Hell, I (we) are stuffed & ready to fall into bed. All left yesterday but because of the catastrophe that was the house we slept in the van again last night. Had to gurney the patio to get rid of carted in grass, spilt grop,food, aw you name it, it was there. Finally got floors inside washed at 5pm to-day. Poor washing machine is probably saying"thank god for that". Started her at 2pm yesterday then again 6am 7 she went all day. 19 towels still online. everything that has come off line has gone been packed away immediately.
We told them Monday afternoon- Mitchell said "Should have done it 2 years ago instead of having house sitters." Yes son, we realise that now!. One granddaughter (10) in particular started crying, as she does every time we go on a trip.
Now after all that we did have a great 2 days with all the family- 10 children & 9 adults.
This is the first time I have turned the computer on since Tues I think.
I sat down to dinner in my sexy PJ's then had my shower and got dressed. 
Tippy toe, pussy cat is doing the vets bill proud, she is eating more than she has in weeks.. She is the sole resident of the bus while my sister is here and also to give her the peace and quiet with no stress of the schnauzers chasing her.. 
.. I actually bought some things.. 2 Dumpa retractable clothes lines $2ea come out to about 2mts.... A pack of 3 clothes bags (for the washing machine) and different sizes.. a couple of rubber backed mats for the bus steps $2 ea. and 3 packets of 4 facewashers at $2 ea. Then I got a packet of egg poacher sachets (You put the cracked egg into the ??paper type envelope and put that into boiling water) and some new fibre cloths for the shower etc. from Big W. So I was very pleased with the days outing, sore feet but we did good...NO men were invited, better still..no moaning or whinging.. Goodnight Ros x
