    Welcome Carol
    and yes you can double up if necessary!

    having said that - don't double up AND level 3!

    I used 100ml stardrops and 400ml water in a spray bottle I had saved and washed out - so at about 80p a bottle that makes a lot of cheap cleaning mix. The people on the stardrops thread, quite rightly, advise checking on an out of the way bit of carpet first (I didn't do this :o ). Some of them also use vinegar, presumably white - I would if I was using it for windows but I am using up some other stuff first. The lab technician in me would suggest you put the water in first before adding the stardrops then it won't foam up. My bottle is clear - I think it was a cif oxy action one and it works VERY well! I added the link!

    Are we seperated at birth by any chance? This is exactly what I've done down to the same bottle :rotfl::rotfl:

    Hi Carol anything it allowed here. Flybabies tend to do better if they don't play catch up as it can be demoralising and everything will come around again next week. Why not just try and do level 1 tomorrow and start Wednesday or Wedesday? good luck

    Tea nearly ready so just time to pack kids toiletries.

    Glad they are doing something Valli!

    Hospital appt went fine, though i get very grumpy at all the waiting. Got there at 1.50pm for my 2pm appt. Finally got to see consultant at 4.35:rolleyes: Argh! Had to have LO re-casted for a new brace, her old one is too short, feel so sorry for her when she gets it done, but she was very good. Glad she'll get a new one as the one she has is getting smelly, she's had it for over a year and wears it every day so not a surprise its smelly!

    I'd have been spitting chips.. I refuse to wait more than an hour unless there is a genuine emergency.. I am usually first in after lunch though so not much waiting.

    A nice clean brace will be lovely for her. Why do they not make them out of something washable if they are to be worn all the time? mad isn't it! Just shows she is getting bigger though.. we are going because mine DON'T get bigger!
