    Amy - I put everything back on the the display cabinet which I took off on Monday when I moved the Dr around but then didn't manage to finish it! Hoovered the hall and DR - weel around stuff anyway. Spent forever cleaning the brush on the hoover after I hoovered up a punch ball balloon but then found that the brush was all clogged up with long hair from when my mate had borrowed it - she's got 4 girls with long hair plus herself! I also got dressed.

    Good morning everyone

    Not a great start to the day as DH is bad again :o. Had to literally force him to go to work. Hope things get better soon. I hate seeing him like this. Everything I say is wrong because I get anxious that he isn't functioning at work and then he says that isn't supportive. I just don't know what to do. Anyway...

    Mrs Chaos - well done to your DS
    Mumto5 - hugs. Hope the interview goes well and things start looking up at home soon.
    Sleeping vibes to all who need them.

    All these HHC's that have already happened are putting me to shame. I'm going to have to run to catch up! Today all I have managed to do is:
    • make DH lunch
    • Make boys breakfast
    • feed the dog
    • take the boys out on a bike ride
    • take the rubbish out
    Todays list is:

    Monday - kitchen and dining room
    Level one
    Level Two
    Level Three
    Extras
    HHI

    Tuesday - Living Room, Hall and Stairs
    Level 1

    Vacuum floors and sofas
    Level 2
    Dusting, even if around everything
    Level 3
    Wipe light switches, sockets (make sure they are not switched on!!) and banister
    Clean any other glass like mirrors, pictures etc
    Clean TV, other electricals and cabinets

  • Hi there. Just a quick post as I've been flying early and just had my shower, as going for my breast screening today. Not the nicest thing, but hopefully, worthwhile.

    I just wanted to wish Mumto5 all the best, good luck for your interview, and I hope things get resolved at home - soon.

    Hex - bless little George's heart! Big, black and evil!! Bet he's a big softie inside!!! I love cats! Off I dash, see you all later, R x
