    I cleaned out the bin, went upstairs to check on soy sauce stain and it had soaked back through the carpet in one spot where I knew I had wetted i too much. So another vax of the carpet, hung two loads of washing on airers and one in TD. I was waiting for a break in the clouds.

    Put kettle on for a cuppa and made DH's lunch while I was waiting. Now checking emails and bank balance.
