    We have the freedom festival going on and last night when I went to pick up DD1 from her night class we spotted loads of lights. We stopped and had a walk round and it was just magical, loads of beautiful metal structures with flames and fire, all around the marina. Utterly magical.
    That sounds wonderful!
    Rose Hi....not long to go before I see you.....really looking forward to it xx
    Me too! :D

    That HHC was very productive - completely cleared the bedroom floor on my side (apart from shredding pile) and hoovered it very throroughly and did some shredding and tidied LR floor a bit and did some walking up and down so I'm just over 1000 steps now..I'm sure there was something else too but can't remember what it was. I emptied the hoover again, as it seems to need emptying every time I hoover. I need to find a way to clean the filter, I think it's that that's causing the problem.

    Anyway, very pleased with what I've done so far - bedroom and kitchen are looking good! I've got a few bits on the bed waiting to be relocated but that will be done later.

    Afternoon all

    I did all three bedrooms on Wednesday so that's the list complete for this week. This morning I've done a load of washing which is drying beautifully and polished the living room and computer desk and vacuumed right through downstairs. I've also got some mugs bleaching to get rid of tea stains.

    I haven't caught up yet so I hope everyone is OK.
