    Right I have been doing the HHC's but I'm kind dot to dotting in areas various. I keep finding washing everywhere I look at the moment.

    I'm going to due one more HHC at 11.30 and then I'm going to break for an early lunch as I'm starving.

    Anyone else in?

    Dreaming is a pointless exercise if it only serves to reinforce your own limitations.
    For my familys sake I no longer dream, I will plan and I will try and if I fail I will try and try again.
    Failing is far better than dreaming. :)

    Hi debtfree

    Yep that's right. Set a timer (if you have one) and do as much as possible in 30 mins.
    You'll be amazed what you can actually get done:)

    Taken DD1 to work, and came home via the materail shop :D
    I got some remnants of thick cotton, some cord & some toggles! The aim is to make some drawstring bags to store toys in. I have baskets/boxes, but they don't take up the whole box, but I don't want them all muddled (eg duplo & wooden blocks) I though if they were in bags in the boxes they would be neatly out of the way, but separate. i hope it works. I am ok at sewing (slow but sure, as my Mum would say :p) but I don't have a sewing machine, so could take a while!

    WM on with DD1s bedding, DW restacked :o (why am I the only one who does it properly!), washed up, S&S kitchen. Sent DD2 to pick up ALL the hairclips, hair band, bangles etc that she has strewn around the house :mad: When she has done that I can clean the bathroom (there were a lot in there!!) It drives me mad!!

    I think I will also tackle the frog that it student finance (& tax credits - as I think they will use the same info).

    Right - off I go!
