    Morning all! Done HIC, found Shelob's lair at the bottom of the ironing mountain.

    Any views on what to clean windows with, I have been using window spray ( smells nice, doesn't work too well) and meths (stinks, works less well) they are sadly neglected, do I give in and just use neat bleach?!

    Happy Flying...


    I know the answer to this as I am now addicted to Kim and Aggie!!!!

    They used lemon juice cos it had a nicer smell than vinegar, and they just splashed it on and wiped it with a paper towel/kitchen roll and then buffed it up with some newpaper!!!

    Im going to try it on my patio doors, as i never seem to be able to get them streak-free......

    Morning all, lovely day here.

    Two loads of washing on the line, including my bedding, and it's drying well. I love typing that!

    So, I've done all the bedrooms today Toots:) and I've done the bathroom and toilet too Toots :) As far as I remember my two stars I already have are for the living room and kitchen so I think I can have two more now.

    Also, I've made a batch of Easter biscuits using the last of my oil of cassia and a fruit cake.

    Vacuumed through downstairs and all the washing up is done and put away.

    I'm not really being good, I'm having a day out with DD2 tomorrow so I want everything done. I don't mind doing some housework over bank holiday weekends but I don't like having loads to catch up on, I'd much rather do it early.

    Hope everyone's OK, I haven't caught up yet this morning.
  • Pantry done, except can't do floor as DD2 will wake up as she hates the hoover.
    Off to do the fridge, and DH is digging the garden, yay!
