I don't know but try having a large dog and puppy. :rotfl:

Arghh, I do feel your pain folks about the mud. I have two dogs of my own (and often have another one staying or a foster dog in) and this time of year can be hard work.:(

After many years of faffing around I finally investing in some turtle mats: http://www.turtlemat.co.uk/Classic-door-mats/

They are expensive, but they wash up like new and look amazing. I bought 3 x long fawn coloured mats (75cm x 150cm) and they are end to end along the length of my galley kitchen on laminate.

Before that I had spent a fortune on various cheapy mats that always fell apart after a few washes (especially the backing). My turtle mats look like new after many years of use & washing.

These mats aren't miracle workers, but they do take off some of the dirt which you can then hoover off the mat when it dries.

I am lucky that after walks, I can bring my dogs in through my back garden and into my kitchen. When the mud is really bad (thick clay soil!) I keep a pot or bucket of clean water outside my back door and dunk each dogs paw into the bucket before they come inside. This gets the mud off and just leaves wet paws. I then make the dogs wait on the first turtle mat as soon as they step inside and then I give them a proper dry down with a towel.

I also keep a baby gate across my kitchen door so the dogs can't get access to the living room until they are dried off.

If you are finding your dogs are smelling a bit wiffy due to getting wet daily, you can sprinkle some bicarbonate of soda on your carpets (then hoover) and even through your dog's dry coat. It is a natural deodoriser and perfectly safe.

I also use a natural air freshener (citrus magic: http://www.quickvit.co.uk/toiletries/air-fresheners/citrus-magic-air-fresh-orange-7oz.html) that is non toxic. I don't like using febreeze type stuff.

Found this set in my Metro today RTC to £1.75 which I thought was pretty good, really like the gel pen but they are usually a bit spendy on their own also has 2 other pens, a highlighter, a pencil, rubber and ruler
ETA I've taken 2 of the pens out of it already!

I'll second that, I use them too as I have a marble floor in the kitchen which is a nightmare when its wet. If you get them just remember never put fabric softener in with them when you wash them as it takes away some of the effectiveness of them.I wouldnt be without mine:)

I know most of night shift is now skipped over but I would like my last post ( need a game of fb poker) To be...
Top 5 films.....

Heres mine in no order it all depends on the mood....

*Devils Rejects
*Leon
*Dead poets society
*Almost Famous
*Band of brothers ( not a film but I love it)

Thank you and good night :T

I'm not a great film person, so don't think I could name a top 5 but I love the Shawshank Redemption, and just catching up I see many others have named this in their top five. Such a great film, harrowing at parts but I love this film as it isn't predictable like many hollywood movies.

If anyone can recommend a film on a par with Shawshank Redemption I'd love to hear recommendations.

I also love the Blues Brothers, so funny and one of the few films I could watch again & again and it'll still make me belly laugh. Love the music in it too! :j

I also have to say the Monty Python films, Holy Grail, Life of Brian and The Meaning of Life. :rotfl:

Edit: Also I just remembered One Flew over the Cuckoo's nest. Loved that too.
