I can't remember when the fire was last dusted - never use it

Saw this and thought of you - cheapy vax wash stuff in H&B.

I have used generic stuff in mine before but not tried this one yet.

:hello:Hi to all my flylady friends!

Thank you for your concern - I felt a lot better after doing some digging, and the back recovered after a hot shower and some stretching. I managed to do another couple of hours this morning, and I've booked DS2 for a couple of hours tomorrow, which should be put me well ahead on the allotment. It must be nearly time for the annual inspection, and I don't want a negative letter. Mind you, the plot immediately next to mine has hardly been touched so it's making mine look good!

This afternoon, DS1 and 2 cut down the huge laurel branches that were encroaching from next door (yes, I had asked first!) - I have sunshine again late afternoon! A huge amount of clearing up now - we've sawn/cut up loads, but still about another car load to do.

Another two day week for me - I like Bank Holiday Mondays, I think we should have one every week! I'll have to do some planning tomorrow though.

greenbee - ooh, interesting! I've not been to any of those places.

sexymouse - you're bound to feel a bit flat, but I expect a new project will pop up, and life will get exciting again!

froddington - pleased to hear better news.

:hello:hex and dusty!!



Love and hugs, especially for toots, lady-liberty, and lamewolf

Now the sun is shining I realise I am the queen of smear when it comes to windows. I have tried water with a hint of vinegar, windolene, widow wipes. I would love to make a better job of them when I start Mondays list. Any suggestions really welcome. Thanks

water, washing up liquid and a squeegee...
