    I'm in again for the New Year - the last time I joined you dh noticed the difference within a couple of days and I found it much easier to deal with - but then 5 weeks of tonsilitis/ virus intervened before Christmas - and another bug over Christmas - back to school and work tomorrow - and I feel I can start with the bathroom as we have the smallest one in the world!!

    Thanks Pigpen

    ... oh, and does anyone know where I can get white vinegar in decent quantities? I'm getting fed up with having to buy loads of those small glass bottles!

    I get mine from costco in 5 litre jugs. I cant remember how much they are, but ridiculously cheap. I think you can also get them in Chinese supermarkets if you have one nearby.

    White vinegar should be available in 5l bottles but apparently Mr T and Mr S do 2 litre bottles...
    Try a wholesalers such as Makro - you'll need a letterhead to get a card...

    I'm in this week - the bathrooms are absolutely disgusting. Spent the end of last week building furniture from Ikea and rearranging the house. Just waiting for some carpet to be fitted in DS room on Wednesday and then I can build his new wardrobe. DH off to China again on Tuesday for nearly 3 weeks so I'll be able to get on top of things.

    Have a good evening
