    Sorry Triker i couldnt think of anything - i thought some of the others would have jumped in - what about the bleach you can use on clothes - is it called ACE? or vanish?

    No probs hun, I tried the oxygen stuff and some whitening stuff, it has faded but it still there....its on hubby's work shirts and I haven't told him yet....:o

    Phone Polar for missing trim and compare price with local garage
    Decide on car tyre deals

    I'll update and post new lists in the evenings this week - won't have time to keep up with the thread, just read last page each time I'm on. Have a good week, everyone.

    Good night all.

    Good night all.

    We needed 4 tyres on our second car and they came in at 50.00 +vat each !! DH went to Halfords for something else and ended up buying alloys and tyres for 249 so in theory we got a set of alloys for less than 50.00. Only worked out better cause we needed 4 .

    Well I couldn't get the mould spots out of the washing, I did ask earlier but no-one offered any suggestions....I used a 'whitening' product that is supposed to get rid of stains but it hasn't. Dunno what to do, may have to bin all the washing.:confused:

    I'm sure there's a special mould stain remover - one of the stain devils? Or you could try google and see what comes up. It's the kind of thing I'd have asked my mum... Hope you can sort it.
