  • I know HAW Ive not looked up your diary yet either, I shall put that right asap. Welcome aboard, its all happening here!

    I just bought out of my gardening budget some gladioli and a giant pot which will come in handy for something in the garden. Money left will cover some compost if the compost bin is exhausted.
    I am also going to try and paint on the window releif. Probably wont do that tonight. I just hope it doesnt rain!

    Absolutely! It's also guaranteed to rain as soon as I unzip my hood from my waterproof jacket that I wear walking to work! :p:rotfl:

  • They dont call me Optimistic for nothing, Im gearing up for no rain and painting and a bit planting. Or other things.

  • It rained here precisely 20 seconds after I hung the washing out, went inside and shut the door! Not just a light spattering neither, full on cats & dogs, pffft!

    Hi SBO I have used ecoballs but didn't like them as much as laundry gloop or even usual powder..I now tend to buy huge sack of Ecover and cut down on what we wash so maybe 5 washes a week for 5 of us

    Gloop was good..may make some more soon...

    Well done on keeping on..your commitment to all things MSE is dead impressive

    So my 7 washes for 2 people is ridiculous!! I need to get a grip on this. No wonder washing is the bug bear of my life, i feel forever trapped in a world of washing clothes :rotfl::rotfl:

    well princess, I do 12 washes a week and have a 9kg washer, washing for the sake of it. My kids are never clean either!
