Good Morning All,
My little girl is still off school but I am happy to report that she is so much better today and will be returning to school 2moz. I have no idea what caused her slump but she is recovering well.
Anyways back on topic :-) I have an old toy box (well its old now lol) that I am going fill with hot kettle water then soak my oven shelves in. I do not have any bio washing powder but I am sure there is something in my cupboard that might shift it. I have some stinky winky brown vinegar that I may try, I will be doing this in the garden though as I can not stand the stink.:wave: Wins in 09 = A vodka cocktail kit thing lol, £150 Amazon voucher.0 -
