Thanks Jean will look into that .

Help!!!

Has anyone got any ideas how to solve a bit of a disaster!
I have not been able to life the kettle full of water so I have been using a measuring jug to top up the kettle. All fine ....... Until I made some bread and measured some vegetable oil in the measuring jug. I then obviously topped the kettle up before I washed the jug!!!!!
You can see it can't you?
The boiled water has a film of oil over it and the drinks taste foul.
We have washed the electric kettle carefully with washing up liquid inside. We have boiled it with washing up liquid. We have washed it with vinegar and boiled it with vinegar . So far no luck. As soon as you boil the kettle you can smell the deposit of oil and it is forming a scum on the tea.
The kettle is only a few months old and was an expensive one.
Has anyone got any ideas please???

Thank you.

I don't know if this would work as it's not exactly the same as a water kettle but try googling for "how to clean a popcorn kettle" because you obviously put oil in the machine when you make popcorn. Heat 'n Kleen kettle cleaner seems to be recommended a lot - it's for the inside of a kettle and is designed to remove grease (and carbon residue).

Afternoon all
dry but sooo cold here today...but no matter I have had a lovely time with MrsTwins we have been out and about delivering blankets...it's so nice to see the lady/gent who is the new owner of a gorgeous cuddly blanket. At the first home we visited there were a lot of ladies and just one gentleman, he saw the blankets as we laid them on the table and he said he loved a red blanket he was so pleased when we gave it to him...Just what I need he said to keep my feet warm... then another lady a gentle soul was so thrilled with a blue blanket she was near to tears.
MrsTwins has lots of photos to post on SIBOL later, so please go take a look to see where we have been

Still coughing and spluttering but nowhere near as bad as it was, so hopefully its on the way out,

chalky - :eek: o my goodness I hope you can get the gunge out of it. I have been reading through your 'world' I love catching up on things, what a lovely surprise having DD2 home for a while, William 10 months already and growing so fast, he is sooo cute. I love my little owl thank you again he is hanging on a door knob in the living room, and the flower is pinned to my jacket
kathy - I hope your internet gets sorted soon its such a pain when things go haywire. Hope all is well with BIL and your dear sis and your Mom. Any news with the house?

Afternoon all
Just a quick post cold but dry here and some lovely sunshine

chalky- just told OH about the kettle and if you haven't already tried it he sugested Milton...its what we use to clean the barrels out down at the caravan..it could be worth a try

Managed a few butterfly's for MrsTwins last night and some handwarmers for L/H, I seem to be jumping from one thing to another lately nothing I can seem to get my teeth into IYKWIM

I am determined to bring some sort of order to my wool stash it seems to be all over the place again....wonder why...;)

Take care all and keep warm

Im busy busy busy, too much to do but all the charity commitments are done now just one parcel to post :j:j Nearly all xmas pressies done except a couple of throws which are a huge pile of squares getting bigger every day.

Hope everyone has sorted their problems, kettles, tinternet eating too much chocolate I have a packet of midget gems with my name on hidden in the spice cupboard for tense moments when I dont think Im getting everything done:T I bought all the men in the family little wheelie bins - did I already tell you this? - which Im going to fill with bags of sweeties, the bins were from a £ shop and are for the rubbish on your desk. They are so cute.

hugs to all and wishes for good days to you. xxx

Chalky - I know it sounds daft but eucalyptus oil gets rid of grease in clothes, (obviously you need to wash them afterwards though), so I'm wondering if it would get rid of the oil in your kettle? You would need to boil it a few times to get rid of the smell though. Not sure if I'm being of any help or not - it's getting late!

Mrs_Twins

Hi everyone!
Thanks pippa for telling MSE about our visits.pippa was a star coming with me. Yes please pop over to SIBOL and read all about it.

Chalky thank you for your kind comments on Mrs Twins Blog,much appreciated.

I do hope you have recovered well Chalky.

Our Blankets have been delivered and I have lots of new challenges for the New Year with one 'very special one!' so please tune in on 1st January 2013

Thanks to everyone who has helped me on MSE for your help with the Blankets this year, without your help I wouldn't have got all these empty boxes! A wee rest now while I get things ready for Christmas.
Thanks to you all,
Love Sue x

I have a feeling you dont actually do much resting Mrs Twins there will be lots of elderley people very touched by the blankies this year.

im off to the dentsit at 12 hoping he will remove a tooth I broke last week. I can say this dentist has restored my faith in his breed after many many years of cruel treatment which left me completely phobic about them. So am off for a shower then Im done.

hope everyone is keeping warm today hugs ginny
