    and I've done Wmx2 tdx2 hand wash of scarves now happily drying on the line, chased up element for oven I ordered 2 weeks ago (at least the oven is still spotless:T) Even went the final furlong and put yankee candles on in bathrooms to finish off:dance:

    Might pop to town and treat myself this afternoon.
    Will get ds2 to mow lawn then dd can put her tent up in the garden to air, dry and clean it after 3 weeks of use. Must think of job for ds1 when he gets home from work, have to keep it fair lol.

    Have a good day everyone, hope little furries and flutteries are all now in hiding

    I said that for years and years! It is different when its your own dog though....

    I now have one with tiny poops!! ;)

    Anyone like to join me for a HHC - the only thing I am achieving is gaining pounds and decluttering food!!
