    :confused:Was washing and polishing my toaster today - its a stainless steel one, and in the past it has been hit by olive oil etc when frying and it leave smudgy marks (IYKWIM) and I've tried fairy liquid, spray degreaser etc and can't get it to come up like new (shiny no streak marks), any suggestions?:confused:

    Humph there I was finishing off my tx return like a good girl and now it seems like the revenue website doesn't want to play :mad: Oh well it's just about done, just need to double check I have completed everything correctly before I hit the final submit button.

    I bought some on eBay. It was made by HG and certainly does the job. The mould remover to get black spots off silicone sealant is good too.

    had a lovely catching up day at Cornhill - it was our first of the year because of the bad weather - sadly we have lost 2 of our group over the holidays but its to be expected given our illnesses.They were both newcomers so we hadnt go to know them very well but the lady had made it to our Christmas lunch and really enjoyed it and it was good to know that they were cared for in the new in-bed unit downstairs which must have made it easier on their families to be with them.

    I remembered to take the bag of 'stuff' with me so that was more clutter gone.

    half the ironing has been done (by my lovely cleaner!)

    ironing all put away by me

    1 parcel went to the post office with my cleaner

    several phone calls taken tonight which hasnt helped the flying

    local paper read and discovered our BHS is closing and the site being leased to Primark - thats a good result !
