  • HHC 1045 anyone?
  • I will join you Sammiell :D

    this morning I have put out the bins, recycling etc, washed out the food bin, put on DW, cleaned out the rabbit, emptied the hoover, taken 4 children to high school, then taken Little miss Sunshine to play school. I have a few hours before I need to collect her so I will crack on with the kitchen.

    DD1 has received her internet banking details, so hopefully she is transferring the £1500 she owes me as I type :j I can pay my credit card then :o

    Ok - off I go!!

  • How did you get on Sammiell & Julie?
    I managed to sweep & mop the kitchen & utility floor, clear & wipe the work surfaces, wipe down the cupboards & kickboards :j I didn't shine the sink because I forgot to do it before I did the floor :o and didn't want to tread onthe clean wet floor!

    I might make a cuppa now before I have to go & pick up from Play group :)
