  • Thanks Toots, that'll teach me not to bother looking for the list!

    I am making progress, I'm getting into the swing of doing a bit each night and I kind of feel that if I can get the cooker clean then I can do anything!

    Still not really sure how I'll get it all done but I've come to the conclusion that it will all happen in the end!

  • Ahh bless, Stripes the dalmation! My friend's pup is called Poppy, she was a rescue type (barn dog) and had only ever been called puppy before so they went for Poppy as it was close enough!

    Our pup likes Kongs frozen with nice food inside of them, we use left over casserole and stock blended down a bit, apparently the cold is good for their teeth. Our Lola also LOVES ice cubes, it started with lumps of ice off the pond and now she'll stand by the freezer looking hopeful!

    Our dog is called poppy too! We put stuff in the kong but freezing it is a great idea - thankyou!

    I'm now decluttering some cheese left from Saturday! xx
  • PIGLET - If you hang your coat up and use the upholstery brush (small triangular one I think from the info you posted) it will certainly freshen up your coat. Just experiment. I know you can get ironing attachments but I would try this way first before parting with extra cash.
    The problem with common sense is its not very common:rotfl:
