    In 2xHHC I have managed
    -emptied and reloaded dishwasher (needed to to find worktops!)
    -cleared and cleaned worktops (putting all bread/sauces/juice etc away as the kids cant seem to do it)
    -swept floor
    -put out 2 loads of washing from yesterday
    -went to toilet so collected all washing I could find from upstairs
    -set washer going with first load of today
    -cleaned the hob! Then realised it isn't even on the list (it did need doing though.


    DH still not back, going to cost a fortune!
    Its now spitting with rain, going to leave the washing and see if it clears up.
    Off to have a coffee and will get something else done (the fridge probably, so may be gone a while:o)

    Mrs MP, I read that as they wanted to borrow your guinea pig. And give it a facial. :rotfl:
    I thought it sounded like another new beauty fad - get a guinea pig to lick your face for you.:rotfl:

    I usually do that, it's what Mr LW calls "a clean mess" (an expression his Gran used to use, apparently). My theory is if you let it sit in the drainer and dry on its own for a bit, it saves wear & tear on the tea cloth.:D

    I'm going to have to take it steady this week; we're off on our hols next Monday, and I need some spoons to take with me, so I'll be flying very gently at low level this week.;)

    I racked my brains for something I could do to join in the June challenge, bearing in mind we'll be away for a week, and I came up with Reduce my Toots/Frog list by 5 items. There are 23 items at present, the challenge is to have 18 items or less by the end of June. I may need a good kicking in order to achieve this, though!
    If your dog thinks you're the best, don't seek a second opinion.;)

We can each do the exercise challenge & then have some time on the wii fit ;) Is it wrong for me to hope that her after school clubs are not on since its the first day back so she can come home an hour earlier to do it? :o I bet she's driving me up the wall by 6pm and I'll be wanting 8am tomorrow to come around :rotfl: :rotfl:

    [STRIKE] 15 minutes on a job you've been putting off - half way through! I'm steam mopping the livingroom floor but can only use the steam mop for so long so having a break ;)[/STRIKE]

    Ironing all finished and away, last lot of washing strategically strewn around.

    Pics taken of the sodden patch of garden, the damp on the wall a good 12" above the damp course :( and the minging area on the flat above with the offending overflow pipe visible. I even managed to catch a drip in the shot, I knew I should have been a photographer ;)

    Another half dozen cherries munched. I'd offer you some Dusty but you'll need to be quick!

    I am exhausted.. We've done a 2 hour trot around B&Q.. treated myself to a new sander.. a little mini-me one instead of the monster I usually use.. and replaced the stolen (let's guess who took that!!!) drill and got a big fluff off bolt for the alley gate. it can easily be undone from the inside but not from outside.. :)

    Cuppa then school run..

    I've dusted the lounge, polished the coffee table, cleaned the bathroom and vacuumed through. I'd like to keep going but I've run out of jobs :eek: so help yourselves to some GUAG if you're in need!
