and Wed this afternoon and see if we can get close to back on track again

    Ahhh well thats the bedroom done..

    Now going to move onto some studying and get some of that done out the way too. Bit later starting it this week, but better late than never.

    Natty68 - Hun i have no idea what is going on with my email ref CCswap. I am getting yours saying you have sent it but no lists. Is it possible to pop it in a pm here? Hate to be a pain. Had similar problems receiving some emails from my mum i thought it was a problem her end but maybe it is mine.

    Still snowing here and drifting too but I am going to go face down into my books and ignore it.

    If my pipes were frozen would it mean the water in the sink wouldn't drain away? My kitchen sinks are terrible for getting blocked but they were cleaned only recently and usually a quick plunge and it's fine, but I just went to empty this mornings washing up water and it wont go :/
    So, there are these boys,
    They kinda stole my heart,
    They call me Mummy

    Utility room now done.....:j:j:j
    Loads of junk out so all thats in there now is wm, td, blue bin, washing basket and washing powder. Hubby brought in the worktop and it just about fits so will do for now. Most crap has been moved into the kitchen for the minute, need stuff put in the attic. :D

    Next is back hall which has the coal, sticks and turf and of course Bo's blanket. Shouldn't take to long and by the time it's done i'll be able to get to the hot press alot easier. I will get this house sorted yet. :D
    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.

    But you've got the love I need to see me through.
