    House looks so good now - had parents round for tea last night and mum was impressed with how good the place was looking.

    Well done you! If my boys turn out anything like you I will be a very happy woman indeed. ;) DS1 is already in training with his main job being the vaccuuming up of all 'dry' spillages. We had a little setback last week when he proudly announced that he had sucked up the entire contents of the dog's water bowl :rotfl:

    So well motivated to do todays tasks, despite a cold.
