I have spent the last two days deep cleaning my house in preparation for Christmas and if you think I sound smug - too darned right I am! I vacuumed the carpet to within an inch of it's life. There was not a nook or cranny,complete with spiders and cobwebs, that was safe. (The spiders had become complacent and were caught off guard )
I cannot start to enjoy Christmas until I get my house in order and it creeps up on you all of a sudden.Do you think that no-one can clean your house like you do? If you are doing a major clean it's always a bad idea to start in the kitchen. The kitchen is a work-in-progress. You could spend your youth in there. You could emerge and find that all your Christmases had passed you by!
Don't worry, I know I won't get to stay smug for long. I have been doing this house-keeping mularkey for long enough now to know that the gremlins are lurking in the background just waiting to sprinkle a bit of dust here and there while I sleep!
Anyway, I shall tidy the garage tomorrow and next week invite some people round because no-one ever calls when your house is tidy- we all know that!

Well done Shelbee!
I did the same last Saturday.....not for Christmas - just had some friends coming round and the house was a tip, so had to be done.
Why can't there be such a thing as a self-cleaning house? I would rather do (most) things than clean.
Have a fab time at The Crown girls, fab place, wish I could be there.

Would be great if you could!

Hi Bobcat,Gem Nannyc & Jovilady,
(Oooops! Just noticed that this post ought to be in the "Your Homes" section and not in " Health and Well Being" Don't know how I did that. Anyway it's kinda to do with my well being.)
Sadly I cannot make The Crown due to prior engagement. I know that I am going to miss a great day out - dammit. P.S. Word of advice - someone needs to bring ChattyC's purse. She thinks she is the Queen or something!
And I am seriously thinking of going to Newcastle. It would be lovely to see some of you again and meet some new people too.

Ok Missus if you want the honest truth you dont get visitors because your too busy scooting around building up your Empire so your never in!  
By the way if your seriously thinking of going to Newcastle forum weekend let me know as maybe we can share a room...better the Devil you know!
Also I'm relying on you to bring the cash as thats what friends are for! 
--------------------
Christmas Lunch/Dinner in The Crown Bar Belfast Saturday 5th December!!!
Dont hesitate to contact me if you wish to come along & join in the fun!
