What is HHC please mrs-moneypenny? EDIT: found it on first post, half hour challenge! I thought it was strange that google was telling me it meant either hand held computer or Hexham Horseless Carriages!

You managed to do so much in that time!! How?!

I cleaned our (very small) bathroom, stacked dishes and thats it!

it looks more than it was, downstairs in our house is just lounge kitchen and hall, so sweeping through is quick, kitchen and hall arent that big and both have stone tile floor so a quick mop through after sweeping. i just plug the dyson in downstairs and stretch the hose up as i do the stairs, the washing up was just a few breakfast pots. i find if i join a hhc i get more done as it gives me a focus.

done work, dh has been fed and gone back for the afternoon shift

need to motivate myself to stop looking through black friday deals and do something productive

afternoon everyone. got some stuff crossed off. and had a nap so its kind of been a successful day while LO was at school.

got some more nappies so hoping i will have enough when they come and don't end up with a short fall. i've got washable liners and washable wipes too :money:

got all of babys stuff now ... only slightly gone over budget if you include buying the nappy set up but not including that im about £100 under budget so im quiet pleased

christmas shopping complete. need to sort out under the stairs before Bubs makes an appearance and move all the decs to the front of the cupboard ... so many people have already put up there tree. i love xmas but even for me it feels too early ... when does everyone else put theirs up. ours normally goes up around a week before xmas. (DP's Bday is 17th dec) ours normally goes up after DP's birthday around the 20th and comes down around the 10th of jan (LO's birthday is the 12th jan)

Cat cuddled to calm me down.

I totally forgot how much space we have in our bedroom, we still living out of boxes and they where in front of the window so instead of doing the floordrope, I moved them to a different part of the room and refolded everything... room looks decent... I'm starting to wish we never stripped everywhere before moving in... but it will get done eventually...

My own list I only wood filled DD cupboard doors, tiny little holes I noticed while glossing so last coat will get done tomorrow... I was going to prime down stairs doors but they were filthy so instead I cleaned them and they'll get done tomorrow or Friday

If it's gone it's done

Wednesday ~ Master Bedrooms and Landings

Extra mission tasks, as always if you fancy an extra challenge try one or more of these

• Check through drawers, anything that should have been thrown out ages ago?
• Cobweb removal upstairs, go on grab a duster and swipe them down
• Clean a set of curtains, nets or blinds
• Clean light fittings and light switches in any room, more than one if you like
• Plan your shopping list for your christmas goodies.. don't forget the turkey! If you are ordering stuff from local shops.. pork pies/meat etc get it done this week!

Having a quick coffee before picking up DD and DS

My youngest's birthday is December 9th, so I would never put the tree up until I'd done her party. I always strove to separate Christmas and her birthday.


Ironically - she is the world's biggest Christmas fan and likes nothing more than decorating the tree and house.


O/H usually takes the decorations down as near as he can get away with to New Year....

Cleaned the bathroom, everything is an effort today.

Going to practice my casting on whilst the floor dries.

I agree with you - I have never done Black Friday deals before as always worked f/t and it is addictive! I am only buying what we "need" such as radiator reflector foil to try and warm the house up and the odd present. This morning I get up early to look through the whole lot, researched what may be interesting and discussed with DH. He always says that S A L E is a four letter word in our house and now a full week of it!!! Yesterday something went 100% within 2 minutes of it opening!!!!!


Happy to report that almost winter cleaned front large bedroom - just the bed to pull out and clean behind and under and need DH for that!! Also WUDUPA - now that I have worked out what it means!!

Having a crafty cuppa before finishing off. Does anyone else find that once you have done a room it is easy to find other things to put away, move to a different location or get rid of?
