            Well, I've well and truly fallen off the wagon this week and not done anything other than my usual daily tasks of washing, ironing and general surface cleaning! The only thing I managed to do was get the children's bedroom cleaned and vacuumed yesterday as DD1's friend was coming round and their room was a TIP!
