    Not enough progress being made here. Shopping delivered and put away and kitchen done except for the floor but it's taken all morning to achieve that - so much for making the most of my day at home! 2 hours until I need to leave for school pick up - I feel a few HHCs coming on! Anyone care to join me in my first HHC starting at 1.15pm?

    How are you getting on LMH?
    In my HHC I have hoovered the whole house and paid the window cleaner! Not as much as I'd hoped so I'm going straight into another HHC to see how much of the bedroom list I can clear.

    Frooglefraggle don't try and do everything today! Maybe just start with Level 1 - then if you can keep on top of what you've done it'll be easier to add a few more things next time. Good luck!

    I have hoovered the middle and bottom floors and swept the hard flooring, taken a load of washing out and folded and then general tidying up :)

    Need to do a bit of studying now before my Mum arrives for a visit:eek::cool:

    The story so far.....
    I'm washed and dressed so is DD, DS2 still in bed
    WM on just spinning so next load will be on in a mo along with the TD
    beds made, washed up, S/S kitchen, LR decluttered, Hoovered-hall and LR,
    DD has made her bed and tidied the floor in her room, picked the washing up from various locations and deposited in the basket, stripped the cushion covers of her sofa, and plumped the cushions in the LR.
    Made DD something to eat.

    Just going to do the WM and TD now and then have a coffee then brush the dog and feed/clean out Rabbit.

    Good afternoon :D

    It is exactly 1 month until we go on holiday :j:j need to get organised. I need to get someone sorted to walk the dog on the days DD1 may be working 12 hour shifts and I have decided that I need to lose 1 stone :eek: (need to lose more than that, but I need to be realistic :o) So, I have been good today and I have walked to toddler group, done 15 mins on the Wii fit and walked the dog. I need to go shopping when I finish work (boo!) and I will buy some 'good' food :)

    I also must, must, MUST do some paperwork tonight :( My accounts are way behind, but so is my EYFS paperwork. Priority is EYFS, so I shall set myself a target of doing at least 2 hours on 1 folder. I am really hoping that I don't get inspected before the summer break :(:eek:
    Washing done - will put on one more load later. DH attempted to put out the washing, but as he was finishing it started raining, so he brought it all in again. i came home from toddler group to find the heating turned up & the tumble drier on!! :eek: LW - DH obviously doesn't do the hokey cokey either :p Sending you some spoons, as it sounds like you could do with them today :)

    Hello hello hello thanks for the lists. After DP took day off yesterday and we ended up out all over the place, getting home about 8.30pm I've decided today to start so I'm on with Monday's kitchen and dining area list for now :)

    I'm still working on the basics as the benches are a tip! I've cleared a lot and got a couple to work on. I got new kettle and toaster weeks ago so wanted to get those out but DP set me the challenge of rearranging/organising the kitchen better first as they're larger than the other ones

    I hope you're all doing well xx
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    I've done the best I can with the lounge and hall; it all looks OK, even though I haven't lifted up the heavier ornaments to dust.:o

    Nipped out with Dilly after the downpour, and we got our walk done in the dry, thankfully.:o

    Mr LW has decided he wants to go to the cinema tonight, so I'm very grateful for the spoons, GI.:D I'll turf Dilly into the garden for 10 mins before we go, and give her a treat - there's a selection in the tin she brought with her - and she'll be fine for a couple of hours while we're out.:o
    If your dog thinks you're the best, don't seek a second opinion.;)
