    You get them in Sainsburys - its a shame we didnt talk about this earlier! I know youve just been. You get it in a green bag - about the size of a bag of sugar, beside the dishawsher tablets and Vanish Oxy Stuff and the likes. It was on the bottom shelf so hard to spot, but look for it the next time.

    Good old bleach works too - your doing it to break down the soap and grime build up in your pipes etc so even a load of stardrops will do the trick - any good detergent and a hot wash xx
    The Sainsbury's I went to is a very small town centre one, so they probably wouldn't have had it anyway. We have tons of lemon juice so have put som of that in, and a couple of cleaning cloths, one of which is covered in bleach from cleaning bathroom earlier. I've put it on at the hottest wash which is 90 degrees.
    Thanks for the tips Jo, I will get some soda crystals asap!

    Managed to get the back lawn cut before the school run. Just having a cuppa then going to put the spuds in the AGA and do the front. Might have thought the plan through better as I have to push the mower through the kitchen over the floor I mopped this morning.

    Aw well done!! Have fun - last year my sister was living in Dublin as she was working as a Trolley Dolly. Her and a few of the girls from work had a night out and as it was the holiday weekend, they couldnt all get taxis home, so my sister and her flatmate stayed with one of the other girls. But of course, next day was St Patricks day, so all the buses were off, no taxis, and they had to do the walk of shame through a VERY VERY crowded Dublin City Centre!! :rotfl: She was wearing a pair of very short shorts and stilleto shoes, so she couldnt pretend she hadnt stayed out all night!! She's only just starting to live it down now!!!

    Ok, ok - less chatting more flying!!! Am off home now to get on with my list, sort out which of my To-Do's I am carrying over from last week to this week.

    MOZZY!!!! Come kick me please!!!! Need to do the ironing!!!! xxx

    Stopping by Sainsbury on my way home and hopefully get in 5 mins gardening before it gets too dark!!! xx

    All the washing is dry, folded and put away. So nice to be able to dry it outside and put it straight away.

    Pottered in the garden, pulling up a few weeds etc.
