***wanders off to google starclens***
If you google stardrops you get the forums!

DD is all fine, well she was till we got to the school, and another mum called her(not me), to tell me that my DD had said something to her DD( in the same class) which upset her regarding parties, their birthday is on the same day. Now myy DD denied saying anything and this other mum was considering seeing the teacher about this but spoke to me instead, these kids are only nearly 6. But i think, please tell me if i'm being naive, that it would have been better to approach me when DD was already in school(hers was).
anyway,m aybe i'm being too sensitive i know a lot of you have worse things to deal with regarding the children.
right thats off my chest, i have dropped 2 bags of stuff at charity sho, been shopping, put away shopping, planned meals for the week, washing 1 on the line and washing 2 in the machine. Got a colour for my hair so will do half hour in the spare room after work while hair is colouring, and hopefully that will be enough to get it back into shape.

Go with the bleach.. starclens won't do a better job than that.. plus it is abrasive and will scratch the tops.LB moment 10/06 Debt Free date 6/6/14Hope to be debt free until the day I dieMortgage-free Wannabee (05/08/30)6/6/14 £72,454.65 (5.65% int.)08/12/2023 £33602.00 (4.81% int.)0 -

Managed so far to lit the fire, strip and put new bedding on our bed, put clean clothes away from blue bin and stuff that is clean sitting on the bedroom floor and wm back on again.
Getting something to eat (saugage and egg bab yummy) then do a bit more before starting all school runs.Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.And things go wrong no matter what I do.Now and then it seems that life is just too much.But you've got the love I need to see me through.:j :j0 -
Back again! Went to mother and toddler group which small girl enjoyed although she kept stealing other children's drinks! Still got a headache so going to find some painkillers. Have a cup of coffee and just eaten something before I fell over!
My plan today is to have my coffee, do some exercise, then a kitchen a lounge rescue which should only take me half an hour. Can't do the bed at the moment as the spare room is small girls room and she's asleep at the moment. When she's up then I can move her cot and sort the bed out.Fluttering about an inch off the ground, I may fly properly one day and soar in the clouds!
