    :confused: where do you get soda crystals?:confused:
    :confused: also, any idea on which shops sell stardrops currently?:confused:

    Soda Crystals are available in Asda with the laundry stuff or with the multi-purpose cleaners.

    Stardrops I get in Asda (multi-surface cleaners, in mine its on the bottom shelf ;) ) or Home & Bargain, Home & Bargain also sell other Stardrops like cleaners ;)

    Morning all.

    Unfortunately it's shopping for me to start the day, when I drag DP out of bed. Wish I'd realised sooner as I'd have ordered it online to save me money.

    Cleaning is mainly clearing here, need a serious declutter today, I might even have a few bits for ebay as someone said try there for motox boots for my son I seen how much they go for so might pop his outgrown ones on there!

    Have added those who have requested so far to Facebook, feel free to natter/post images on there. Will start a thread for 'week 12th january natter' in discussion.
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    Ok I started to read all the new replys on here as it was my challenge for this week to keep up with it. Only problem is there is nine new pages and there is way that I can read through it as more replies keep getting added lol.

    Not done anything today I know what needs doing and will make a start soon I have the washing machiene repair man coming today and I need to go shopping. Add on top all the usual stuff that needs doing and a very nasty AF and you have a very grumpy Zoey.

    I will give my self a boot up da bum soon.
