    Lively to see lots of geocachers and potential cachers here. I gcd with a phone using the cgeo app last year and then dh bought me a garmin etrex 20 for xmas and I bought sone great maps from talkytoaster.co. am just getting into multis right now. Its great free fun. Kids love it.

    Not doing great flying but am doing well at getting the washing out first thing! Small steps and all that. Oh and I dealt with mount foldmore this afternoon x

    Natty I find it much harder to get going when there's grey skies and miserable weather, too.
    Re your friend - playing Devil's Advocate here, but maybe she's poorly and not able to get to the phone? Migraine or something like that? Just a thought.
    Mt Ironmore: I don't have one of those, but I do have a lot of dust; how about if I do HHDusting, and you do HHI?:o I've a few bits on my spreadsheets to do first, so I'm gonna start at 15:00. Please join me.;)
    And anyone else who wants to join me for a HHSomething at 15:00, I'd love the company.

    LW I wish it was as simple as she wasn't well, but I had actually been talking to her half an hour beforehand on the phone, and I had seen her outside mowing her lawn after the phonecall. I think she was doing her usual trick of saying one thing :mad: and doing another..so annoying :mad: I wouldn't even be that offended if she was busy and couldn't make lunch, but it was her that suggested it I didn't even suggest it..lol Seriously though she does it everytime and I haven't even asked her over for a while as she lets me down. Maybe she was feeling lonely...

    Re HHI, I can probably do that, although I shall have to disappear at 3.30 to pick up my niece. Maybe 15 minutes...lol

And multivitamin swallowed. Phew.

    Time for a :coffee:

    Well, my HH was more like 3/4, but the spare room and the bedroom are now dusted, and my altar has a clean cloth, and the one I took off has been rinsed through and is out on the line to dry. Mission accomplished.:o
    Sounds like you did good, too, Short Bird.:o

    Work decluttered, glad it's done, it was glorious sunshine all day and when I got out the car to collect DS2 it started tipping it down *sigh*

    I fed the WM this morning so I need to fling that at the airer. Easy dinner tonight, will feed the boys in an hour and WUDUPA when they're done.

    But first, a long, hot shower. I stink :p
