    She's at Uni and lives on Marlborough - wanted her independence but needed to stay close enough to cadge cash;)

    To justify my presence on this thread by the way I have blitzed my utilityroom - so that OH could find out where the strange smell was coming from - leak under the sink, mouldy dusters (well I don't really use them do I?:rotfl: :rotfl: )

    Declutter the chairs, floor
    DONE
    Level Two
    Vacuum the floor now it is visible
    DONE
    Level Three
    Vacuum under any furniture you can.. please don't injure yourselves!

    DUSTY PLACES DONE

    Extras
    Binbag dance... grab a bag fill it and fling it!

    The work did get shared around, but not as much as I would have liked. OH got carried away with the vacuuming and did the computer room, laundry and part of the hall as well. Then he went to bed early cos he was tired. :rolleyes:
