    I have read much about these hallowed stardrops - where can I buy them though? Never seen them before!!

    about to do the school run now, so will think about that on return! (the jobs for the rest of the day that is!!)

    Wilkinson's or Savers

    I think Morrison's sometimes has it, as does Sainsbury's

  • Stardrops look like this. I get them in Tesco. Tesco value microfibre cloths are brill, too.

  • well today,
    1) must make the veggie soup before everything needs binning
    2) must make a start on packing for the weekend away
    3) [STRIKE]must deal with sickie and wet baby clothes.[/STRIKE] 2 loads of his clothes, one of mine. Should do one for DH really, although i did some of his bits earlier in the week. Will have to see what room there is on the airers when i hang that lot up.
    4) pack away some of my maternity clothes, find out some real clothes so i can then walk around without my trousers falling down.
    5) make something tasty for tea when we haven't got a lot in. decided this can be the veggie soup with HM bread - about to do both - honest ;)
    6) assemble travel cot to check all bits are there and then repack
    7) bath baby at some point when he isn't screaming at me.
    8) have a soak myself for my luxury of the day.
    9) make that elusive loaf that i keep threatening to so that there is bread for my lunch and DH's pack up for tomorrow.
    10) [STRIKE]deal with post[/STRIKE]

    have had some fun already today. Got up through the night to get a glass of water, and found the cat had been sick on the kitchen floor, which i discovered as i stood in it. :mad: so i cleaned that up at 4:30. It's the same cat that was being ill last month, so god knows what is causing it. Hope it was a fluke as they are in the cattery over the weekend while we are away.

    have also dealt with 2 bits of admin from the coffee table pile, done pigsback clicks, checked email, checked internet banking, scanned some shopping from last week now my shop n' scan scanner is working. Also changed multiple nappies, redressed the baby after more sick, and played with him for a couple of hours. I also finished reading my book when i was feeding him. Read a whole book that way this week.

    welcome to shell. Just jump right in. Whatever you do will make you feel better.

    having to have a little chuckle at the coke stained undies. I would second the oxi in the wash suggestion from TNG. Or that glo-white stuff.

    Just had a phone call from my school - the head teacher wants to come out to see me and the baby next Tuesday - thankfully that leaves me some time to fly before he comes out. :eek: He has been once before when i was poorly, but the house was spotless then as i did a panic clean. Oh well. Whatever it looks like is what he will get.

    TNG - as ever you make me :rotfl:

    DS wants to play on the Cbeebies site so I'm gonna be offline for a bit or he may post in my place :rolleyes: .

    I'll lose myself in my futile utility while he's playing with the likes of Postman Pat and Lunar Jim ...

  • Well I'll hunt for it nonetheless as it sounds like a great product!

    Just ticked off something, that wasn't on my list but should have been - put the veg peelings on the compost heap - and also found my back door to be unlocked :eek: can't remember the last time I went out there - so that was a frightening thing to discover :eek:
