    :rotfl: :rotfl: Hope you've given them the instructions for the machine and told them to get on with it!

    Kitchen floor is now spotless... cleaned with scrubbing brush and floor cloths. I'll go over it with the mop and vacuum again when I do the living room/hall stairs just to make sure it is perfect.

    Plastic off mattress, which is now airing, so need to get my paperwork done for this afternoon before I go to reflexology. House is, of course, a mess, because of all the stuff I've had to move out of the bedroom, but hopefully I'll get it back to normal later today.

    Been flying non stop - will find a list to update.

    virus still not responding to treatment (pc not people)

    Washing on the line but the clouds are rolling in - fortunately that is making the wind pickup so it might dry.

    Diva and LL continues love and support for you both
