Hi Ladies,

Will catch up properly later, and post my list (can't find my mouse and it's a chore using the lappy one), but I have finally finished the living room so can I have another star please Toots! My 2nd one, yeehah! Downstairs looks like a dream, upstairs is like a midden, ha!

Have a nice day ladies xx

Toots how about an av of you!

Right
Unpacked car
Sorted out socks and amde pairs of al lthe oddsocks, the odd ones left over are in another heap.
Been to the office for an hour
Put some more items on ebay
Been to the local farm open day
Watching the Grand Prix
Then after GP going to walk round the Peace Pergoda near Willen lake in MK
Chops defrosting for dinenr tonight.

In order to get a post count like quaser you would need to post approx 80 or so per day every day for about a year at least! and then more to allow for what she / he posts in the mean time............

WD40...

Ink is not (usually) water soluble and biro ink is thick so you need a solvent BUT some solvents will 'go for' plastics. Don't use nail varnish remover (although you could on fabric - I am assuming this is a lino type flooring). If you haven't got WD40 try lighter fluid or petrol or turps substitute BUT patch/spot test in an out-of-the-way place first.

I notice Toots has also come up with some useful suggestions BTW.

(QUOTE]
Thank you.
I have tried WD40 it didn't touch it, not a bit.
I have also tried... white spirit, star drops, wu liquid, tooth paste, mr muscle bathroom cleaner, bio washing powder.
Just tried petrol - no joy.
The only thing that made any difference was hairspray, but it diluted the mess and then spread it about. I will have to go and buy another tin from poundland. His room smells so odd, I have the window open so hopefully it will be ok by the time he gets home tonight - is away in paris until 12 midnight so time yet to clear it.

Toots - as a newbie to this thread i was also unaware of your siuation. If i can do anything at all to help with your wish list along the way, i'd be more than happy to do so. I live in Kent and would welcome anyone who needed a 'stop-over' to see you, or for you to see them. (((big hugs))) and thank you for being so open xx

Apparently it's a secret

From FAQs

"The more you post (write or reply to messages) on the boards, the higher-ranked MoneySaver you become. There are four levels and at each you get another star and change of title. The exact thresholds are a closely guarded secret. However, it’s all perfectly fair."

that explains why I've never been able to find out! I just thought it was me being dumb

ETA: maybe it's also to do with how frequently you post and how many times you've been thanked? oh dear I'm thinking about this far too much! off to flap for a bit
