    Nope I do not have bathroom curtains either hun.. and I am in a bungalow. Mind you bathroom looks out to my back lawn which is about 5m wide then towering leylandii hedge so its pretty safe. :D Anyway if anyone see's anything they shouldn't its not my fault.:rotfl:

    Anyway HHC actually went well...

    Washing up done, dried, put away
    Washing machine filled and on and remembered to squirt vanish that top thats been round three times now :rotfl:
    All kitchen cupboards top and sides and fronts shiny.
    Litter tray emptied and refilled
    Birdies given some mushy apples and bread
    Bath and basin and windowsill cleaned
    Toilet soaking in bleach.
    15+ scarves moved from rad onto bed.. need to find them a home as they keeping heat in rad and not hallway
    Toothbrush on charge
    Trainers relocated to bed (must go in wardrobe when I declutter the floor)
    Bins emptied
    Fire re-lit but not doing much :o
    Coffee made :D

    Progress!!

    Advice required.. How do you wash your shower curtains?

    Mine is black so obv will go in on its own or with black bath mat, but has no washing label.. 30C? Normal washing powder etc?

    I am ashamed to admit it but I think mine might be breeding its own life forms :rotfl:

    Ok coffee then a bit more I think..

    BD has taken over. After a great start to 2011 - great holiday and 2 productive flying days, I have crashed. Can't face mopping floors - I hate that job. Utility area (otherwise called covered passage between house and garage) has flooded due to blocked gutters. Dog is shedding same amount of hair when he was a proper collie - he just looks ridiculous at the moment. Grrrrrr
