    All bedrooms will be in one day this week so you may want to think ahead if that will be a problem;)

    Pooh mine will need more that HHP too but if you do HH it will be HH less

    I went in looked around and after the bit of floor showing was done, came out. The problem is that I don't know where to start. I can't get any where near the windows!

    Instead DS2 and I have put more cling film type glazing over the three windows in the hall. Had to find homes for all sorts of gibble first.

  • Thanks for all comments relating to the Sacking of the Cleaner, including the Cleaner in the Bath story which had me gasping! Finding it hard to switch off after a busy/stressy day (I have Bipolar Disorder and we're in racing thoughts territory at the moment) so think it's probably time to put on the TV and get the knitting out!

    Just marking my place.
    Nothing achieved since weds last week other than i sorted on drawer in the bathroom whilst the kids were in the bath last night.
    I have been to the hospital 4 times since thursday and doctors twice (dad fell over at the weekend and split his arm). I have no time to eat at this rate let alone fly. Never mind....my e-bay pile is calling.
