    HHC turned into a HHC x2 in the end. In that time I unloaded TD and folded and put away the bedding and towels from the last few days washing. Sorted through and put away all the items that dont need ironing( I was thinking of doing HHI but cba) Tidied DS's drawers and sorted out the clothes that are too small, which will be taken the chariety shop tomorrow and made list of what he needs. Made Dogbots and my lunch and tidied the kitchen afterwards.

    Now I need to sit down with Dogbot for awhile, OH, DD and DS think I've been very dedicated in ensuring Dogbot has lots of rest but TBH its more for my benefit than his ;):o:D

    Done next to no flying today, we've all got the cold so it's been a telly and tea day

    WM made it on twice though which is something!

    Quick census question while we're on the topic - anyone not got theirs yet? They'll be pushed to get ours seeing as we're moving house on the 28th and they still haven't sent it yet!

    we got our census through yesterday and I completed it online straight away.. before I forgot!

    It is for the house not the family and who is there on the night of the 27th so you should have it before then I would think.

    It actually says fill it in on the 27 March 2011 or as soon as possible afterwards so don't stress yourself just yet:D They will then do follow ups once they realise which have not been filed so no need to panic just yet.

    Invigilating done, just having a cuppa and then I'll put the washing on the maiden too late and too cold to bother with the line and then I think I'll give my knees another go on the wii.

    Hex - it's cold here and I'm much further south

    In my HHI at 12.30 I decluttered some soup then ironed for 20 mins before quickly changing clothes and going for a gently training walk with my walking buddy.

    My leg feels quite tight but doesn't hurt. I think I will declutter a voltarol to ensure nothing starts to swell up.

    Still got some ironing to do so I'll stop typing and get on with it.
