When I say flooded - it's about 2-4 inches of water and as the house is on a gravel bed, it will disperse pretty soon, but if memory serves, it will be smelly. Luckily, we tend not to put stuff down there that doesn't like the damp.

Although hiring a skip does sound like fun, I can guarantee that in this area, if we did that, it would be filled before we could pay off the delivery guy.

I had a scrape around in the child's room... found a multitude of horrible things including 7 old drink bottles, oat bar wrappers, Dorito packets and 15 dirty socks. This now means there is more space for her to fill with other stuff so that I can reach the wall to put the shelf up.   Trouble is, Raven kitty has manoeuvered his bean bag onto the shelf as it sits on the table and he looks so cute, curled up in the sun.....

Ho hum. Back to the ironing!
