Preparedness for when

siegemode

Hi, what a week, I have had quite a stressful one. I managed to cut the lawns they're only small but the grass and weeds were almost a foot hi in parts :eek: Thank god it's only a small garden. Also weeded the patios and completely knocked myself out for a couple of days over a couple of hours work.

Have now caught up and added Astonish bathroom cleaner to my online order but would like to know which one everyone is using for cookers. My hob is ceramic and easy to clean, but the over and the glass door are desperate. I spent 5 hours spaying, soaking and scrubbing the glass from the door and managed a small window. There's 22 products on Ocado, which do I need please ?:)

yes just googled astonish... home and bargains , poundland B&Ms to name but a few

My local Home Bargains is cheapest, £0.85 or £0.89, I forget which, but it's about £1 in Wilkinsons and B&M, and definitely £1 in Poundland! Ocado have it at £1.49, it's the 500g tub of oven cookware paste, first on the list.

Re lawnmowers, I use a little Qualcast Panther cylinder hand mower to cut the front bit of grass where the cars are parked as it doesn't hurl bits of gravel up at them like the Hayter does. Cutting the whole back garden with it is possible and indeed has been done, but with only a 12 inch cut it does take a lot longer. It's the size that makes it a slower job, as much as the fact that it isn't powered. I'd hate to be without it. Best on grass that's not TOOO long as it tangles up round the cutting blades.

Of all the grazing animals, guinea pigs do a jolly good job of lawnmowing (and they don't need sharpening) but in a truly MSE world we'd be rearing them for food, and I'm not quite there yet!

It's the one on the leftermost of the second row down - blue tub; Astonish Oven and Cookware Cleaner (the writing underneath says paste, which it is, but you can see the tub says Cleaner. I got mine for £1 from a Wilko as my Poondland didn't have any. We don't have Home Bargins here at all (sob).

Just reading the destructions and it says you can clean patio furniture with it. Does Lily the Pink know we've found the wonder product...........?

As not working today turned alarm off and went back to sleep so that was a mere 10 hours in the Land of Nod, so not tired then. Setting out to be a scorcher so best to do lottie this morning and run around town for some bits this afternoon.

Laters, my lovelies, laters. GQ xx

Ooh, ooh, we are experiencing widespread loss of water. No warning, it's just..... gone.

GQ - I am reliving your scenario :eek:

OH is saying "I need a glass of water"

So I calmly tell him there are bottles of the stuff under the stairs

No-ones to flush a loo unless they have to!

Not long got in home safe and sound after a few huccups along the way *why am I not surprised*
Thanks so much for all the well wishes he's doing great but his surgeon now needs a lay down :rotfl:

Off to rest my weary head in my own bed XXX

Welcome home D&DD have been thinking of you and so glad to hear things went well. Nothing better than your own bed is there?

:T The rewards of having a preptastic wife!

Hope the water is back on again this morning. At least you're ready and have your supplies in.

I'm up with the lark. Well, it sounds better than being hounded out of bed by bliddy seagulls making that ak-akk-AKKK!! noise outside incessantly.

Dunno what it is with these birrds. Provincial City isn't anywhere near the coast but every few months the city centre becomes seagull central. Noisy beggars.

DD&D, glad you're all back in one piece. Speedy healing vibes sent across the t'interweb. Dying to know why the surgeon needs a lie-down, do tell.

Today's cunning plans involve a bit of gardening, which I suppose is preptastic and a saunter into Liddly and some CS.

I have tea. And seagulls. There are just about edible, aren't they? Or should I stick with the omelette........? Hmmm, decisions, decisions......

Brilliant news D3! We're all worn oot with sending you vibes
I'm up and eating my porridge, brought by one's butler. The sun is shining, the sheep are bawling their heads off (probly in shock at the yellow thing) and I'm going to hit the garden later.
