    Valli - you say you've done the bathroom (which ain't on the list yet) and the living room. Are you claiming stars for the living room? Your post wasn't clear..


    I claimed for the living room on monday which I think I got -
    bathroom and kitchen are usually half a list each but I had to do them today as they require mopping and hot water to clean which I won't have tomorrow as the gas is going off. And it's too soon to do my bedroom again!
    So just the one star so far, which I have. I wasn't claiming just pointig out that I was cleaning really....
    many thanks!

    No, the paper hasn't mentioned me but the g*ts adding their online comments have - by name as well as organisation this time!

    I've just read them... pour yourself a large G&T and don't look at it again. They're clearly nasty small-minded idiots.

    evening all

    have been completely MIA this week, not sure where the time has gone! I've been working hard but not really done much flying. My dad and his partner are coming tomorrow - not staying with us but it will be the first time she has been to the flat so I will get up a bit extra early tonight and make sure it's all ok. Thankfully DH did a good job cleaning at the weekend so I just need to put the clean laundry away and clear a couple of books and things from the coffee table.

    Hope everyone is ok - soappie noticed above that you're having a tough time.

    Thank you for clearing that up Valli - I get easily confused! One star it remains at then...

    Stars done to this post (including pollybear's extra one)

    Sorry to be picky, Toots, but my name appears on the list of honour - without its star...
    :embarasse

    It was the Living Room (yesterday).

    Tomorrow I am going into DDs pit to collect my first EVER star in that room (or perish in the process :eek:). It could be tough, folks.....

    Take care everyone,

    MissH
