Hi All

Im a bit of a lurker on the OS board (have posted just a few times) but read almost everything you wonderful people write here. Anyway have a few questions (please bear in mind I am new to this being domesticated thing!)................

What are soda crystals and what do you do with them?
Will my house not smell like a chip shop if I clean with vinegar?
Keep reading about some sort of drops (stardrops?! or something) what are they?

And of course where can I find all these things? Was quite amused when I looked in my cleaning cupboard yesterday to discover a whole multitude of 'wonder products' Half of which dont work and well the other half of which I dont actually know what to do with!!!

Hi there :beer: As this has fallen from the front page of Old Style, I'll add it to this week's Flylady - a great place for cleaning ideas and inspiration :T

If I can stop sneezing and sniffling, there's a chance I may get something done today! I'm not sure if it is hayfever, or if I have caught another cold. Pain, because I have a meeting with my new department this afternoon, and would rather not sit there with swollen eyes and drippy nose!

I did the main bedroom this morning straight away. I just have to whizz the vacuum around. I have already tidied and vacuumed downstairs. As the vacuum wasn't working very well, I dismantled it ,and cleaned out all the various filters, but it's now really hard to push around, I can't see anything obviously not working, so I shall have to resort to getting out the instruction booklet to see if I did something wrong!

I think I'll have a coffee and maybe go to the allotment. I did a bit in the garden yesterday afternoon, and there's still a long list of jobs to do preferably before we go on holiday - nine days to go!

Have a nice day, see you later!

Lizzie I hope not. Sounds like that description rang bells for you.

Washing Machine Lesson 1 - It helps to turn it on! I thought things were a bit quiet in the kitchen

Morning all - just about to start my essay.

Plan for today :

• Dishes (after lunch or tea - will depend on how many have collected)
• [strike]Change bed[/strike]
• Tea - sausage casserole, must remember to only use half the jar of sauce and freeze the other half, still making enough sometimes to feed 4 out of habit and then it ends up getting eaten so it doesn't go to waste
• Go to Mums to pick up Thesaurus (it would appear that I've binned mine when it fell apart :rolleyes: ) after school
• ESSAY - 1st draft. Then I can rejig it properly when I have my thesaurus.

Right, I'm going to start my essay and switch the internet off so I CAN'T "just check my email...." :wave:

It did unfortunately. Luckily we didn't get married, although we had planned to.

2nd load of washing hung up, TD is on, will do the bedcovers next i think. Our bedroom isnt going to look good no matter what i do to it as there is an extra double mattress in it. It is quite a small room anyway so looks terrible:o I have hoovered round it as best i can:rolleyes: Need to think about lunch now:D
