Is this any help? http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B002J9N05W/ref=oss_product
I bought 6 at a time last time I ordered, as they work out cheaper (ie not so much P&P to pay as reordering frequently), and they don't eat anything in the store cupboard.:D They're great for the more intricate dragons, too.:o
Hope your OH is in a better frame of mind today - fwiw it sounds like he'd had a bad day and was just spoilin' for an argument, so best to just let it all wash over you.:o

Valli I love the little poem - and I want to see pics of the Wishing Well, please!;)

Winchelsea I dread it when there's someone at the door and I'm not expecting anyone. Glad it was someone nice coming to see you!:)

Sexymouse how's your poor back today? And is the garage now compliant with H&S regulations?:D:o

Afternoon all,

I'd just finished putting the washing out when my rotary line fell over.:eek: I had to try and take the clothes off with one hand while holding the line up with the other hand.:cool: Then i had to put the airer in the garden instead. Now it looks like it's going to rain any minute so i expect i'm going to have to rescue it soon.

Since my last post i have

Made beds
Collected laundry
Wm x 1
Dealt with todays post
Put washing on line
Took washing straight back off line :cool:
Put washing on airer
Cleared drainer
S & S Kitchen
Sorted recycling
Made & eaten lunch

Valli

washing rescued...escaped kitten caught...

I use a paintbrush for dusting fiddly ornaments too.

Valli, love the poem, I'm with Lamewolf, we need pics.

Just done several HHC and laundry reduced to more manageable levels. Bathroom sorted (bin bag fling) and S&S, needs good scrub but is serviceable. Things getting tidier, dot to dotting today it seems. Lunch now I think.

Afternoon all, posting first and catching up after so I hope everyone's OK.

I've done all the bedrooms today, two loads of washing out on the line and drying well.

I also moved all the furniture out from the sides in the living room and gave it a good vacuuming after polishing all round downstairs (living room and computer desk/hallway).

Just rescued a butterfly that must have flown in the living room window. I could hear a funny noise and it was the wings flapping on the window, luckily it went out easily when I opened the window wider.

OK, time to start cooking. I'll try to catch up in between.

As do I; but some of them are just too intricate for even a paint brush.:o

I forgot to say earlier i think the poem is great Valli.

Craft shops do it cheaper..

Or.. get a narrow straw.. and blow!!

Or tip keyboard to one side.. bash a few times to dislodge crumbs and tip upside down to rid it of most of them... and vacuum!

But, whatever method you use, put a dust mask on or something round your nose and mouth while you're doing the work. ESPECIALLY if you have allergies. Any keyboard is an breeding ground for grot and germs:eek::eek:

Sorry, I haven't put anyone off lunch, have I:D
