    Question. I have 'heavy duty' cushion covers - the sort that almost certainly say 'dry clean only' (assuming I could find a label). I'm really not tooooooooo bothered about them living forever - certainly not enough to pay for dry cleaning - but do you think it's worth the risk of bunging them in the WM? If so do you reckon I can risk 40 degrees or will I have to stick to 30 degrees? Any advice or suggestions appreciated.

    I'd start with the coldest wash your machine will do and if possible a wool cycle. I washed some wool like ones last year with bits of felt stitched all over them as they were filthy and I was going to bin them - came out fine but need washing again so I'll do that this week.

    Best get moving...
    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.

    Well my first task is to find out a purple tart to burn

    Right who's up for the first HHC of the day at 9.15?

    I knew about your prowess in the garden ;) but didn;t know that you burn pies, too :p

    Just back from my run, so I'll catch you on the HHC, before I go out to collect soem silicone moulds from Freecycle :j

    Dailies done and Kitchen and Bathroom S&Sed. Have a friend coming for coffee this morning then off to my voluntary job. The new cafe has its official opening by a famous cricketer today. Im in my greeting roll when the big wigs etc arrive.

    Have got my purple socks on and a candle lit for Diva.

    Hugs and soons for those that need them.
