    I'm in!

    Must start some photos uploading to my computer for our guests at the weekend, and have a quick shower; then I'll be raring to go at about 11:00pm. Kitchen and dining room look like a bomb has hit them, so I needed to tackle these rooms anyway.

    [It's amazing how much dirt 3 teenagers having a pumpkin race around your house (rolling them...having collected them from the vegetable patch...in the rain....) can transfer onto your carpets :rolleyes:]

    Cleared up a bit late last night, did all the dishes and washed the tablecloth overnight anyway, so that's a good start...

    Off I go with my pre-cleaning jobs, and will be straight back...
