Phew - that's one bathroom done (all levels), with curtain in the wash as I type. Two to go before I can star claim! I hadn't realised what manky toothbrushes my kids have got (cleaning that bathroom is usually their job, so I never go in it!!) - will be stopping in Boots on Monday to buy them new ones - yuck!!!!!
Do the kids bedrooms get a week off this week - just a s&s - they'll be pleased!!!!0
