I came home and my husband was being all secretive, offering to cook and fetch milk for tea etc. Anyway, we were in bed that night and I suddenly remembered that whilst Mr Muscle was sleeping next to me, I forgot to wipe off the Cillit Bang. I headed down to the garage and realised to my horror there is no paint left on the doors.
If he finds out he will go mad. He is down the pub at the moment and I am hiding out at a friends house. EEK.

I wouldnt use cillit bang to defrost, we just leave the doors open.

He had NEVER been shown that pasta was dried and you had to boil it in water to cook it..... and don't get me started on him not knowing how to poach an egg..... :mad:

Ronald Cox hoped cleaning up the glue he spilled on the kitchen floor would be a relatively simple job.
His local hardware store recommended Cillit Bang, the allpurpose cleaner which - according to the TV commercials - has almost miraculous powers.
But after 75- year- old Mr Cox applied it to his floor tiles, he found the product wasn't quite having the desired effect.
So to finish off the task, he used an eggcup full of petrol on the stains. This turned out to be a mistake.
For the cocktail of fluids gave off vapours which were then ignited by the pilot light in his living room boiler.

Did you mean 'the family have been in it for years'? :eek:
This thread has certainly given me a chuckle. Loved the mince story beccam!There's a storm coming, Mr Johnson. You and your friends better batten down the hatches, because when it hits, you're all gonna wonder how you ever thought you could live so large and leave so little for the rest of us.0
