    ill be slightly longer, but ill join you both just heading over to mils with my gardening supplies to tackle her mares tails (that can count as my half hour doing something i hate), as she only notices when it NEEDS doing, it never gets commented on when its neat and tidy.

    need to do my dressing table but rest of room is very neat now (didnt turn the mattress as its not long since i did that but i dysoned it and both sides of the mattress topper before turning that.. Landing blitzed, dysoned all upstairs all doors and frames wiped down as well as skirtings and banisters. All lampshade curtain tops and picture frames dusted as well.
