    I have a gleaming oven door and I am working on the inside now. Who would believe I had already done it once this week. It is just as gunky.

  • Hey girls!

    Thanks to everyone for the hugs and nice comments re my dog. Very sweet of you all x

    two questions...

    1. Any suggestions/recommendations for buying CHEAP curtains over the internet. I want some Black & White (with a bit of red!) ones for the bedroom, which is in the process of receiving a make-over! Ive tried eB*y to no avail.. :confused:

    2. How do I get grout clean??? Having painted the kitchen, the grout in the tiles above the cooker is looking R E A L L Y grotty. Ive tried the "usual" cleaners and Stardrops, of course! Any tips? dont really want to buy grout whitener if I can do it cheaper myself!:confused:

    Thank you!!!

    Mrs B xx

  • ahhh, don't worry re the curtains, just blew the budget and bought http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=330357209464&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT

    The bottom of my oven is a bit clearer now but there is still fat burned on to the bottom so I have cheated and used an oven cleaner. Going to leave it for a couple of hours to do its work, hopefully it will be off and clean by the time OH gets home.

    Haven't had lunch yet but need to wait until the cleaner fumes die down. After lunch I may venture into the spare room :mad:
