So much for stockpiling!! My mum has just come round and 'borrowed' a 4 pack of kitchen rolls, bottle of bleach and some loo rolls!! It's not a wee shop I'm running!!! :mad::mad: Will have to move my stash out of the utility room and find somewhere else!!! The reason she was actually round was for me to tumble dry her bedclothes!! :eek: I think not, out on the line they've gone.

could be worse mine is selling her house to move in with me :eek: so she has her house money to spend.

Sequeena - so sorry (((hugs))) x x x x

Aww Sequenna - so sorry.

I have been for a swim today and then to church. Trying to rescue the house as dd had a sleep over in the sitting room. I had a letter on sat to say I had won a 24 hour hire of a rug doctor machine. I have a pale crea, carpet in the sitting room which is about 5 years old. I do have a vax, but the carpet is still looking marked after shampooing. Will the rug doctor machine be more effective?

Sequeena ((((hugs)))). I too know what you're going through. Be kind to yourself. x

Oh Sequeena I'm so sorry to hear that. I had one before my two ds came along and it's devastating. Sending more gentle hugs.

Have bought a clothes washing liquid called green leaf. 5 litres from the health food shop is £15. It requires 40ml per full load. That's 125 washes, at 12p each. It is mildly scented and seems to be working so far !

Sequeena

Thank you so much everyone

Sequeena, look after yourself hunny, and do things when they suit you, instead of well meaning people telling you what to do! Hugs Ginny

Ds just rang, he is out shopping with his girlfriend. I find it quite funny he still rings me for advice:T He went for work clothes and as ever found the bargains, he won't pay a lot for his stuff but searches out quality at low price. Even when he wants a football shirt he waits and waits till they cost peanuts.

Had to drag a very RV along the road to pick more rasps, they are huge and ready. Need him to hold me up cos it's a very steep banking and I can't get up alone..then when I get up I can't get down again. But he did it - and moaned and whined and narked all the way. Then he kept going on about "do you think they're all right to eat?"...are you sure this is all right? God here's a car what will they think? " :rotfl:
Still knackered today but sheer bloody willpower got me along to those rasps JAM MODE WHOOHOO !
