    We tend to use it Friday, Saturday and Sunday and then change the water.

    :eek::eek::eek: Thats almost a 1000 litres a week, I hope you are not on a water meter. The water is good for much longer than that if you use the chlorine and let the pump/filter go a few hours every day. (Well, obviously depending if the kids are using it as a bath or not :D )

    Do the people with striped carpets have straight stairs? I would love it but our stairs turn 90 degrees three stairs from the top and I wonder if it would make the stripes go funny.

    Good morning all.

    Was hoping to get into a local town today, but it is peeing down and I really do not fancy cycling in it! Part of the problem is I wear glasses and can't get windscreen wipers for them :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
