    Hugs to AnW'sMum, Miss A & Master W today and to anyone else remembering a special person they have lost. Special thoughts for Mudders also - hope she is well and coping. xxx

    Just popping on to say that I'm working away on my research today - have to mail something off tonight; and then go in next Thursday to get the admin done for my appointment (pass card, photos, car park permit...) plus lunch with HoD whom I've never met!! :eek:

    I'm terribly nervous - and keep thinking that at any moment they will work out what a horrendous mistake they have made... :o:o:o... I actually have very little background or qualification for the appointment they've given me...

    Ah well... best get on... today's list:

    (Toots: don't suppose I could have a sixth star if I get all that done..? :rotfl:No - OK!)

    Love
    MissH

    what am i doing wrong? I can't see any avatars..

    You need to go into quick links, it is along the green bar at the top. There should be an edit options link in it. Once in there look for the see avatars option in the thread display option, it is about half way down the page. You have to tick the box to be able to see them.

    Again go into quick links and edit options. Along the left hand side you will see 'edit avatar' click on that and you can add an avatar.

    Can I really put the shower curtain in the washing machine?
    Luckily I have spare ones put by for homebirth so can replace if it goes wrong but am just checking before I try...

    Also, bits betweeen tiles are going yellow and around bath is mouldy - shall I paint with bleach? If so do I have to clean it off?

    shower curtains - absolutely yes! Best thing I've found is to wash them in vinegar!!!! I know - bizarre but true! Put them on a lowish setting, should get any gunk off.

    For bits between the tiles, the parazone (I think) grout buster bleach - about £1 a bottle from ASDA works fantastically with an old toothbrush. Brings them up like new xx
