Pigpen don't get a doggy as you have enough on atm.

Triker, I bought a Samsung 2000w bagless, not so long a go, and I think it is wonderful, even OH can manage to use it!!! I think I got it from Argos or Comet, as they were open!

Hoovered stairs, hall, landing, bedrooms and settee.
Cleaned paintwork on stairs
Stripped DS's bed and loaded WM

Oven, hob, cooker hood and microwave are clean. But I'm still working my way through the dirt (it's amazing how much more dirt an extra two people in the house make :eek:. It's going to take me at least the rest of today to deal with this... hopefully I'll get the majority of it done, as I don't have the time to spend on it tomorrow.

Patio is completely dug up, and there is a vast pile of paving slabs & concrete on the old garage base which I need to get rid of...
