    Hey Wendywitch, how did you do?

    In my 9am HHC I managed,

    Put the recycling out
    Load dishwasher
    Clean outside of fridge
    Clean sinks
    sort through new baby stuff and put a wash on

    Really could have done with longer but didn't want to push it.

    ETA Toochoosey I'm in :)

    Hey Wendywitch, how did you do?

    I made the bed, opened the windows, dusted & cleaned the mirror. Got side tracked by looking for some nice writing paper and brown parcel paper for a parcel I want to send.

    I still need to put my washing away but I've just seen next doors window cleaner turn up so want to have a word and see if he'll do my windows :D
  • My name is Nixie and I have developed a floordrobe!
    :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    So I best sort it today :)

    I have to portion up all my batch cooking first :)

    Natty Your lucky to have one that wants to be brushed :) Shadow (the gray) will tolerate it for a while, Mystic the black and white she has hang ups from when she lived with DH's exwife. She will not be brushed, its the only thing she gets cross about ever, usually she sooooo placid :( No idea what the evil wench did to her :( Toff (beagle) Loooooves to be brushed - she just doesnt really need it :rotfl::rotfl:
    You have a massive list there hun!! Dont over do it ;)

    Cat Have you ever watched Dirty Dancing? When Penny's teaching the class... "C'mon ladies, god wouldnt have given you maracas if he didnt want you to shaaaaake 'em!!" sorry :rotfl: thats what Zumba makes me think of :) I'd love to have a go. No one wants to do stuff like that with me round here.... booooo!

    Need to keep busy today - should have been my due date and DH has had to go to work, candle lit.

    Hugs sticks and spoons all round x

    Right, house wont sort itself - best crack on :)

  • Hey wendy, getting distracted is my forte lol.

    Hey toochoosey how did it go. I went a bit over but I'm just a bit over enthusiastic as its my first day lol.:

    Ok so in that HHC I:

    cleaned the downstairs toilet, sink, door, mirror etc.
    Dusted the dining room
    Wiped one half of the kitchen worktop including the appliances

    Doesn't sound like a lot but I wanted to be thorough.

    Really need to get started with the bedroom and living room as these are the tasks for today, but I find the HHC helps me get the other annoying jobs done too. Now a little sit down I think.

    Have wrapped an ebay parcel to post as the person asked for a bin price, which I added. They then asked me if I would do first class postage instead of 2nd - and I said I would - but the cheeky blighter then went ahead and immediately paid the second class invoice, and Im presuming he is expecting me to pick up the additional cost!

    They paid for second so post it second!

    At least they paid.. I have 11 that havent.. and I am sorely tempted to email them and say they arent having it now.. why do they bid then not pay.. especially when on BiN or they bid in the last 5 minutes .. the must have been online... And one muppet wants 3 things posting to Germany.. so OH needs to do 2 PO runs just for that one as I have no idea what it will cost.. might double it just for the double inconvenience.. last clown that did this didnt pay!! GGGrrrrr

    Today I hate the world.

    WM on before Squeaks washing takes over the world... she is pretty gross!
    OH swept up her flying cereal..
