I take it you mean the Cholera Burial ground? The best time to shoot pics of that would be during an Aviva fire practice - that's where 2 offices assemble....

That'll be a Half Hour Clean. If you go to Pigpen's first post on page 1 there are lots of helpful explanations for the deluge of abbreviations on here.

Off to collect my list - thanks for not making it the Dining Room today Pigpen. Having spent the whole weekend doing my mini catering service, which involved being up at silly o'clock, driving to venue, grafting all day, driving home, baking and prepping more food before grabbing a few hours sleep and starting all over again ......... for some reason, all I managed at silly o'clock last night was to put perishables in the fridge, eat and drink (for what felt like the first time all weekend!) and sleep. Currently the dining room is a serious clutter of packed boxes ......... and more cake tins than I knew I had!

So. Plan for the day. Clatter upstairs so that OH realises that the day has begun, it is sunny, and it is therefore time he joined the land of the living ........ which Mr Dog kindly reminded me about before 7 this morning. Tackle the Living Room (no hall here) and make sure everything has been removed from the Dining Room to its rightful place before Pigpen's spiders have chance to report back.

Oh, and discuss with OH that the fact that as I have not been around this weekend I would particularly have appreciated some of the little things in life, like the DW being emptied, and the washing put out the airer having been done before now.

Excellent weekend event for me by the way - had a text last night from one of the organisers to say that on the feedback forms from the delegates, the only item scoring Excellent from everyone was the Catering! :j:T:j:T:j I don't have a very good opinion of myself, so am sadly very happy about that!

Off to do some flying. Mrs Dog has already switched the DW on for me. :eek:

I am off to work from 10 - 4 so not planning on a lot more other than that today, but am day off tomorrow and from Friday I have 5 days off where I really need to start to get to grips with housework, so the lists people post here will be a great help.
My daughter will be hoovering and dusting the lounge today while I am at work and also taking charge of washing up
Hope everyone has a lovely day, it is sunny here this morning but definately frost in the air x

If we give you an xmas tree out Official meeter and greeter will be able to spot you and send you a PM with loads of hints and tips in it
HHC is half hour challenge or half hour clean
Toots or asbotoots will explain all that in the PM.
