    Hi I'm in this week too :)
    Thanks for the threads :)

    Gosh pigpen what a lovely family you have :D

    I didn't plan to do any housework this weekend as its the weekend!
    But discovered one of the new kittens has been weeing on my bedroom carpet so spent ages scrubbing away at it before realising it's gone through to the wood :(
    So nothing for it but to cut out the offending bit of carpet completely and scrub the floor. Tomorrow when it's dry I'll put lots of bicarb on it to try and neutralise the last bit of smell.
    Took said kitten to vet she said nowt wrong with him which is good but clean up an area 3 times the size that's dirty cos they can still smell it otherwise :(
    These kittens are wrecking the house as fast as I get bits of it sorted out!

    So new bedroom carpet added to my Toots list.

    Sigh.
