    This may be a stupid question, but how do you clean an ostrich feather duster?
    By putting your head in the sand and pretending the dirt doesn't exist?:D

    Why would it need cleaning? Surely you only rub it on your face and feet and feel it every time you walk past it?

    You can see he's thought about it, though.....

    A little baby shampoo apparently if shaking the dust outside doesn't do the job.

    You lot are so funny!

    Sounds like too many babychams to me!

    I have gone through my saved documents on the computer and deleted those I don't need. Also arranged the rest into folders properly so I can find stuff easily.

    Windows are open letting sunshine and fresh air in. There must be some of you sitting at home with windows tightly shut - I know I used to keep them shut as part of keeping the world out.

    Am having counselling at the moment - not specifically hoarding related. It has been helping but we are beginning to hit a more challenging patch. House is generally ok to have anyone in without notice though.

    my windows are shut... I hate the thought of bugs coming in.

    I think the back door is open though so we do have air.

    Did a course all about bumblebees today. My teeny little postage stamp [strike]weed patch[/strike] garden was apparently more suitable for them than anyone else's big fancy gardens [looks for smug/lazy moo emoticon].

    AND I'd had more species in the garden in the last few days as well.

    Not bad for a town centre postage stamp :)
