    I'm not impressed by my Miele it doesn't wash as well as my old machine which was a Bosch. They used to be made in Germany but they are not anymore apart from the top of the market ones.



    Dont know where mine was made? Cost me an arm and a leg though:eek: But i do love it, washes my stuff really well, even hubbys smelly stuff comes out clean.

    Kaz he has already done that on his last day of lessons. They have been on exam leave since mid May but today is his last exam. When he goes to the last assembly/6th form introduction in a couple of weeks they will wear 6th form smart dress. His sweatshirt for school is bottle green and really suits him. Doubt he'll wear that colour for years now (I didn't red for about a decade).

    Shower room done.
    Kitchen door mat in the WM

    Onto the ironing.

    I'm not doing very well. I usually just fill the sink for washing up and use the washing up bowl if i have to clean something upstairs. I thought i'd save a bit of hot water and use the bowl for washing up. It was on top of the fridge freezer, underneath a box. So i lifted up the box and didn't realise there were 4 cans of lager inside it. Oops the cans went down the back of the FF and one exploded.:eek: I had to move it out and clean it all up, my house stinks now of lager.:cool: I did manage to wash up as well but i've had to stop as i feel really sick and dizzy.

    Almost time for the school run, i'll see what i can achieve when i get back. Sorting stuff on top of the FF is going on my extras list.

    Well i haven't done anything today in the house. Instead i've been out the back, cleaning my spewing drain bluergghh. It absolutely reeked.So now thats kind of clean but will have to do it later.

    Been to the market and bought some salad stuff, also sowed some veg, salad and toms. Sorted out three black bags worth of plant pots to give to give away. So my back yard is looking much cleaner and smells healthier.

    so going to sort the bathroom out later.
    Got the recycle ready for tomorrow, and decluttered loads of carp from inside the house. still can't believe how much junk we have. Ah well onwards and upwards.

    Quick cuppa then off to pick the boys up.
