    Happy birthday mumof4 - hope you have a wonderful party.

    Gratefulfor help - hugs - I lost one of my dogs the week before Christmas.

    Emily - hugs - you know we're all here to listen and we'll help in any way we can.

    Hope everyone's having a good day. I've been out and done a bit of shopping but haven't got everything I need. Still need to get my mum's bday prezzie - it's tomorrow - but I did manage to get my grandma's - it was actually last Tuesday but we're going over in the morning. I'm not normally this disorganised - presents I normally have organised way in advance!

    Anyone fancy a HHC 1 - 1.30?

    First take

    an ounce of procrastination

    a couple of ounces of determination

    a few wipes

    a microfibre cloth

    some wire wool

    a drop or two of stardrops

    some hot water and a steam cleaner

    Mix together and within an hour or so you have a









    clean oven.:D

    I even unscrewed the glass door and scrubbed it .

    I think this is the first time I have ever cleaned an oven throroughly other than a cursory wipe round with a cloth.



    Thanks Mozzy for mentioning steam cleaner as my fuzzy head remembered that I had one, bought about 4 years ago, *ahem* used about twice :o .

    Anyway fished it out of OH's garage and used it.


    About to tackle the bathroom next.:eek:

    Sorry girls but I haven't had a chance to catch up with the thread. I got lost sometime around Tuesday and haven't caught up since :o:rotfl:

    Anyways, I've got loads of cleaning to do as I didn't do anything last week unless I have to and the place is looking a little worse for wear.. I also have a mountain of washing to do (3 are done, another 3 to go today, and then 1 or 2 tomorrow after baths...) plus I have assignments to get done. So I'm going for a major fly session today, and then ironing tonight, and studying tomorrow. This could take me a while even without the extras though...
