lol sounds oh so familiar! I remember one year I was determined to not have nasty comments linking my house and a pig pen, so I did the same as you , I scrubbed and scrubbed. My mother came in and sniffed around for a bit. She wasn't saying a word, but I could see her eyes darting all over. Eventually, she reached up and passed a critical finger over the top of the door... " oh" she said" I see you didn;t have time to dust"... grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
So this year... I am going the other way... I have tidied, but not cleaned. ON purpose. She can bloody well do it , but she would not know where to start, she has always had staff.
I'll shut up now cause I am nearing breakdown and she has not even arrived yet. My mother in law is an angel, despite being German! :gayle
ETA Sorry Lis I am really not with it. You are welcome hun, glad you liked it! You could always ignore the purple bits, and only use the bits you like!
