I had this with my DS2 aswell. We found Matalan quite good and Top Man for doing smaller stuff

My son is in that 'inbetween' stage as well. No longer a boy, but not quite a man Next do XS. Apart from Matalan, it seems to be the more expensive places that fit At least his feet are size 8-8 1/2, which means i can just go straight to the mens dept. Size 6 was a nightmare!

I have been to Go Outdoors, and bought some shorts for my hollibobs, and some waterproof trousers for any littleone's that are here (& some for me) so we can do outdoor play whatever the weather, without relying on parents to bring suitable clothes! Just need to make sure I have a stock of wellies as well (going to check out the CS for those ). We took Little Miss Sunshine and she had a great time playing in the tents and trying out bikes and horse riding hats Cheap day out

I need to empty the TD, and put on more washing. DH has done my HHI :T I have also phoned a double glazing firm about a quote for a new door :eek: The lock keeps playing up. It has been fixed once already (costing £120), but it is still not good. It went on Friday evening, while we were 300 miles away and DD1 was in charge :eek: Lets just say, she likes to make a drama out of things DS fixed it, with help from DH on the phone. It comes to something when you have to rely on the 13yo to be the grown up!! I wonder how much this is all going to cost

JJ - with regards to your fridge, you could make a neutralising spray, which is basically bicarb and an acid, so you could use vinegar or lemon, put in spray bottle, shake to bits to dissolve and use. Not done what i said i would as i sidetracked

Dustykitten

GI DS2 is still a size 6 - nightmare. DS1 size 7 very wide, just as much of a nightmare and he is 18.

Shower room all clean.

DS3 home from school so off to Mum's in a minute.

Never thought of either of them Dusty thanks your a star:A:A. I have to got to Sephre and Turret (SP) as he wants Voi v-neck jumpers again this year at 20 quid a pop:eek: to be fair they wash great and the ones he's out grown are as good as the day I bought them.

Level Three
Clean all up high spaces

I had a good go at the tops of the cupboards, but all bar one have got that cooked-on grease on them and it's proving really hard to shift completely, though I think I've got the worst off. Anyone got any ideas how to get rid of it? The tops of the cupboards are a kind of plastic-covered chipboard, I think. I've tried a few times with really hot water and strong sugar-soap solution, but there's still some stickiness left..
