    You can buy stuff to spray on and wipe off, but I've found that a tea-tree-oil solution works better than the stuff the shop sells, and it's cheaper, nicer-smelling, and doesn't leave bleached spots on the duvet cover when your other half lets it drip...

    I cleaned up my conservatory last week and used the remains of a bottle of the B&Q brand stuff to start with, then switched to the TTO solution when I ran out, and discovered the TTO was more effective. I'd imagine it would be safer than the bought stuff on wallpaper or paintwork too.
    Do you put it on neat or diluted?

    PLUS - I never knew how much dogs STINK when they are wet!!! EEEeeeeewwwwwwwww!

    That is reason No 11 on my very long list of 'why to never get a dog'

    Back from the ortho, just going to sort out my list, do 15 minutes and then make lunch before we head out in the other direction.

    Next order has arrived and DS2&3 stuff is a big success so that is good. Mine one is a no, one is a I think I need a smaller size, one is a I think I need to try it on over a different colour. Pillows I hope are a success tonight - trying anti alergy for DS3 rather that than the feather he has at present.

    Just taken the cake out of the oven, it smells lovely.

    Dinner is cooking.

    Ordered some inks for the printer, one is showing as nearly out and having checked I am low on all of them.

    Still raining. One of the cats thinks it's good to go out of the front door and walk round to the back and wait to come in. I'll let him ponder that for a while before letting him back in. Maybe he'll think twice next time. Doubt it though.

    Why do they never realise if it is raining out one side of the house it is raining the other as well?!

    I relented and let him in, he walked two steps in front of me then plonked himself down and washed his bottom.

    Advice please - and it is flying cos it's flinging
    How much should I ask for a second hand Trolley Jack?
    Screwfix have one at £18 which is the cheapest...
    I was thinking of maybe putting it on the board at £15 to give me wiggle room (down to £10).
    (I am putting it on the board in the supermarket...and I feel really anarchic cos it actually belongs to exH - he left 5 years ago next week....so obviously not bothered (that's my defence if he ever does ask LOL))
