    I don't have any cleaning tips - sorry as never used them. But wanted to ask where did you find them? The giant tescos near me doesn't do them and i don't have a wilkos around here.

    Thanks


    I have hunted high and low for them, in various supermarkets / discount shops, but got some today in Morrisons Bulwell. (near Nottingham ) (they had 5 bottles only 0.67p per bottle.

    Ring plumber (loo has stopped flushing...eeek:eek: )
    Look up carers info on google
    Find BS book
    Bake some cheesy bread rolls
    Start a tescos shop
    Write some reviews
    Do my click thrus
    make OH take a nap, he looks so tired.

    Weather let me down today - no sunshine as was promised.:mad: , so no gardening.

    Hope you are all having a good day flying!

    List completed so i'm just wandering throwing stuff in a charity bag. Ds has friend here until 530 so I won't be able to study until after then. Dd has gone to a friend's house. Also managed to do an extra washing load, brush the puppydog, tidy the back garden and sort out all the bins.

    Dh going away at the weekend with his mate (I get to go away in October) so I want to finish the studying this week so I can enjoy a weekend off with the children. That's the plan!!! Ok, what else can I put in the charity shop....a child? a cat? dh? :D xx

    Sending a great big Hug to Diva. Is there anything we can help with?
    Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.
