  • Joining you PenPen for your first HHC - how much can I do before I need to drop off DS at kids club?

    Moam
    Although no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending.... life is a WIP.

    Morning All

    Well the kids didn't go to sleep until after midnight, boys arenow up and eating breakfast, girls have yet to surface. WM is on but that's it so far. I'm having my hair cut later - I have no idea how but I fancy a change. I've then got to pick my mate's 2 girls up and take them to my M&D's for tea with me and they are sleeping tonight.

    Right I'll join you penpen.

    Have a good day all

    Hugs

    Ok, I need to get fit and I need to do it quickly and for free!

Does anyone else have any experience of the Fit Board or any other suggestions?? Can't afford gym membership and don't get me started on the cost of gyms.....! I pay for my DS to have swimming lessons at a local council run swimming pool, I was stunned to find that they've put a blooming pay and display machine on the car park. Crikey...off to find my happy place!!!!!

    Sorry folks!

    Have a smashing day.

    Morning all-gosh you're all so organised-and busy!!

    I've fed the cats, toddler and once I've finished my second cup of coffee I'm hoping I'll be able to see the world in colour!

    I had a nice suprise this morning, as I came downstairs to find hubby on the sofa. He's been working away all week and was due home tomorrow evening, but worked through the night to be here this morning!

    This morning I need to:

    1) Shampoo living room carpet as I dropped a cup, washed the area and left a decidedly clean area right in the middle *sigh*
    2) Hoover dining room, kitchen, utility room, bathroom
    3) Mop kitchen, utility room, bathroom
    4) S&S Bathroom, upstairs loo
    5) Wash up
    6) Do litter trays
    7) Have a general tidy up of Kitchen, utility room, bathroom
    8) Go to hardware shop and get a Y-connector for washer

    I have my parents over this afternoon and I'm hoping to get these jobs done and get the bus to and from town to buy a rug I saw the other day on offer in a store. It matches my decor perfectly and should cover the majority of my living room floor. My only access to the house is via the LR, the front door opens straight onto the street, despite all the best intentions, removing shoes etc the beige carpet gets very grubby quickly and I'm having to shampoo almost every week-eeek.

    Have a productive day everyone!

    In my HHC I've

    Washed dishes
    Stripped my bed
    Cleaned windows amd mirror in the bathroom
    Cleaned windowsill
    Cleaned bath

    So bathroom is half done - the tiles could do with doing really but that's a really big job as it's tiled from floor to ceiling so I don't think that'll end up getting done - or not brilliantly anyway.

    Morning all

    Lovely sunny day here so first wash of the day is already on the line. I've got a sore throat so I'm taking it easy today and will see if chewing some frogs will ease it.

    Morning all

    Lovely sunny day here so first wash of the day is already on the line. I've got a sore throat so I'm taking it easy today and will see if chewing some frogs will ease it.

    Same here - first wash on the line. My throat is still bad so maybe I need to chew a frog?

    I will phone the docs again at lunchtime. Surely the pain, abscesses and swelling should be going by now?

    First sunny day we've had in a long time, and boy does the house look grubby.

    I have sat in the bath admiring the muck. It's not usually sunny when i am in there! underneath the bath tap is dreadful.

    I am going to at least do the bathroom today, even if I break it down into doing little areas at a time. I will start with soaking the taps in vinegar.

    Back later.......have a good morning :j
    Yesterday is history
    Tomorrow is a mystery
    Today is a gift
