    WM on, recycling bin taken out (they've been, but I can't see our bin - think it's taken off down the road, it's a bit windy here!) and thank goodness for the frog list - if I hadn't called Virgin today to find out about paying for the honeymoon I'd have missed the due date by a week! Also called the wedding dress shop and have my first fitting booked for 13th July :D All I need to do now is decide on shoes...

    I made the mistake of asking my freight agent how many boxes are going to be arriving next Thursday - after all, 1.5 tons is an abstract sort of number that's hard to visualise. SEVENTY TWO!!!!! :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek: I'm not sure I could fit 72 boxes in here if there was no furniture in it, let alone in the state it is at the moment!!!!
  • Anyone up for an HHC at 10am???????????????


    Wait for me ....(as I run to find my duster) children having 1 hour on wii so whole hour challenge is to get as much off list done

    How did you guys get on?
    In my HHC I sorted through an old drawer full of cables/chargers etc (any ideas what I should do with these? CS? Bin? I hate throwing things away that might be useful to someone.....hence the drawer full!! :o) I also have cleaned the sink, toilet & bath and paired socks (started with 40, paired quite a few, and ended up with 50!!!! What is going on?! I am sure i have seen these socks somewhere!) Oh, and caught up on Eastenders (as a timer, of course :D)

    WM nearly finished, so going to catch up on BGT results while i am waiting.

    In my HHC I've

    Put dishes away
    Washed dishes
    Wiped side over
    Sorted out a pile of paperwork sitting on 1 of the other surfaces

    Didn't get as much done as I'd liked because mum arrived but she's gone now.

    Another HHC @ 11 anyone?
