    OMG how long is this thread already :eek:

    Well, I will work through the list but most importantly I need to make sure everywhere is completely tidy as I have instructed a new estate agent and he is coming to take pictures tomorrow.

    Thanks to following Pigpen's lists for 2 weeks now everywhere is clean but DH has been home all weekend and we have had visitors so there is quite a bit of stuff to put away.

    Will crack on and hopefully have time to catch up on BB this evening :rolleyes:

    OMG what did you do to them to get security - I thought I was bad but still never managed that!!

    Weather soooo blowy here (Co Down, N Ireland) that I will have first load hung out and dry by time second load finished - yeehaw - does anyone else love it when you can wash and put away all in one day!! (Sad life I know)

    Sadder still - used my new 'Charles' who is Henry's dry/wet vacuum/carpet cleaner. It came with an orange attachment called an 'ari brush' (I think) AMAZING - first thing ever to really really lift cat hair (Even sadder I know)

    There is no point in negative thought, it takes up time and energy which could be used in a positive, happy way!
