Hugs LW xx
How did you do LifeinTurmoil - I'm glad you posted you were joining in as it made me do it!
I've got the following left to do...
Tuesday ~ Kitchen and Dining area
Wipe table and replace cloth if needed
Clear and wipe window sills
Dust, deweb and make homeless those spiders!
Clean light fittings
Just going to take a break whilst the hall and kitchen floor dry....I forgot to bring the cloths through to the dining room.
Oh yes, also had to deal with a phone call from DS's school....he feel and hurt his shoulder. Then he went to the classroom and banged his head. Does anyone think my LO is accident prone. Anyway, they don't want to send him home but they wanted me to be aware of the situation. I missed four calls from them as I was cleaning the kitchen with my ipod on. Must turn the volume down in future.
Going to try and remember a few more contacts whilst the floors are drying.
Speak soon xx0 -

invisiblecabbage wrote: »even feather ones?
I noticed the cover on feather pillows was a sort of tea stained brown (from not washing pillowcases often enough i presume). Any suggestions how i can clean them up if wm not an option please?
Hi.
The one I washed was a feather one. Washed it at 60. Seems ok....drying now. Other labels of my mix match assortment of pillows range from machine wash to handwash and assorted temps. There is a thread on here all about it!Hi, we’ve had to remove your signature. If you’re not sure why please read the forum rules or email the forum team if you’re still unsure - MSE ForumTeam0 -
