LameWolf

Hi all.

Blokey has been and serviced the boiler, so that's out of the way for another year.:T

All kitchen surfaces have been Dettoxed to within an inch of their lives, including under the micro, as Mr LW had to move it for blokey to access the boiler.;)

I've done the hob thoroughly, but the main oven has barely been used, so doesn't need doing; and we don't have an extractor.

The hoover's also been done - Mr LW takes it apart and gives it a good clean every Saturday, after he's hoovered the bungalow.:A

Mr LW is, of course, wfh today - off into town this afternoon, when he finishes, to bank the cheque for £100 I won on one of the survey sites I visit.:T That money is going straight in the New Hearing Aid Fund!:D

Helensdatter ouchy - poor DH. I hope it's not too awful an injury, and that he heals quickly.

Dusty in view of the news re Ed, I'm putting him onto my list of long-term people to do healing vibes for. Gosh, 2 years, possibly - his poor family!:(

I always thought that the point of an aga was no cleaning... if you leave the shelves in there, the dirt will burn off

Having had our AGA for 11 years that is not actually true:p More burns off than in a regular cooker and there are not sides etc to clean but the shelves and inside the door/door rim benefit from an annual clean IMHO.

Lamewolf - well done for doing so much

DS3 not enjoying school so tried to not go back after physio, but he is back. Lunch for me and then a cuppa and a bit more in the kitchen.

I don't think my mother has ever cleaned hers although she cleans the outside and the rings after she uses them. The shelves probably haven't been cleaned since it was installed in 1930...

Do you have any pest control you may need for when the bugs awaken?Need to order some rat poison and persuade DH to take me to find some cats to rehome. Still waiting for the porch doors to be replaced though.

Easy Peasy Homemade Polish

This was on superscrimpers, so im sure most people will have seen it, but thought it was worth a mention as my wooden furniture came up sparkling - I will NEVER use bought polish again.

3 tablespoons of oil, i just used cooking (make sure its not been cooked with)
1 tablespoon of lemon
Loads of essential oil, i used lemon

Mix together, put your cloth in and polish. I used a cheapie yellow duster, and its still got loads of polish on it, so have not had to make any more polish, just use the duster. The only thing i would say is it took a while to sink into my dining table & chairs, so i would do maybe before bed. My coffee table is still shiny like i have never seen before and that is from last wednesday.

I've decluttered a tooth - was that on the list? Just sitting in bed now - kids are at my mum's and she's dropping them back off at 6 so I've got a couple of hours to relax.

mrs-moneypenny

glad you finally got sorted Julie, hope its not too painful.

savedosh, thank you for the polish recipie i will definately try making that.

Dustykitten

JulieJim hugs and hope it's not too sore.

All done bar finishing the AGA shelves which I'll do in a minute. Now to think of what to inflict upon you all tomorrow.
