- Large dining table has been listed on Gumtree
- Fridge has also been listed on Gumtree
- Small dining table built (kitchen cluttered and TD not easily accessible, but the Table is now out of the hall!
)
- LR has been hoovered
- DS was sent round LR earlier with the duster then polish and a cloth
- Hall has been partially hoovered
- Some toys from the hall have the garage 'stoor' cleaned off and are now away in DS room...

One of these 16 year olds did food tech GCSE.
It transpires that she answered the question 'Name 4 types of rice' with, among other answers 'egg fried'.
