... and it's going well. The kitchen is clean and shiny - even the fridge. OK, so I'm lying about the fridge, but at least I've cleared it of all the food that was heading past its sell-by date and rapidly towards its "wear protective clothing before touching" date... which at least means that when I do clean it it will be a doddle as it's now practically empty. Who needs food, eh?
In taking the rubbish out I had a burst of "isn't it nice to be outside, even though the weather's a bit foul" and so deadheaded all the roses and trimmed back the triffid and had a general tidy round in the garden, just in case I don't get as far as the lounge and so go back to the plan of taking my visitor to sit in the garden (under an umbrella!).
I've used weapons of mass-fleastruction in the hall, bathroom and loo and have yet more waiting for the lounge - just in case. I never had any problems with Charlie getting fleas (apart from once) on the Island but here it's an ongoing battle. Bless 'im.
Pete, I like the penance idea. I use it at work, actually - when I make a mistake at work or deliberately wind up the shift leader, I take on a job that nobody else wants to do as penance. In fact, yesterday I notched up a few penances in advance :o)
