Oh, I don't know where to start.

The house is a pit. Piles of laundry, dishes, kids artwork from end of term clear outs, grass from mowing the lawn, toys, toys and more toys.

The garden is a mess. He didn't have time to mow it properly at the weekend, so he mulched the cuttings over, and every time I go outside, I track in another heap. The strimmer is broken so I'm edging with shears. Ever tried edging 2 acres of grass with shears?

The polytunnel is in that in-between stage - most plants are out, some are still in, the grapevine is going mad, the strawberries have been taking lessons from triffids, and somehow I've got weeds coming thru the black plastic.

The henhouse and the rabbits need cleaned out.

The car needs washed.

The flower garden has sprouted weeds all over the place, overnight, and the kids have made a proper mess of the paths with that horrible bark stuff.

I need a homehelp!

No - sod the homehelp - I need a holiday!!!!!!
