Moggins -

I'm hoping someone here has the answer.

How do I clean a very dirty watermarked shower screen ? I've tried stardrops, I've tried vinegar, but nothing seems to shift it. I'm almost wondering if it's white paint rather than watermarks, but emulsion normally cleans up pretty well.

Guess who forgot to do the microwave until 5 minutes ago. Did do a darn good sort of the freezer, emptied it out and listed the lot instead of guessing.

Wednesdays lists up now. Welcome home Moggins nice to have you back with us.

Shirley- I used a plastic scourer if my old one was bad. If it's emulsion should scratch off with that but not scratch the glass, all depends what it's made of.

I am completly blown away by you awesome flyladies, just found this thread after being an MSE'r for a while.

It has always been a mystery to me how working women with children manage to keep their houses clean, I have NEVER seemed to manage it.

I love the lists, they include everything that i always forget, so then things get so out of control it is a massive task to get them clean again.

Now it all makes perfect sense, I love lists, I love a plan and I soo want a house that I am not ashamed of.

I am off this week so trying to catch up a bit in between taking my not so littlies out a couple of times, so I AM going to start next week.

I am going to fly next week, I am going to fly next week, I am going to fly next week.:T :T

Thanks for the inspiration guys, I will try to find time to post how I am getting on.

First task, buy new printer cartridges so I can print the lists.

lil_me

Harriet, welcome. Hope you enjoy the motivation and support shared on this thread.

PS I'm felling soppy and just wanted to tell you all I think you are all fantastic, the comments of encouragement and support mean so much to people. Thank you.
