Hi guys

I am looking for advice for old style cleaning

What can i use as an anti bacterial spray , for my kitchen surfaces and chopping boards ? And what sort of quantities is needed to make up a bottle?

And what can i use instead of supermarket polishing wipes ?

Any help would be great :beer:

Hi everyone.

Finally managed to get computer sorted. Had to switch off zonelarm though. I do have other security protection.

Was away yesterday stewarding at a event. Had a great time and caught up with loads of people I knew. So tired when I got back I just fell into bed.

Saw my neighbour this morning who asked if I had heard the commotion at the top of my street in the early hours. When I said no he just looked. There is a nightclub there and often fighting. Apparently the police were there and lots of commotion. He lives futher down than me so must have been badif he heard it.

Have done dailies and thats about it.

Soappie Happy Birthday!_party_ :bdaycake:

PP Hope DS gets his Nintendo back.

TAG Oh your daughter sounds like proper lilttle flyer.

Kaz Glad you enjoyed Atomic Kiten after all.

Rach Hope you are ok after your fall. I did that a few years ago and damaged my coccyx. tend to take my time now.

Hugs to everyone.

juliejim if it wasn't for the fact it'd be me, 2 kids and 2 dogs I would. The issue I'd have is when the boys want to do something, noone to leave the dogs with. I can't afford another £25 a day to have them looked after and if he's at work he won't be at home/awake enough to look after them (he forgets at the best of times that they need letting out, feeding, water etc) I can't leave them in the caravan, well Megan I could if the weather was cool enough but Luke tries to get out via the window, as I found out when I went to the toilet the last time we were away. He scratched the window trying to. He's a very very nervous dog and hates being left, he's ok at home but that took some working on. I'm staying on my own one night with them at the beginning of August so suppose that will be a test, see if I can manage. I'm going to speak to him tonight anyway, to be honest it's so quiet over the summer at work I can see it being pointless him going in, his boss is going away then for that reason, speak to his boss aswell, he's a nice guy tbh but I know DP feels guilty at the mo if he doesn't make much for him as with the cost of fuel and reduced work he is struggling. Nothings ever easy is it?

Spent the last 15 minutes on the foodfocus website TAG posted, thank you, it looks a great idea for me and might even help DP. He's a faddy dieter who's weight like mine has gone through the roof over the last few years, getting him to keep track on stuff might be a key, he thinks nothing of sitting with 2 pints of milk and a full packet of biscuits as a snack, or half a dozen chocolate biscuits and some crisps so it's the cost aswell as his weight as I am forever having to buy junk for him, I can't keep up with him in HM ones, £7 on just biscuits last week, already gone, just him eaten them. Then he moans the next day that he's fat, has a bad stomach and wants to loose weight so will moan if I make one sausage too many for dinner....then an hour after dinner has a packet of biscuits again...no sense Scary actually, it'll take me about a year based on that calculator to get out of the obese category, but hey, one step at a time.

Anyway made dinner which we've all eaten, DS2 had his latest 'honey and ham' sandwich, yak! Now I'm going to do a list of what else I need to get done today, see if it gives me something to focus on.

TMA Q1 finish
TMA Q2 to do
Get laundry in when dry, fold and take upstairs
Put away the 6 loads of clean/dry laundry
Clean up dog mess from garden
Uniforms out for tomorrow - will see if I can get 3 sets together for DS1 then that's him sorted for the days he has left
Get paperwork ready for tomorrows meeting and write list of ?s and pointers
Vacuum through downstairs
Start filing some of the much neglected paperwork mountain
Tidy kitchen
Tidy living room apart from DPs dumped stuff
Make dinner - no idea what yet
Feed all the animals
Meal plan - as I have just remembered I haven't made one
Sort through the new clothes for me that arrived on Thursday
Bath boys
Make packed lunches for tomorrow (I'll be eating out as there is a buffet on for the meeting )

Talking of paying to do the ironing or getting a cleaner perhaps I should talk to OH about a cleaner after his famous speech about me taking it easier especially as loan finished which means we have an additional £500 to throw about (ok pay off the debts but we wouldnt miss a little bit for a cleaner would we :rotfl: )

and I have just had a text from OH who is at work who says this " I think we should pay someone to do the washing and the ironing".

Would you think we are incredibly in tune with each other or would you think he's been sneaking on to the thread to see what I winge about :rotfl:

Just too spooky for words

jackk_2

Milton or supermarket own brand equivalent can be used in place of anti bac, dilution instructions are on the bottle. I've never used the polishing wipes, i just use cheap polish (i have no real wood lol) and a duster.

i put a few drops of teatree oil or grapefruit seed extract in a spray bottle and fill up with tapwater. we're not dead yet.

pigpen

Kaz.. I'd go with the sneaking on the thread!! lol.. get a cleaner quick while he is keen!

boddy

Oooh Kaz that is spooky!

But grab the chance now he has mentioned it.

kazmeister

He's just texted back that he's serious and we'll get it sorted but like you say pigpen I think he's checking up on me too - hi hunny :A :rotfl:

juliejim

I'd snap his hand off Kaz!

Right kids have gone to the party so I'm now going to tackle DD's bedroom! I may be some time!
