    Right. Back to cleaning the boys' bedrooms and bathroom. Any takers? Bring your own rake and shovel.

    Well okay, maybe you think you're untidy, but at least you're not unclean. I used to go out with someone who thought he was untidy but he was the only person I knew who had plates of pizza and toast under the sofa.

    You?

    This is what happens when I'm not around much for a few days - the Dolls House becomes a candidate for Kim & Aggie and apparently I'm up to goodness-knows-what! :D

    So, are we petitioning How Clean is Your House, then? Happy to write emails on your behalf , Mike...

    I'm so very confused.

    Congrats Catflea :)

    Had a lovely weekend in Scotland with the in-laws, rolling eggs down hills and other scottish things. 10 hour drive back today though which wasn't great.

    Hope all is well with everyone :)

    I think you must have been in the same queue as DS1 - must have taken him over 8 hours and he's been known to do the trip in well under six.
