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) 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.0 -
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
