    I've been Money Tipped!
    Anyone for a 10 o clock HHC?

    Today my house is at that point where it could tip either way into perfectly neat and tidy or becoming hard work to get to get right again.

    I'm not doing bedroom as it is a two person job: I won't tidy DH's stuff to places he can't find, we do it together when its got this bad :)

    Back from the dentist and side-tracked for a bit by the caravan thread while I had my second cuppa. Time for a HHC from 10.00, if anyone would like to join me. I'll start with the dailies (laundry, DW, DS2's breakfast etc).

    ETA Will join you, Lostinrates.
