    Impressed with your planning bossymoo!

    Off to work in half an hour, but I've emptied and put away 4 baskets of folded washing, opened all bedroom curtains, made all beds, had a quick fling boogie - even if stuff has just be dumped in other's rooms, at least it's off the upstairs floor. All bedrooms and bathroom being aired through as I type but my word, it is soooooo windy here, my sash window is rattling like a gun.

    Just placed a Next order for OH which should hopefully arrive tomorrow. Just going to hoover upstairs whilst OH is out on school run and I think that'll be me done until later.

    Must wrap pressies tonight and hand deliver the remaining cards tomorrow.

    HHH starting at 9.15 - Ready! Get Set! GOOOOOOOOOO!
