    Morning All :hello:

    I hope everyone is well and chirpy today. I've got a busy afternoon, so I need to crack on this morning. I may tackle the room of doom today (DD2 &3) It's built up again, and is a disgrace.

    Right coffee time. :coffee:

    Morning all

    Emily - well done on finishing your list!
    JulieJim - Rach's GB is Girls Brigade I believe!
    Lil-me - SS are already involved fortunately and do keep an eye on her. She goes to Day Centres and things. It's so sad really. We wonder about old g*t's mental health sometimes - he's the one who wants to make a steam engine!

    I'm glad it's Friday. It's been a busy week at work this week.

    Will fly when I get home. Have a lovely day ladies and gents
    I am the leading lady in the movie of my life

    Hi again! so this isn't really to do with flying but I've a quick question that I'm hoping you knowledgeable ladies will have a solution to..
    I have a uniform for work which is white, after being washed & worn daily for the last 3 plus years, none of them are now looking quite so white :rolleyes: . I always wash them on their own, I use washing liquid for whites, I've tried hot washes, pre soaks, add to your wash extra powder things, but none of it gets them looking properly clean if you know what I mean..

    has anyone got any suggestions??

    get your company to issue with new ones!

    It sounds like they have been well loved and washed, but now after 3 years have had it!
