    Quick question, as I haven't had time to read through it all.........

    What is HHI?

    Half Hour Ironing


    I have been and cleaned parent's house so mine is only getting level 1 today. Have had hair blow dried & straightened at hairdressers :D
    WMx 2 done.

    DS1 options evening went well. DS2 was in trouble for kicking children at his after school club last night.

    Off to prepare dinner DH &DS1 are having gamon streaks & pineapple & home made oven chips & salad. I'm having chicken with the same. DS2 is having his usual.

    3 of 5 dancing shows tonight

    Thank for clearing that up guys.
    Ah well, don't have to worry about that one then!!!!! I iron maybe for about 10 minutes, every couple of weeks.

    (he points to some plastic cows on the table) are very small; those (pointing at some cows out of the window) are far away...

    More handwashing done of the large items, it was when I was washing traybake style tray number 5 that I realised I probably have too many.

    The washing all dried and it's folded and put away. Then I cut the grass again - had the first cut last week but it looked a bit raggedy so I've done it again and it looks much better now. Also "whiffled" (lightly forked over) the front border and swept up. I whiffled the back last week. Much tidier. I thought it was cold today but I'm much hotter after that lot!

  • This is my first posting since I joined on Monday and what do I have to report back with........Not a lot:(
    I was all ready to tackle the list but on the way home from work I had a phone call from DS1 school to collect him as he was unwell. He had a migraine which made him sick so for the rest of the day and Tuesday I crept round trying not to disturb him.

    Although-

    Kitchen- Level 1 and 2 DONE :) and still looking fab.
    and I am pleased to say that my bedding was on the line before I looked at the list on Tuesday.

    That's it so far. Here's to a better week next week.
