    I'm in as well

    TF I would wash the cushions but then I am lazy! Would you be upset if they were ruined? If not test one, if yesthen dry clean ;)

    Thx AnW'sMum, I'll try that, its a good idea, I can't afford to pay for 8 covers to be dry cleaned, our only one is a major chain and they charge a fortune!

    Right I'm going to test one cover, strip the bed, and think about getting washed and dressed, my DH took A/Leave today as my arm was sooo painful in the night, he knew DS would be climbing over me etc that he thought he would stay home and help me! Very sweet of him (what does he want!!!!!:rolleyes:)

    We are thinking about taking DS somewhere together as we dont often get to do that.

    The maintenance crew have arrived to fix the flat's windows - although we own the flat, we aren't responsible for the windows. Ours have had condensation/damp round them for ages and one of our neighbours had plastic put in the window recesses and that has done the trick. We asked for the same as we were constantly putting damp proof stuff on the window recesses. They have just started in the living room (thank goodness I didn't have to worry about any grot!) and are talking about replacing the window sills as well as they are bowed so the windows don't open properly. Luckily should still be able to get on with the list today.
