Tea Tree Oil. I believe it keeps the mould at bay. Can't remember if you have to dilute it or not.
Other problem being that you have to do something about the source of the damp as well. (roll eyes smiley here.)

Paid a bill.. one more payment and it will be one FOREVER!!!!!!! WOOHOO!! .. then I can start on the next monster bill..
£180 decluttered on christmas presents.. Jacob done (and his birthday) and the 3 small pinks a few more bits so they just need stocking filler type stuff and some books. A few science type stuff for the boys. I am unsure whether to get Tabitha and Jacob the carry keyboard things from ELC.. they are on 2 for £20 offer at the moment.. would my sister and son hate me? lol (do I care???) Though I fear it might be a bit like opening myself to retribution as I have Freja..

Phew got on with it and kitchen looking good. Since last post I have got myself and kidlets dressed, laughed at DS2 trying to suck his fist but repeatedly punching himself in the face, done bottles and dishes, cleared and wiped all the surfaces, sorted two letters to take to DS1's preschool tomorrow, cleaned the oven and nearly choked to death on the oven cleaner (nasty toxic stuff), wiped down all the cupboard doors, loaded the wm, wiped out both fridges and chucked a manky marrow that had been in there for literally months (think I bought it before I had the baby and he'll be three months on Friday :eek:) and swept the kitchen floor. And got a thousand snacks for DS1 who seems to have hollow legs this morning. He must be hungry after his stomach upset, which is better today so hopefully he can go to school tomorrow and I don't have to take him with me to get DS2's jabs. Going to spend 20 mins up stairs putting away some laundry and just picking up some clutter off the floor, then feed bub and have some lunch, and then make DS1 help me pick the toys up from the conservatory.
Back soon!So, there are these boys,
They kinda stole my heart,
They call me Mummy
