No worries hun - I was beginning to think last week that I'm actually a rain god......The sun is shining... revealing exactly how grim a state the house is in :eek:.
I rest my case! This is exactly what I was talking about earlier!
Have only skim read so hugs etc. to all who need them.
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...I am the leading lady in the movie of my life
