    General cleaning is done - I love child free wednesday am. That gives me just half an hour to clean the car. I would take photos but sadly my camera would have to be condemned due to the bacterial activity going on in there. I am not sure I wont to go in without a dust mask.....

    There is some really weird mould growing in the passenger footwell. It is a nice car when it is clean - but is currently a mobile waste bin. I blame the children mostly.

    I'm blitzing my work/boxroom, and have boxed myself in to the computer corner. If I never post again, it's because I failed to escape, and starved to death.

  • Hello! I've been out all day, so did my challenge - the shelves in my study- this morning. This is a before photo. Now too late to take a good one, so the after photo will be along in the morning. May try to photo Mr Penguin's new shelves and storage system under the stairs.

    Welcome, Broomstick - great to have you along.

    Hi, Dusty, nice of you to think of us, from all the way across the pond!

    WendyM, where are you? Is it time to contact the mods to send out a search party?!?!?

    SarahMoon, you can always just post your "after" photos? Otherwise, tell us what you've done!!

    Earwig, did you have a good time with the little earwigs?

    I'm well impressed FLYboy! The obsessive part of me asks "Are the books by the same author in publication order?" I'll get my coat... :o
