    In my HHC (Well 1 hour) sitting room has been hoovered, sitting room fully decluttered, cushions plumped up, rechargable batteries sorted out (none were charged)and 6 are currently charging (i didnt realise i had so many there are about 50 AAA & AA), sitting room drawer hot spot cleaned out and everything not needed binned, kitchen surfaces decluttered, one lot of washing put out to dry and another back in the wm.

    Thanks to everyone who joined me i needed some motivation and it helps that i had to tell everyone what i did in the hour so cant be too lazy it would just be embarassing

    Having another HC@6.45 if anyone is up for it again!!!!

    In my last HHC I
    Remade bed
    Refed TD
    Emptied airer
    Folded some laundry

    Then got interupted by 10 hoodies on bike banging on my door asking for my DS1 (2nd time today) 1 teen started swearing at me etc. I then had to go and fetch DS1 from his friend's house as they were going to get him. Dinner plans ruined no one had an appetite. They has been no repeat so far but DH is pacing up and down.

    I may need to tackle some frogs to keep busy
