    The worksurface which was a major hotspot is now all clear and sparkly - we won't talk about the other 2 worksurfaces though. All dishes are done, the windowsill has been cleared and is all sparkly too and the WM is on so not too bad. I think I'll just do another HHC at 9 and then call it a night.
