    And me.

    Pressed Post Message and zipped downstairs to the freezer to do a stockcheck and debox and bag stuff, only to come back up an hour later to discover 'And me.' is too short. So, just reporting in to say you inspired me to do 2 x HHC Tooch and Greent.

    I needed to create space in the freezer because I picked 1.4kg of the ripest, fattest, juiciest blackberries I have ever seen yesterday and I couldn't cram another thing in the freezer as it was.

    I'm going to meal plan out of it for a couple of weeks next. Some of the things in there weren't sufficiently well wrapped and have feezer burn.
    Better is good enough.

    Baby May must have known about my HHC, as she slept the whole time :) didnt get one full thing done but did lots of little ones. Just feeding her whilst the washing spins ready for the line, then I'll put the DW on. Hoping to get to fitness class this afternoon, but whether we'll get out the door on time is anyone's guess!

    I'm so pleased I found this thread again, I love the sense of community on here and my house is actually looking far tidier than normal, I wouldn't go as far as saying its tidy, but it's getting there!

    How did you get on greent?

    Lets have a look how I've done...................

    You did better than me, I think - I hung up some ironing, hung out a few pieces of wet washing and then started tidying and inventorying my freezer with a view to emptying and defrosting garage freezer..... oh dear! Still, garage freezer is now defrosting and I'll refill it shortly and can hopefully find some room to put in some bags of apples and pears - I have kilos and kilos of the things to deal with!!

    Although that HHC was productive, I've crossed nothing off the list :rotfl: A batch of dishes done and lots of tidying up in the livingroom. Going to have some lunch as I'm feeling ill then I'll tackle another HHC at 1pm when I hope to cross some things off the list ;)

    Right, now I need to find something for lunch!
