Weekly Flylady Thread 17th November 2008

Justamum

I can't catch up on the thread - I've still got 5 pages (of 40 posts each page :eek:) to read, but I've got some flying to do, so greetings to all, and I'll see you all later. Oh, and I've still got to finish my patchwork bag! By Saturday morning :eek:

(Does anybody else find they spend so much time reading about flying, that they don't actually get any done? :rotfl:)

Thanks Pigpen, that's what I meant - so I can use them wet, but polish off dry? and it's ok to use window cleaner? see, thick me...;) (how to get confused over a simple cloth in 10 easy steps... sounds like the name for a book.........)

Yes that is right.. but you don't need window cleaner.. I use washing up liquid and hot water or stardrops solution.. and hubby doesn't yell at me (He is a stonemason) Bleach is a no-no though as it corrodes the polished surface.

Microfibre cloths - flower, has anyone mentioned that you shouldn't use fabric conditioner when you wash them? Makes them go fluffy then they don't work as well.

Hi Wit, well done on your list...

It doesn't copy strikeout from word, so you have to strike in your post (has to be done in advanced)... Just highlight the bit you want crossed out, then click on the [STRIKE]S[/STRIKE] button (last one on the right) and it will come up (strike) (/strike) either side - when you post, they will be crossed out... HTH
