    Another HHI done, so all pillowcases done - just sheets, duvet covers and the spare sofa cushion covers left. Hopefully it'll all be done by the end of the day. I'm tempted to go for a run instead of a walk... I'll see how I feel a bit later. It'll be a very short one if I do!

    Suppose I should go and scrub the downstairs loo :cool:
  • My HHC sort of stretched out....I have

    fed two boys
    been out for a quick shop
    did more washing
    oven is "cleaning"
    dealt with downstairs loo
    sorted overtired tears twice
    put a load more clutter back in its home
    been out for a wander en famille - discovered a lovely charity shop and have some nice kiddie craft bits put by for the Easter Hols, and a couple of items for shoeboxes

    Quick cuppa then I am supervising bike cleaning :eek:

    Moam
    Although 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.

    What kind of glue do you use?


    grateful I used gungum, its for repairing exhaust pipes, it get harder as it gets hot and the hotter it gets the harder it gets.

    It worked fine and cost £1.99

    another HHI coming up :cool:

    Duvet in WM. Three rugs on line (not sure they're going to actually do much drying at this stage of the day, but it all helps!). Mattress topper frying in TD. Downstairs loo sparkly clean - loo brush soaking in the (clean) toilet bowl with disinfectant. Loo and hall hoovered.

    After this I'm going to brave a VERY short run, then do a few more bits and maybe walk up to the bottle bank. It hasn't been a very exciting day, but it seems to have been productive. Hopefully I can have a productive evening, so I can focus on packing when I get back tomorrow afternoon...

    Whats been done....
    made dinner
    loaded dw
    wm x 3
    moved double bed into DD's new room
    packed up DD's stuff that she doesn't need right now
    emptied DD's wardrobe, moved it and refilled :rotfl:
    moved cot
    hoovered both bedrooms
    put clean clothes away
    set up DD's ps2 in her new room
    moved desk into new room
    made 2 beds
    brought all tools up
    cleaned windows in both bedrooms
    bin bag dance x 2
    found new homes for hubby's hobby stuff
    cleaned all units in bedroom
    put all shoes away
    hung up all coats
    moved ariel lead

    Plan now is get the bathroom done and keep the fire going. Need to bring in clothes off the line and do a few loads that can go in the td. Really need to do something with the front hall but i may leave that until tomorrow.
    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.
    :j :j
