    Debt-free and Proud!
    Morning all,

    Sammiell - I'm in with you. We can take over where AnW's Mum left off. I'm on a bit of a mission and will be doing loads of HHC through the day and asking for flying mules to keep me at it. Got delayed by a phone call but running to catch up.

    My stairs are a black spot more than a hot spot. I don't think I can sort them out a lone though....which pushes them to the weekend.

    Huge hugs to Nixie and everyone else who needs one.

    I'm so behind (not even made beds and opened all the curtains yet :o) as only just got back from GP - my appointment was at 9.10 :eek:! She's so good she always overruns - she takes her time to listen to you and says don't worry about how long it takes; you've come to see me and gives you 100% attention which is just what I need. She's really pleased with my progress so far :T.

    OK, going to be lots of HHC going on here and I must do my typing and walk the dog today. Who's up for a 10.30 HHC?
    Flymarkeeteer: £168 and counting
  • Phew - I'm back rather late from 3xHHC - thanks for the kick-start, A&W's Mum.

    In that time I have:
    * Made a loaf of bread and set it to rise
    * Stripped the chicken from the bones of Sunday's roast and made stock (simmering now)
    * Made a Murghlai Chicken curry from scratch (not a sauce jar in sight!!!)
    * Emptied the airing cupboard
    * Spun and hung up the washing from overnight
    * Cleared up bags and spices from the cooking, and wiped the surfaces, but not washed up yet
    * Looked in the fridge and worked out what to eat for lunch, to empty a load of dishes/leftovers in there

    OK. Quick cuppa, then it's washing up and out in the sunshine to sow a few leek seeds in the g/house. After that: the living room. No - I'm not putting it off, but how can you ignore that sunshine?

    Catch you all later - will chase after Mumof2 at about 10:45am

    MissH
