    Ive also cleaned the living room window. Just having a cuppa just now, then will start again soon.

    MY MACAW CHALLENGE IS TO RUN AT LEAST 1KM ON THE TREADMILL EVERYDAY SO I CAN LOSE WEIGHT FOR GOING ON HOLIDAY TO CANADA IN JULY.

    I know there is no chit chat allowed on the board, but, I need to ask a bit of advice. Its about cleaning so hopefully I wont get into trouble.

    My tv sits on a black glass unit, and dusting it doesnt make any difference. Ive no sooner dusted it, and its covered with specs of dust again. Can anyone give me any tips as to how I can clean it without the dust clinging back onto the glass straight away.

    I'm a cleaner and believe me they are a nightmare, I'd never get one lol you could try damp wiping then buffing with a dry cloth, or try one of those dusters that you use on the LCD/plasma TV's. Good Luck. eTA: glass cleaner and kitchen roll works too usually.
