    DW on... sink full with next lot of stuff ready to go in... stickiness wiped off most of kitchen...

    I've also managed to do a load of washing that's just finishing in the TD. Only two items for ironing, so may wait until there is a bit more.

    Just need to find my list, then think I might have a bath to recover from cake decorating.

    I have vanilla ones with pale pink icing and multi-coloured sprinkles
    I have pale pink sponge with pale pink icing and translucent lilac sprinkles
    I have red chocolate sponge with red chocolate & cream cheese frosting

    ... and I really hope I can get in to work tomorrow to get rid of them :rolleyes: ... if someone has a camera in the office I'll see whether I can post a picture before they go....

    well done everyone who's managed some flying

    soappie - glad you made it to work and back in one piece... hopefully it will be better tomorrow

    Why are you filling the shed with clutter? That's just putting the problem off!

    Have dusted the spare room while running the bath... every little helps!
