    is this this stuff you can buy from wilko's? a friend told me yesterday that it is brill! might have to get some next time i am in town!

    Yes i got mine from Wilko's and it is like magic. I remember my mother using Mr Muscle years ago and stinking the house out!! This has no odour at all i was well impressed.

    It was cheaper from there too. I left my shelves in overnight.

    Back from the gym going to fly then get a shower. My friend is coming over later i am going to teach her how to cook.

  • Morning flyladies.

    Hi Miss Shattered...thanks for letting us know about Toots. Have fun flying in your Grandma's caravan.

    Happy Birthday SSL...hope you have a great day.

    Hope your not feeling too bad today LL. Thinking of you.

    How's DS's hands this morning elf?

    msgnomoney....sorry to hear about exMIL.

    GnB....good op vibes for your LO for today. Hope all goes well.

    Well I went to the gym last night but I ended up at SIL's for a bit chatting to her so didn't get there until 9.15pm and it closes at 10pm so ended up doing half an hour on the treadmill but I ran quite fast so was exhausted when I got home. When I got home I folded AND actually put away the washing I'd dried that day and then collapsed into bed and slept like a log. Didn't wake up this morning until 9.25am and that's only because DD was shouting me. She slept well too.

    Having a chilling out morning. The girls have been pottering and playing with the dolls things this morning and I've been drinking coffee and catching up on the thread. Might end up looking after my niece and nephew this afternoon for a few hours but then we're off to a party in Warrington at 5pm then I've got to shoot back down the motorway as I've got a market research at 7.45pm round the corner from here. It's come at a good time....don't get paid until Monday and could really do with the £35.

    Anyway...I'm waffling now so I suppose I should do a bit of flying. Got HM carrot, potato and lentil soup for lunch so I think I'll make a start on the kitchen while that's warming through. REALLY need to wash my hair though. Might do that first.

    Good morning all
    Happy Birthday SSL:bdaycake:
    :mad:Rant alert

    sat on my 2 seater sofa last night (usual place) and thought it felt a bit soft so I have hacked out the bottom and looked up it - 3 broken springs. Irrepairable. Not happy. Now on Sunday DS and his GF had been faffing about on there - whether it was wholly down to him I will never know but if the springs had gone under me I am ceratin I would have felt them. So I have swapped the three seater with the two seater so the broken part is where no-one usually sits.

    Add this to the fact that I am now bucket less because DS took it car washing and swung it round and dropped it and brought it home with a dirty great crack in the bottom...I feel, sometimes, like I just follow them round repairing damage:mad::mad: usually accidental but definitely careless...

    Off to find a list
