    Haven't started any of my sewing and I haven't read anything, not anything at all - alllll day long _pale_

    DS2 just come home from 1st school rugby tournament - OMG the dirt :eek::eek::eek: better go and supervise the shower being turned on less he "forgets" ;)

    Hope everyone having a good day - no time to read thread will be back later to have a browse.

    HHC was reasonably successful, got the WM emptied and TD on, veggies prepped for dinner, S&S in kitchen, dishes done, water filter cleaned.
    Would have been better but LO needed to go to the toilet 3 times:rolleyes:

    In my HHC I;

    - sorted out the recycling
    - bought in the bins and boxes from the weekly collection
    - emptied WM, dried for ten minutes and hung up
    - filled WM again
    - 5mGC
    - put kitchen waste in compost bin
    - found that we do indeed have two window ledges in the kitchen and put all the carp that had been on them away
    - washed water bottles for school
    - emptied and cleaned packed lunch boxes for school.

    Then I sat down after doing all that running around and DH walks in, grrrrrrrrrrrrr, he'll think i've sat on my bum all day. He's off to do the lidl shop though so at least that's one thing less to do.

    Another HHC anyone? 445 till 515?

    Nope.. they are a total waste of money!!!

    They have 2 big boxes inside which you are meant to fill with water and freeze... they are meant to cool the steam as it comes out of the vent hose and turn it back into water... what actually happens it because steam is lighter than the surrounding air it rises straight out of the box and makes your house into a sauna.. plus the boxes don't stay frozen long enough and you only get enough for one use and they take about 10 hours to freeze.. IF!!!! you can fit them in your freezer!!!

    Mine went on freecycle!
