    How did you do in the HHC?

    HHC later at 1.30

    Plenty of advance notice for those who CBAs! :D

    Well in my HHC I had my shower, washed my hair and got dressed :D Made the bed properly, even put the comforter over it :) I also culled the magazines by the side of the bed - I ended up throwing every single one into the recycling bin. And sorted out what we are having for tea tonight - chicken in apple and cider sauce pie :) Just got to go and get the pastry mix as I really can't make it myself..lol

    Will join you for another HHC at 1.30 poohbear :D Gives me time to have lunch...

    I did 2 x HHC
    I have cleaned 3 kitchen cupboards, but that is inside, out and on top which was very very grim.

    Having caffeine now, then I will do a bit more

    Have cut the front lawn , well I say lawn but weed patch might be a more accurate name for it. That has exhausted me - quite a work out!!

    Now time to put lawn mower away and have a bit of lunch, I think

    Hello all.

    (((HUGS))) for Juliejim sorry to hear about the redundancy.:(

    (((HUGS))) for TAG; and wishing Mousey Cat a peaceful journey to the Summerlands.

    Not only was I stupidly late getting to my pit last night, also been up since sparrows fart, as Mr LW starts at 06:00 when he's wfh.:eek:

    Made Shepherd Spy, half of which we ate for dins at midday, the rest will be for tomorrow night's dins, as Mr LW is on late shift, so will be home when he gets here, iyswim. Also did some prior preparation on the carrots and orange, ready to make a cake of that type tomorrow, hopefully.;)

    By cleaning up in the kitchen as I went along, and by making sure to do it thoroughly, quite a bit of today's list is done:

    Monday ~ Living room, hall and Stairs
    Extras

    1. Empty and sort a cupboard or drawer
    Wednesday ~ Kitchen & dining area
    Level one
    Sweep and mop! Done by Mr LW:A
    Clear and wipe worksurfaces Done
    Level Two
    Wipe units, tables and appliances Partly done (table and trolley)
    Wipe out fridge Done prior to F&V run Saturday
    Clear and clean tops of freezer and fridge Mr LW to do cos he can reach better than me
    Level Three
    Wipe over oven and hob Done
    Degrot a small appliance
    Chase a repair you have been wanting done for ages.. even if it is just nagging OH again!
    Gather up all the dirty laundry Done – and hankies, napkins and towels all washed and dried, too!:D
    Extras
    1. Clear and wipe window sills
    2. Wipe internal and back door.. both sides! Done by Mr LW on Sunday:A
    3. Clean out the microwave Done
    4. HH-doing something you hate doing but needs to be done.. be that ironing, mending, exercise, gardening... get it done! HHYoga that I don't really have spoons for, and I hate doing when Mr LW is here cos it's embarrassing when I end up unexpectedly on the deck!:whistle:
    He's finishing work at 14:30, and we have some errands to do in town, so I need to go and put some warpaint on shortly; but not before asking you good folks for some positive/coping vibes, if you'd be so kind.:o

    I have instructions from the rheumy to get a blood test done in advance of my next hossy visit; and 07:40 tomorrow morning is it!:eek::eek::eek::eek::eek: I am seriously needle-phobic, and am absolutely dreading the whole thing; I've informed them they'll need to let me lie down or I will faint, but it remains to be seen if that message gets passed on to the nurse, and indeed, if she's sympathetic (I've been told before not to be such a baby, then they wondered why they had to scrape me up off the floor!)

    Whether any Flying will happen tomorrow also remains to be seen - if I have a really bad time of it, a blood test can knock me sideways for 24 hours; but we'll see.

    TIA.:o
    If your dog thinks you're the best, don't seek a second opinion.;)
