    WOO, that was fun!:D
    In the HHC I:
    Cleared clean washing up from drainer and put away.
    Thoroughly cleaned food processor.
    Scrubbed chopping board.
    Scrubbed sink, drainer, washing up bowl, tiles and taps.
    Cleared out "sent email" folder on netbook.

    Not bad going, for me; how'd you get on, aj?:o
