    In my HHC i

    Wm x 1
    Cleared drainer
    Washed up
    Wiped sides, hob & bin lid
    Tidied mantles in living & dining rooms
    Put 1/2 the ironing away (the easy 1/2)
    Made beds

    Well before i started my HHC i was freezing despite my clothes, slippers, thick jumper & dressing gown. I was thinking of putting the heating on. I don't need to now, i'm nice and warm. :D I suppose i'd better do some work, i'll ba back later to do some more.
  • Good morning fly friends

    I hardly slept a wink last night I'm choked up with the cold, thats what happens when you work in the freezing cold i suppose.

    So far this morning I have
    Decluttered OH to work and DS2 and DD to school
    2xWM 1xTD

    to do
    massive ironing
    unpack at least one of the caravan boxes and put past
    tidy the livingroom floor
    hoover
    dust

    Off for a HHc at 10.15 if anyone wants to keep me company???????????
    I'm not a muggle...I'm just magically challenged
  • Off I go then catch me if you can!!!!!!!!!!!
    I'm not a muggle...I'm just magically challenged
  • In my first HHC I did lots of dot-to-dotting :D
    Off for a HHc at 10.15 if anyone wants to keep me company???????????

    I'll join to to try and join some of those dots :T

  • Hi all, would it be OK if I join you? I quite like housework but often need the motivation to get started. My DD is home mornings as she is in afternoon nursery school. In light of this I often get distracted but try to catch up once she is in school.

    Monday jobs done so far:

    All windows opened for airing the house (I do this every day)
    Son dropped off at school
    Beds made and turned back for airing (I do this every morning)
    WM on with first load
    Recycling sorted and out for collection (collected every Monday)
    Bins emptied and freshened up (I do this every day)
    Dry laundry sorted and stacked ready for ironing
    Sorted out some cupboards yesterday so moved some things in a 'pop in the loft' pile, 'pop on ebay' pile, things to bin and charity shop items moved to the garage for when I get a chance to dispose of them.
    Sit down for cuppa/breakfast and MSE catch up

    Will update the rest of the list later today when I get a chance.

    I have read the introductions to this thread and I hope I understand what I am supposed to do. If I get it wrong please let me know.

    Looking forward to reading all your posts. Hope you are all having a great start to the day.
