HHC - Ready, Steady, GO!!

Ishtar

Hi all
Hope everyone is OK? Things here not so bad, except I have yet another migraine. Seems to be a weekly thing at the moment - I need to get hold of some migraleve I think. I know exactly what's causing it - the amount of stress I'm under at the moment, can feel it like a tight band across my shoulders and up my neck. Anyway, if they think I'm cooking tonight then they've got another think coming - OH, who works from home (and who, incidentally, should actually be on holiday right now) could help out by watching the children, thereby letting me sleep it off, but no...he's far too important for that. I wouldn't mind, but come Christmas Day he'll be expecting his mum and brother to be catered for. What do you reckon? Should I retire to bed after the kids have opened their pressies? Perhaps I should just leave instructions for how to cook Christmas lunch?

Anyway, I've managed to do some more of the lists - I'm working on my own lists too and I think I'm making some headway!

Monday Mayhem..

• S&S the bathroom/s and loo's
• Clean the fridge to accommodate you bounty of food
• do a crazy HHC decluttering downstairs

Kitchen
Sweep and mop the floor
Clean fridge, wipe out any spills and bring forward anything that needs to be used
Wipe the units, kickboards and appliances
Shine the sink and scrub the tiles
Wipe window sills
Extras

Tuesday - Time's nearly up!!!

• Iron yesterdays wash mountain
• Vacuum through downstairs.. and the stairs!
• Mop the kitchen floor!
• Tidy up coats and shoes and suchlike

Living Room Hall and Stairs
Tackle hotspots, 27 fling boogie.
Vacuum floors, hallway and stairs, under furniture
Declutter, making sure stairs especially are safe
Sort coats, shoes and bags
Empty and clear out a cupboard or drawer.
Clean downstairs loo.

I'm off to feel sorry for myself...

Well the bath and shower have been thoroughly scrubbed, and a washload put in the WM during the HHC. Still got a lot of the list left to do, so going to have a 15 minute break (my back hurts from leaning over the bath) then I'm going to do another HHC.

Anyone fancy joining me 4.15-4.45?

ooooooooooouch sending you healing vibes. When DS's broke their arms earlier in the year we were told painkillers for 48 hours constant to keep the pain at bay. Which bones are fractured?

Just having my first break from the wrapping. Only doing kids stuff today. Three bits short, one to buy, two not delivered so not bad really.
