    Cheeky!!!!

    I don't have many carpets, It was fine until I got to the kids bedrooms and had to get all the tools out!
    Oh and cat hair, I think they shed it just for the fun of it!

    It's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
    We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
    Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.

    Luckily I have a bagless hoover so not a problem.

    I'd just put the hoover away when Maureen shot in the house closely followed by Dennis's fat furry butt; a huge cat scrap ensued with legs, tails, and fur flying everywhere.
