Afternoon all!

Well house is sort of tidyish. I on the other hand am bathed and coiffured ready for my night out:D Just got to polyfilla the cracks in my face, top up with some warpaint and I'm ready:rotfl: :rotfl:

I've got a lovely beef stew in the SC (snap mioliere:T ) It is beginning to smell nice, but the veggies are still hard. Suppose it'd have more chance of cooking if I didn't keep checking it:o

Happy birthday little miss shez:bdaycake:

Welcome to the Eskimo's Donger, Lambanana, and fizzel81 hope you'll all be happy here.

csarina ((((hugs)))) to you. It's so frustrating when that happens, and two days running ........:mad:

Pink that's one attractive husband you have, and not just because he's got an iron in his hand:rotfl:

Rchddap so pleased to hear Lily is making good progress. She's just a week older than my DGS2. Bet she looks a lot different to your avatar now:D

SSB and Penny-Pincher hope you both get better soon.

Well best get off, the "final touches" take longer the older I get;)

Phoned the mobile company and waiting for a reply.

The quick and simple pasta turned into shepherd's pie!

But everyone seemed to enjoy it and cleaned their plates - DH scraped his lol!

Will pop back later.


Welcome to all the new faces here.

Hi1 to everyone and new posters. Well trip to sainsburys today was uneventful except that (drum roll!!)...I bought stardrops:T :T :T
I know it may not sound like much to mere mortals but to all those OS this is vital shopping. Am getting to the end of the cupboard full of useless cleaning products so am ready to graduate to stardrops. Pushed the boat out and bought zoflora too...my cleaning education continues:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:
lo fell asleep in car and is now snoring on sofa (just like her dad!!!) so have just enough time to catch up on thread and put shopping away before she wakes up wanting to make fairy cakes like I promised in return for good behaviour in the sainsburys queue

DH out tonight so I even have the remote control to myself-no football/golf/cricket:D

hope everyone is having a better day than yesterday and glad to hear good news for people too

microfibre cloths have little "nodules" on them that scrub at stains and marks so you do not have to.
They have a "rough" side if you know what I mean and can even be used with water and no cleaning agent.

Hope this helps.

Don't forget that white malt vinegar solution is great for cleaning windows, mirrors and showers - it is great for limescale.

thanks elona I see I have much to learn:rotfl:

I think of it as "cheating!" If using a microfibre cloth, stardrops or a vinegar solution means I spend less time, money and effort for a better result.

It is more eco - friendly as well.
