Hiya Zippy
Have you been doing all this for long? I'm on my third day, just, and loving it. A friend popped round tonight and asked if we'd been burgled as the house looked so tidy! Not sure whether to take that as a compliment or insult!!!!! Hope things are going well for you and you sorted the treatment room. Take care.January budget

First day to start properly is tomorrow, but I have made a start on a few rooms, I emptied out all the Christmas clutter from my treatment room, but it needs a good clean, one of my lovely ladies is a cleaner, perfectionist, been on the TV giving cleaning tips etc and she pointed out my cobwebs a couple of weeks gomy excuse is I have a really high ceiling in there
She's due next week so its got to be done asap.
