    Is there an easy way to wipe plants?

    Putting them outside when it is raining is good or put them in the bath if you have a shower spray.

    I'll join at 9:45 too

  • I'm in today and glad it's just the living room as DD3 had me up every hour from 3:30am onwards and now DD2 seems to have come down with a cold so probably won't go in to preschool this afternoon. On top of this, DH worked last night and is sleeping upstairs so I can't even go up there and lie down with my girls later.

    Will get on with this once I wake up a bit more - at least DD1 is ok and went to school today.

    The steamer is on, the oven racks are soaking in the bath and I am minutes away from actually cleaning my oven properly. Hopefully it will just be maintenance after today!
