PinotGrigio41

Just dropping by this snowy evening, to say hello to my sadly neglected diary ! Slapped wrists for Mrs Pinot I think !

I will aim to be back tomorrow with full on rambling post, and also to catch up with all of your diaries, but in the meantime just want to say hello and thank you all for keeping my diary nicely busy in my absence :rotfl:

Welcome ebay queen, lovely to see you !! The more the merrier is my moto this morning . Thankyou for your words of encouragement. You are quite right I WILL get there !! One day !!

F1, hello to you, and yes I have been a bit AWOL. Sorry ! Not really sure why, I'm ok thank you, just needed to take a couple of days out as I had been neglecting a few other bits in the Pinot World that needed dealing with, but I am back now !! Well ish.......we have another crisis in that DD2 decided to make popcorn last night, but failed to read the instructions and blew up the microwave and smoked out the entire house !! Currently still trying to get rid of the smell, its pretty damn cold in here..... with the windows and doors wide open, but it won't go away !! any top tips on getting rid of burnt popcorn and smoking microwave odours much appreciated please !! So I will be back in a bit ! Hope you are ok F1, I will be catching up on your diary later I hope if I can find a few mins to myself xx

Oh and look at my signature, I updated it again yesterday !:D

my top tip for blown up microwave: unplug, give the stupid thing a good telling off and throw it out the back door. (well that's what i did with mine ) seriously though have you got any smelly candles or incense that may help? lol kids eh!

Signature is looking good I wondered where you had gone! Glad to see you were just busy with life

Morning Pinot

Yay signature update and in the right direction!

I put into google - tips on how to get rid of popcorn smell - there are loads of threads! Coffee seems to come out well from it.

Good luck.

Thankyou both of you ! Microwave is duly sitting looking rather sorry for itself in the snow outside but the smell still lingers on !! I have been lighting candles, burners and spraying air freshener since last night but it won't shift ! She really did a good job with this one I can tell you ! HH I will get googling, do I drink the coffee or am I supposed to brew ( its not called brewing is it when its coffee ?) posh coffee to get rid of the smell. There is no longer posh coffee in the Pinot Residence , only Asda Gold !!

DFW, I keep meaning to say to you I am sooo glad hubby is home. I will post some rambles on your diary later !

Am now rushing off to google burnt popcorn !

I really like Asda gold

I would recommend onions cut in half, they are ideal for removing paint fumes, so I would give it a go.

Glad your hubby home

I like Asda Gold as well, I'm not really a posh coffee sort of girl !

I will give the onions a try, need to nip out and buy some though ! Who would have thought popcorn could cause so much chaos !

Just had a call from DD2s school advising me that her Athletics Tournament had been cancelled this evening due to the weather ! What athletics tournament ? What a bad mummy, I had completely forgotten all about it . Oops !!!

Hi Pinot, congrats on the signature update I know it might sound obvious, but have you tried washing the walls and cupboards? This might get rid of any smoke residue. Bicarb works well for fridge smells, so that might help maybe?
