    Hi everyone,
    Please can anyone suggest how I might get mildew spots off the rollout awning on our campervan. I was gutted to find it, as it was new last year (the awning) we must have put it away damp at some time, but certainly not intentionally:( . I am a bit loathe to try bleach for fear of ruining the fabric.
    Any suggestions will be most welcome.

    Hello all,
    I forgot that MSE was out of action today, when I tried to post and couldn't I realised how much I need my friends and how much I would miss the contact with all of you. Just imagine if this thread was to disapear :eek: Dread the thought. Am I sad or what? :o

    I haven't had time to read through since y/day a.m. but will go and catch up.

    Luv'n'stuff Beth x

    Yep, I've managed to sew up lots of baby clothes I've been knitting. Now I'm back to knitting squares so I can knit while I catch up with everyone.

    Nice to see you back,
    Bella.

    Oh, I forgot to say

    Can I get two big woop woops today because....

    I bought a kitchen larder cupboard. Yes, the kind I have been looking for on Ebay for ages :D Went into the local re-furnish place and they had one!!!! It was priced at £76, then the chap asked if I was on benefits, I said no and he said 'Oh, you can have it for £50 anyway!!!!!' :D:D:D It is being delivered on the 10th.

    AND (this is the best one)

    .....for the first time in about 5 years, I felt genuinely happy today. I know that sounds silly :o , but I did. great tracks on the radio, sun was shining....the kind of happiness that makes you tingle all over :D. Have not felt that since I finished my GCSEs.
