HHC in the hallway.. vacuum floors/stairs, wipe paintwork, fling those broken umbrellas and junk mail!
Catch up on some calls/emails

I have also – moved poorly cat up stairs whilst I hoovered and then resettled into cage in the living room (he had an operation last week and will be in his cage for a little while yet)and fed the baby as she was hungry.
