Hi, I am going to try to do a lot of catching up today as I am snowed in again!

DS3 is home from college and because I was out for three days and DSs were at home it looks like I have never cleaned or tidied anywhere. I am going to write a list for each one of them.

DH is still in bed poorly. I have missed his help in keeping things in order.

Gloves on and ready for the onslaught......

ETA Any hints for unblocking the shower drain would be appreciated. I have tried vinegar and bicarb and I have a septic tank so have to be careful

Get your DSs to fish out the hair & gunk with a crochet hook :D. Try mixing bicarb with salt & cream of tartar, pouring as much down as you can, then pour a jug of boiling water down. Leave for an hour then rinse thoroughly with cold water. Or try soda crystals and boiling water...

Messages from sandy - she's OK (I guess it's all relative!) but tired and due to see the doctor soon. She really appreciates all your messages and says thank you to everyone.

cyclingyorkie

i use the crochet hook method - what is it about kids shedding hair - you'd think they'd be bald......

please pass on love and prayers to Sandy
