    I can only think of bicarb for getting rid of smells, and it makes a good cleaner, too. Not sure if it could tackle cigarette smoke, though?

    I'd like to join in again this week :) Thanks for the list.

    Juliejim, try cleaning with bicarb then leaving a bowl of salt inside for at least 24 hours?

    Morning lovelies! :wave:

    Quick healing vibes for your poor Mum Dusty x


    Gutted for Andy Murray yesterday he was simply outclassed but he played his little heart out, his time will come.

    Didn't get round to doing the wardrobes yesterday so I've done them this morning, they are going back into littleys room later on, so then I can sort clothes out that are piled everywhere (driving me mad) and the bin bag full of shoes. She's off school today with a raging cold and currently asleep.

    Teenie did the kitcheny stuff this morning, I've never stopped but can't think of a single thing I've done hahahahaha.

    Off to work for 3 hrs shortly then will start sorting stuff this afternoon, have to nip to the bank too to deposit some cash.

    Rowan I'd have those signs up in my shop 'Do NOT Touch the Displays' my pyramid of beans would be a sight to behold hahahahaha

    Laters dudettes, Good Luck with the ironing CY

    Ciao :hello:

    • re-do household budget :o
    • put the rest of the blankets and sheets away
    • finish off the towels in the TD

    Morning all, Dusty thanks for the lists and i hope your mum has a speedy recovery. (((big hugs)))

    Kids didn't go to bed until 1 this morning.. :mad: So i'm gonna go down and drag them out of bed, they have me pulling my hair out.

    Then i'll make a start, my plan today is to do 15 mins in each room until i see an improvement.
    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.
    :j :j
