    Hugs, spoons and birthday greetings to all as appropriate.

    DD walks in and start leaving a trail of destruction behind her before I've even finished cleaning :wall: First words weren't even "hi" they were "shall I go upstairs and stay out your way?" HA if she thinks she's getting away with not helping she has another thing coming! She can do a batch of dishes ;) Just about to vacuum, just de-throw-ing the sofas so all the crumbs can go on the floor first :mad:

    Personal:

    Spot clean a carpet rug - switching that to deep cleaning the tiled coffeetable. Something has been spilt on it and then papers put on top so they've stuck. This may take some soaking :mad:

    Off to shove the sofa cover in the wash, then I'll vacuum right through downstairs ;)

    Thanks for good wishes for Dog from LW, Jazee and Rowan Tree. Dog-sitter person was very impressed with newly healthy Dog, and Dog was delighted with the arrangements and our return. So, good all round, really.

    Natty and Wendy Witch, please be gentle with yourselves. (((Healing hugs)))

    We told the lodger we're waiting for a new part for the washing machine but it's not expected until next week when she asked if there was any news about it! The *cheek* of it! I very, very carefully say that there are no clothes washing facilities here on the accommodation lists, so she can take a running jump. What she has failed to notice is that it's a new WM!

    I've just heard this afternoon that my new business colleague/partner's OH has had a mass removed, thinking she was having minor surgery to remove a cyst. Healing and posi-vibes for her, please, while they wait for test results.
    Better is good enough.
