    Well I was so into my cleaning earlier that I actually forgot that I was doing a HHC! AND I was enjoying it!! Didn't do as much as I hoped but significantly more than I usually do :) I have cleaned a corner of my kitchen that was sooooo grotty and looks much better now :) I know it's only a corner but for me it is definite progress so I am pleased with myself :)
    I'm going to call it a day now, make some natural body scrubs and facial cleansing gunk and have half hour to myself pampering before I sit down and watch films and play games with my boys for the rest of the night :)
    Nos da all, see you tomorrow :)

    DSs and I have emptied and sorted the shed. DH can't complain about not being able to find things any more. It is so well organised I feel very proud of myself. We had a trip to the tip and offered some bits on Freegle.

    jenny, I am like you today, completely forgot that I was just supposed to do 20 minutes then rest. It was very enjoyable clearing out the shed.

    Next job is our bedroom, the bed which I managed to strip this morning needs remaking. Just waiting for a DS to help me.

    boddy. It has been a weird day here today. No rain and warm enough to be out without a coat. I got three loads of washing dried outside yet we could see angry black clouds all around us all day.

    Rained on a few times here too.

    Cleaning the dyson filters made a huge difference. Really clean carpets downstairs. I need to empty and fill the DW, and refill the WM. Must do the S&S of bathrooms too as DH has a visitor tomorrow. Cant do much about the thin layer of plaster dust over everything though. Is it bed time yet?

    Reminder to self - create a new drain guard.

    Hi Mrs. G. We are a bit 'different' from the US flyladies. Shoes for instance - we don't insist they're on - we're into fluffy mules (well one of us is and she knows EXACTLY where to aim them;)

    Been to Mr T's and got a glitch - found an 8p casserole dish - perfect size for a valliteen off to uni;) - it'll keep;)

    Our bunny visitor has gone now and DD is quids in.

    Done the LR and have just finished the crossword and am about to iron (it dried beautifully and now, they're all yellow, my pegs FFP)

    have had Tea (sort of hotpot which DD wantred and helped make) and am gurgling again - feel a bit like belly.gif
