    Hi and thanks for all the replies. I have had baking soda on the cushion all day but it still smells.

    Is it a cushion that could be dampened with a cooled solution of bicarb in hot water, spray or dabbed on? Then it would dry & take any smell with it?

    Only a quicky - just to say we went to see the Hairy Bikers last night....they were so funny, and we were starving afterwards! They made a prawn curry & parathas, then later a fillet steak on crouton-thing with rocket salad & courgette & lemon linguini.....we were upstairs, so could see & smell everything :drool:

    I second that. Well not saying that Jackie waffles :o er er er <tries to remove foot from mouth> I mean I waffle ;)

    Don't be shy Carolinejane just jump in with both feet :D

    Both kids refusing to eat their dinner. Why do I bother <smacks forehead>

    On the plus side we shelled loads of peas this morning (which said kids won't eat) but even better is I have my first raspberries ripening :D Not that I eat them - I don't really "do" fruit :o but I just love growing things :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Evening all

    Sorry but I've not read the thread yet, so (((hugs))) to those in need.

    Today at work flew by! :jI went to the gym after work, first time in 2 weeks, and took out all my frustration over a certain person (loooong story! :o) on the equipment, and felt a million times better!

    I made pasta with HM chilli tomatoey sauce for tea. The sauce was leftover from Sat, so just had to boil the pasta really. I made enough for lunch tomorrow. I am on a course which should have a free lunch tomorrow but it may not be nice lunch or veggie friendly, plus I'm back on my diet (SW) so wanted to remove temptation!

    DW went on this morning so have just emptied that. I try not to use it very often, only when I have lots of very dirty pans etc :rotfl:.

    Off to flop on sofa now with a book :D

    Have a good evening all

    ...I agree that some of these youngsters need telling who pays the bills .I would have been mortified to have treated my parents house with such disrespect...

    I wouldn't ever dream of such behaviour in my parents house either, and I'm not that much older than some of these children were mentioned to be. Dear me, reading some of you lot makes me very glad I don't have kids. Trashing the place, eating all the food, NOT eating the food... No thanks! :eek:

    Now then, I'm off to scoff some of these here lovely reduced strawberries I snaffled earlier. They were all marked down because they're short-dated and going off, but I poked around and found a pack that doesn't look like it has too many soft/bruised/furry bits so it might last, if not I shall simply be forced to eat them up sooner. It's a hard life, isn't it? :D

    good evening
    I did an extra shift at work today and really feel like I've acheived somthing.
    After work I came home and made two lasagnes one veg and one meat theres plenty of veg left for other dinners but DH was very hungry and ate tooooo much meat lasagne.:eek:
    The weather threatened rain but it stayed dry, cooler than yesterday but hey ho!! Must remeber to wate r veg later.!

    Have to comb DD3's hair tonite the little beasties are back!! DH says its like fleaing. Tried to persuade this daughter to do the vinegar thing but she's not having any of it.

    Seems like i've had a really boring day/evening but I am a very happy girl. I can feel an early night coming on.:T
    big hugs
