Running to catch up with JulieJim for HHC

WarriorPrincess

Have now cleaned every window I can get to without actually risking my life. Thought it would take an hour to do the ones left after yesterday. It took 3! But it's done now - & my kitchen washed & brushed up.

I've been doing all this flyladying a bit secretly. Thought I wouldn't keep with it & it wouldn't work. But oh NOTICED. And COMMENTED on improvements. Can't quite believe it!

And now - after 3hrs of windows & 1/2 hr kitchen cleaning duty ... I have to do some work!

I've put the 5th and final load of washing on the line, it's drying really quickly out there today. The plumber's here fitting my shower so i'm crossing my legs cause i need a wee.

AnW'sMum

Arghhhhhhhhhhhhh I am ROYALLY peed off! Just spied the wallpaper Miss A has in the wilko's book for £5/roll less than I paid :mad: Good job we on;y had 2 rolls, just never thought to check wilko's out = lesson learned!

juliejim

In my HHC I've

Brought washing in off line
Hung next load out
Stripped DS's bed
Put bedding in WM

Why didn't anyone tell me that stripping DS's midi bed probably wasn't a good idea? I feel like I've run a marathon! I'll get my mum to help me to make it later. Going to have a sit down for a bit now.

Hi all.

Well, I'm afraid one of today's tasks has gone straight onto my Toots list.:( I'm no longer able to get some of the heavier pots and pans out by myself, so that task will get done at a point when Mr LW is available to help.

It's ironic; Ro, Mr LW's Sis1 who left us in December, gave us a lovely set of ceramic cookware for our wedding; but I can't lift them out, as they're so heavy. It's OK once they're on the work surface, I can slide them along to where I need and get Mr LW to lift them in and out of the oven. We do still use them a lot – I used the dish for moussaka over the weekend; but I do wish they didn't weigh a ton!

I also need his help to do the pan cupboard, to get the jam cauldrons out. Again, once they're on the top, I'm fine – it's winkling them out of their storage place that's beyond me. So I hope I can be forgiven for deferring this til he's around to help.:o

Nixie I wish your friend all the very best, and sending be-calm-and-pass vibes. I know the sort of situation; there's a Lupie I know who goes through the same on a regular basis due to having a major stroke when she was 32. Hel's teeth, I don't think I could do it if that was me (the whole “driving with a stranger” thing) so I really do hope all goes well for her.:o

Tonight Mr LW and his pal are going to the opening of the local Wetherspoons beer festival - local CAMRA branch has been invited, buffet being laid on, etc. And Muggins here has to go along to drive them home. So I'm really, really hoping I can just park my wheelchair in a corner and be left alone.:cool:

fedup well done you really seem well organised and getting into your studying - hope the course is enjoyable
Warrior Princess:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:I have to giggle at you doing it secretly but well done and isnt it nice when someone else notices - mind you you should be getting OH roped in as well - thats your next task!!!:D well done for persevering with the windows - so if they appear on the list next week you wont need to do them :T- things do get easier the more regularly they are done
juliejim you need to rest and let your body fight the tonsilitis
LW consider it a practice run for your handover - if anyone strange speaks to you then try to imagine they are the people you have to meet and be very brave.

bright and sunny at the moment so I hope it stays - of to get ready and have some food.

have a good day all

In my last HHC, I unloaded the WM and put in next load.
hoovered the LR's and brushed and mopped the kitchen and hall.
decluttered myself into the shower and got dressed as Im at the hospital this afternoon.
S&S the bathroom.
Took last load out of WM and it is now on the line.

Right I really do need to rest now as I'm going the hospital on my own this afternoon and need to get the bus into town.
