    Congratulations Quillion!

    Question for all you experienced flyers:- How can I remove black mouldy bits from inbetween tiles, & on the seal stuff in the bathroom without damaging it & what product(s) are best to use? TIA!


    dunno if this has been answered - I use neat, thick bleach on a toothbrush on the tile grout - and shall be trying the same on the silicone seal...

    ;)


    I do that! as in 'you'd better eat that it cost ten bob...'

    chocolate's ever so expensive in shillings;)

    I have already made an impact on the dining room (work clutter) and also have another new pair of curtains (these are for DS's room and a 'thing' to go across the foot of my bed (like a sort of throw just across the foot of the bed if that makes sense) and STILL some more curtain. It was worth paying an expert seamstress to do the sewing - I would have hyperventilated hacking the curtains down. And I still have some fabric left - I might end up with cushions on my bed, too! (My sister gave me, last year, a huge pair of very expensive John Lewis lined curtains which weighed a ton - eventually I got them to my sewing lady - I have had two pairs of curtains from them, for my two biggest bedroom windows.)
    Might go and hang DS's new curtains...(right now, a tiny frog - if left it will grow and grow...)

    DD's in the smoke on a theatre trip - which reminds me - not seen Dippypud lately

    ETA Poohboear - thought mot corsa was Italian or something at first :rotfl:

    congratulations Jenny Jewell:T:T:T:T
