    Ahh thanks you lot, you say the nicest things.

    I do have a very victorian house, but in fact patterned wall paper and carpets in a darker colour are childproof they dont show the dirt. I have a lot of paint effects that are glazed over with a varnish. This means i can blue tack anything to it, and wipe it down with a damp cloth when it gets dirty. See them Victorians knew a thing or two. Oh and dont forget ' children should be seen and not heard'

    Was going to say you have a fab victorian house and have kept the decor in keeping with the era - was wondering too if you adhered to victorian principles in your childminding practice and how you rationalised it on your ECM paperwork????

    Like Jen was wondering about the dust factor - if it was my house they would be eating an inch of dust if I had the table set at this early stage!!!1

    Wendy, may we have a virtual tour of the rest of your home? I must admit to an unhealthy desire to see your boudoir now!

    It's really gorgeous.

    It looks fab, but I'm still not convinced, who would set their table this far in advance?

    Twinks, it seems as if your trustworthiness as a character reference is just not good enough!!

    And come on Wendy, the boudoir, s'il vous plait?
