    Whispers to Lynz - don't want to sway you or anything but as much as I love Penny and TNG you've got to give it to Wobblebottom

    Absolutely fantastic achievement Wobblebottom!!! :T :T :T :T You now need to get into a routine to stop it happening again!

    Suggest that your kids make their beds, collect up dirty washing and crockery daily and tidy bedrooms once a week so you can see room carpet to hoover and sides to dust. Then every six months do a purge on clothes/toys.

    You're an inspiration - what will you reward yourself with? Other than ciggie and cup of tea?

    As for me - I've photographed my mess, just working out how to upload...:whistle:
