I have to say, much to my shame, mine isn't very clean at the moment.

After having felt poorly everything has got worse than usual. The children really think items manage to walk to the dishwasher by themselves, that the fairies will dust and hoover and clean up after them.

I spent today cleaning the living room and dining room. I got hubby to move the unit that houses the stereo to the other side of the room. We moved the t.v. stand over slightly. I moved furniture and hoovered under and behind them. I dusted till you can see your reflection in the surfaces. Eldest son was supposed to get the feather duster and evict a few spiders from their homes (afterall they haven't paid their rent for a while so in this economic climate they needed to be evicted - they were warned) but as I look about me one is appearing as I type so may need to get the duster out again. All the plates on the dining room shelves were cleaned and everywhere dusted - I just need to sort out my computer table now. Wooden floor swept and order restored. Now have to do the kitchen and bathroom, but that may be a job for during the week after work.

I was going to put the tree up, but I am tired from my efforts. Just wrapped a few presents and realised I made a mistake with one. Just printed off a returns label from Amazon so that I can send it back.

Not looking forward to work tomorrow, but only two weeks left, think I can manage that before I go mad?

Right off to have a cup of tea:)
