    Off sick, just feel washed out and emptyish...hopefully just some virus I've picked up.

    Daytime tv is erm...interesting..

    I've brought the washing in and do not intend getting dressed today...although that might change if I feel any better.

    Other than that I 'spose I could put a wash on and maybe declutter some rubbish.

    Hope everyone is having a good day.

    The housing Association have sent someone to look at my fence and gate. The bloke basically said that they'll probably re-site the gate to a wider part of the side path, replace it with a wooden gate and add a fence panel instead of replacing the original fence panel and rehanging my metal gate.
    Not what I want and as usual I have no say in it :mad:

    Washing put away - can't put anything in airing cupboard 'til DD2 moves her carp away from the door!! :mad:

  • Don't burn yourself out Missy moo you've done 4 HHC already. Its good your enthusiastic but its just day 1 im sure you have done more already than you had before.
    When I joined in for the first time I went a bit over board and you soon burn out and can make you demotivated I'm trying to do as much as I can in a day but won't be doing more than 3 HHC in a day as I know I'd never be able to keep up that momentum. I've got 1 more hour of work to do then I'll be doing a HHC at 2:30 If anyone wants to join in.

    I'm back!!!!

    Not sure if missymoo is having a nap, but I'm going to remake the bed, have a cuppa while doing 15 mins paperwork and then a HHI before going up the school....termly meeting at 3!!! Join me if you can.....with the housework, not the meeting!!! :)
  • I'm out, missymoo :p

    In my HHC I spent 5 mins each in different areas of the house picking up everything on the floor, putting it [STRIKE]somewhere else[/STRIKE] where it belongs and vacuumed the newly cleared floor area.

    Also received call from agency I applied to last week for 10-day temp work at end of September and they want to see me on Thur; if I pass the skills tests I should then see the client to see if I can get the assignment. :money: YAY

    Can I ask... if a stupid person heats olive oil in a pan and forgets about it :eek: when the smoke has cleared from the house and the pan is seen to have burnt on oil on the surface, can anything be done :o or is it pan-flinging time
