    Evening all

    Polly - I'm glad you had a lovely day, and that is why we fly to have day's off - in theory anyhow.

    DW on just going to do the bathroom so that upstairs is done. I thinking of just giving downstairs the once over tomorrow and then concentrating on downstairs next week now upstairs is done.
