KH going to the girls sports day.. which means I don't have to go and try standing there for an hour.. thank goodness!! I've asked if he wants to collect them for a bit to spend some time with them after school so we shall see what response that gets.. I think they would love it.. but he may have to go back to work so we shall see..

I need help from you oldstyle experts. Rather disturbingly it seems I have no idea how to clean the glass in my shower or what to clean it with. This means that in the three years we have lived in this brand new house, I have never given it more than a cursory hose down. Shame on me. Anywho, any top tips as to how to make it shiny again? Do I use window cleaner cos it's glass?

Scrub with one of those green scrubby things you use for pots to remove all the soap scum.. then buff with a soft (microfibre?) cloth and vinegar..

Thanks Pigpen. I am clearly somewhat of a novice in this field, but willing to learn! I wonder whether oneday my slothenly ways will be defeated.
