    well the HHC turned into an hour, I was interrupted by a phone call from a friend which went on for 45 mins! But I carried on whilst we chatted. WM is on, mount washmore added to :eek: as I have started 'op BR clearance' Also put loads of clothes into SW3 & 5's BR's ready for going away. I will help them do this after school, wanted to keep on with our room for now. Stripped the bed and put it on to wash. Checked online banking and replied to an email after due consideration. So all in all a productive time.

    Going to have a :coffee: now and a gisguit as SW5 would say, help yourselves.

    ETA Count me in at 11.30 jjef :)

    Morning ladies,

    Can I have your opinion on this please,

    I have these cushions that say dry clean only, do you think they will be ok to do on a hand wash or wool wash.

    Ok I was going to post a picture but I dont know how, anyone help?

    thanks TF x

    What is the fabric mix?

    Wiping woodwork somebody asked yesterday. If I'm wiping mine I just a damp microfibre cloth. If I'm just dusting it I have some great dusters (from M&S I think) which are anti static and the dust really sticks to them HTH.

    I've hoovered all of downstairs, wiped the wood and wall in the hallway especially where DS3 swings above the stairs:rolleyes: which was somewhat grubby.

    Decluttered all the hairs from my legs.

    Just having a cuppa and a list update.
