reasonably productive half hour, would have been more so had baby decided to play fair!
so, I :
Gave baby his bottle
put on pasta for baby's tea
portioned up mince to cool for freezing
cleared and disinfected worktops
washed up a side of dishes
Think I'll need to do another HHC tonight but won't be until later when baby is either playing happy or in bed.0 -
In my HHC I brought in and folded down 2 loads of washing, wm on again, washed up, decluttered hot spot of paperwork in kitchen, updated spreadsheets and my GC signature. Oh and picked up a few swords, why do we have so many swords and shields?
I think the kitchen floor will need cleaning tonight, and I have a date with the iron. I may even manage some knitting or reading. Off to find DS1 to teach him to cook.;)0 -
have attacked the garage :eek:
Me and DH went in, removed everything, SWEPT UP!!
then boxed labeled and put back. recycle pile, tip pile and room to get in and out
Have a few sort out boxes to deal with
Apparently we'd bought storage boxes with the intention of sorting it all out, but they take up more room if you dont put anything in them :wall:
Quite impressed with us
Only problem is that wheelie's more than half full with our sorting and bin day's a week thursday

Started my HHC at 2.15 and only just stopped!
Tea made & on.
Washing twizzled.
Bits up into loft.
An hours sorting in the loft - DH came up, so I said "what's that..."
Came down with several years of stuff to shred (maybe tonight), millions of old labels to throw away, old NCT (pre 2000
) accounts to dispose of, lots of boxes for items we no longer have, a few treasures to Ebay, sorted quickly the storage shelves and hey presto we have a much clearer space!
An hour opening & sorting said bits into piles.
Recycling in the car with rubbish to drop off early tomorrow (too much for bin collection
:o)
For once feel we've had a productive afternoon..
MoamAlthough no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending.... life is a WIP.
