    GI what puts me off is we have enough condensation in the house already, I certainly don't want to add more moisture.

    Theoretically, I have easy Flying today; Thursday id bedroom day in the Wolf's Lair; and I actually did some of it Tuesday,:T as Mr LW was on the phone, so I wanted to be in another room. I know it sounds silly, but such is my telephone phobia that I don't like being in the room even if someone else is using the phone!:eek:

    It's coming over a tad cloudy, so I think I might get Dylan taken for a trundle up the road next, before it rains.;)

    Laters, folks.:o

    I spent most of the morning on my Frog forms. Friend came around to check I was doing them.

    DS1 Christmas present arrived.

    Took my Dad to his eye Photo and then had a cuppa with my parents.

    Just having lunch then I'm getting back to my forms. Friend is coming back later to check I'm not slacking.

    WM is on again

    Changed my bedding this morning, made a big cooked brekkie for kids then been out visiting. DD fell asleep on way home, so let her sleep in car and hovered between dining room and hallway so I could see the car. She's up now and sat watching tv wearing pants! Fingers crossed!

    She seems to be on the road to recovery I'm this infection, so I think we will risk playgroup tomorrow.

    No idea what I'm doing, this week is all a bit fuzzy. But my mil did some washing and ironing for me whilst I was at work (she has looked after DD 2 days for me). I'll put my bedding on to wash in a bit...

  • are there any fail-safe ways of getting mould and mildew off without too much elbow grease/ expense? fly-baby is making my bump HUGE :eek::eek::eek::eek:, so I know my balance is a bit off standing on a chair and if I start thrashing about too vigorously I don't want to do myself a mischief

    See you all again at a more sensible hour :)

    Hi skint breeder 5. I bet you're as shattered as I am after being up until silly o'clock last night.

    I clean for a living and I find bleach in a spray bottle is the best thing to use and leave it for about 5 minutes. The house I've been cleaning today provide me with Dettol Mould & Mildew Remover (it's in a green bottle) and it is marvellous in their bathroom. They have a sunken bath with literally 1000's of tiny mosaic tiles around it which seem to hang onto soap and shampoo scum - you know that telltale pink tinge you get on tiles/shower curtains? - well this stuff does the job no problem with the help of an old, soft toothbrush and next to no elbow grease. Just spray, go and have a cuppa, comeback and wipe away.

    HTH

    TMD xx No doubt I've done my usual trick of answering a post and not reading posts following on from the original question :rotfl:
    Decluttering junk and debt in 2016
    Debts - Vanquis £3500 1/1/16; DFD - when I'm dead with £100,000,000+ interest :eek: UPDATED Feb 2016 £2739.80; DFD June 2016 :j
    Next - £1500 1/1/16 DFD about 10 years time. UPDATED Feb 2016 £1371.16; DFD July 2016 :j
    THE GOAL IS TO HAVE NO DEBT BY THE END OF 2016
