    I rest my case! This is exactly what I was talking about earlier!

    We have had wall to wall sunshine today and guess what - I actually washed the outside of all the windows at the back as soon as I got in from work! Am now going to get the Dyson out and suck up bits that I missed earlier in the week...

    Nasty stuff anyway... you should be using vinegar and olive oil instead :p

    Back from massage. Really could do with a sleep but I've got a call in 10 minutes. Returned the cardigan to Gap, and got some sushi for lunch :D. I have a large jug of water on my desk, so hopefully the massage won't cause any problems during the call...

    Afternoon all

    Wednesday and Thursday's lists both done.


    Did a normal load of washing first, then did the cats blankets and finished up with a cleaning cycle.

    Even hung some outside for a while, though it didn't dry.

    Hope everyone's OK, catching up now.
