    Wendywitch - what was on the housework songs CD? Maybe we should compile our own. I always think Duffy's Mercy is really good to clean windows to.

    ~cough~ ~sneeze~ I'm choking on dog hair and dust here.

    I have a load of shelves in the passageway to my bedroom. I have taken everything off them and cleaned them all. The worst bit was the business lever arch files on the floor under the bottom shelf. I haven't taken them all out at once for ages. The dog hair and dust that was lurking there was dreadful :o

    But, it's all Dysoned up, everything put back neatly and I've just washed the floor. I am now trapped in my bedroom until it's dried. Then, I'll finish off today's list bits and pieces and pour a well deserved Gordons!

    Kitchen cleaned:D:D:D:D:D:D:D
    floor drying - I know what you mean about mopping embb - I usually mop the kitchen THEN the bathroom but did the rooms separately today as DS about.
    So the bathroom got a hand and knees scrub (ie I got down there and did it really well) today - I try to do that every so often.
    The kitchen floor was AWFUL. Kids off. Coincidence? I think not!
    DS on way back now - so am hoping floor dries before he gets here. back door open so it might...
    He has requested some home baking - flapjacks...easy peasy.
    Just seen Martin - ears are cute but those teeth!:eek:
