    Well then the best thing you can use for the door, that will be easiest and cheapest, is to get one of those glass scrapers that are like a razor blade but with a handle if that makes sense? You might be able to pick one up from your local supermarket or failing that a DIY shop. They're only £2 or £3 pounds. Normally used for get paint off of galss.

    Bought myself one of these off ebay (£1.50 inc 1st class postage :D) as well as buying myself a swiffer/swisher/whatever you call it for the laminate. Cbb with damp mops all year for the sake of £6...

    Thanks sharonr too for the recommendation.

    Morning All

    I don't know what to wear - I'm going to be in class this morning and then going straight for my interview after dinner. I'm thinking of wearing a dress - I normally always wear trousers for work because of sitting on the carpet and stuff but I've got quite a bit of assessment stuff to do this morning so hopefully I shouldn't have to do that. I'll have to see! I should be out by 1.30 then I've got the rest of the afternoon off so I might come home for and hour before I pick the kids up or I might go off somewhere. I've then got SW and I should get a phone call around 5ish.

    Happy Birthday to pigger's OH.

    I suppose I ought to get out of bed and sort myself out.

    Have a good day all

    Hugs

    Morning all, Rhys decided to stay up until after 12, i really don't know what to do with him.......:(

    Need to go for a bath and then make the picnic. Then get kids up and sorted.

    juilejim good luck for today.

    Pigpen Happy Birthday to your OH.
    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.
