    Hmm well I did a bit in my HHC but not a lot off the list...
    Put in a load of washing
    washed up
    sorted out meat/veggies in fridge and transferred to freezer
    Tidied cds/dvds
    booked drs appt
    sorted out mail
    fetched in coal and lit fire

    Then mum turned up so that's a half hour of chatter de-cluttered. Tbh there is not much else that needs seeing to so I am going to do the floors and then sort out the paperwork/filing. Also got some forms to fill in and need to write a list of things to sort out for my appeal.
    Plus I have two 21 page articles to read and analyse for OU so that should keep me out of trouble.

    Love, Hugs n Spoons

    Printer now fixed and working so DD's school work printed out. Also got her curtain track up so now i just need to rescue the kitchen. :D
    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.

    Several more thumps of the head later (wish I had thought of a helmet Dippy) and I just need to hoover their room.

    Still need to do the entire ground floor but the boys room is one off the long term toots style list

  • Going to carry on with another HHC, if anyone wants to play :T

    Yes I will join you, must stop playing silly FB games and actually do something today! *rushes of to catch up*
  • Heelloooooooooo!!!!!!!

    Friday already.......

    Didnt manage much flying after Monday as I was so busy, dog no 2 was ill and then shattered last night so did..........nothing!

    I saw something interesting on the tv last night - labour saving devices dont save us much time as we actually end up doing more and dont know when to actually stop! Food for thought, specially about the guilt complex.

    I am going to make my own list for the weekend, print it off and put it on the fridge. Hopefully this will encourage hubby to do stuff rather me give him a list.

    Will post list in a bit.

    1 step closer
    If you wait for perfect conditions, nothing would ever get done! :T
    I'm not short - I'm condensed awesome! :p
