    Morning All :wave:

    Pink-Fairy - I use the H-20 mop & I love it, can be used as a hand held steamer as well, the only one I previously tried was a cheap & nasty one & was pants!!! I have only used a few of the attachments, must try the rest out sometime :D

    Dancemum - Hugs for you, hope your DH gets the help he needs.

    I didn't get a great sleep last night, not helped by horrible dreams :(.

    At the paid stuff 8-3 today so flying will resume when I get home after dinner.

    Does anyone know where the ironing fairy resides, I badly NEED one :rotfl:

    I have just text DH to ask him to strip bed, I can hang it ou when I get home, hopefully it will still be dry

    Morning all

    Hope your DH gets help soon, dancemum, and you can catch up on sleep.

    Not much done yet other than making cups of tea and breakfast. OH is at work, DS1 at GF's and I'm about to take DS2 to the last day of his creative writing thingy. Then I'm back for some flying between 11 and 3. :D
