    DD1 has smashed a bottle of coral nail varnish all over the bathroom floor. It's come off the limestone tiles with nail varnish remover but how do I get it off the grouting?

    Answers gratefully received.

    Cazmanian is junior dog young enough that he might get used to the hoover? if you keep going with all your cleaning he might not like it but come to accept it?

    Sadly not, he's 7. He's a rescue dog, used to be a working gundog but snapped his cruciate ligament and had never lived in a house before he came into rescue. He adapted brilliantly (he thinks sofas are the best invention ever, with duvets a very close second :D), but for some reason loud indoor noises (hoover, drill, food processor etc.) turn him into a shaking heap on the sofa :( Once the noise stops he's fine again within a couple of minutes.

    I'm definitely keeping up with this cleaning lark, OH has produced a toffee cake to say thank you for today's efforts :j:j:j I've got a dentist appointment tomorrow so probably won't get much done - it's only a 20 minute appointment to get my braces checked, but I have to drive 105 miles each way, mostly on single track roads, to get to it!

    !

    My rescue is the same. He's got used to the hoover, but drills and food processors are a no-no. Don't ask about fireworks.

    I hope you don't mind me jumping in here, I've been following and doing some flying since yesterday, really pleased with myself because I've managed level 1 and 2each day plus all the other daily tasks involved with running a home with small children in it. Am trying to get the house sorted before the next baby is born but also have some unpacking to do so doing a little each day. Anyway I will keep going and I hope my home starts to show all my hard work soon! Please!

    Evening all :)
    Sorry I'm joining in late this week but I'm here :) Thank you to pigpen, toots and asbo :)
    Well I have been up since 3 this morning filling job application form out, took DS2 to doc's about his stomach problem and slept most of the afternoon then!
    Going to just catch up with washing and brief tidy up then hoping to start properly tomorrow evening after work :)
    Hugs and love to all who need or just want them :)
