    Well I looked at the state of my oven this morning and groaned........

    then I rooted under the sink to find the oven cleaner I bought (gulp - last year sometime!)

    I have read the instructions and painted it onto my oven - i had to remove some carbonised food first:o:o.

    It says to leave from 3 minutes to 3 hours - I am thinking 3 days will be more appropriate!

    DS and DD2 decluttered to various educational establishments. DD2 went to see Sarah Millican last night and had a fab time. I got to watch the BAFTAs in peace - that's what I call a win win situation.....

    Breakfast stuff washed up. It's sunny outside so i may put some washing out and some in the dri-buddi in the garage......

    Off to put a towels wash on....

    Have done the crossed out bits below, put a load of washing on, emptied recycling bin, descaled kettle and given the sink a good clean using the vinegar from the kettle and a good scrub with some washing up liquid too.
