    Hi everyone Ive been MIA so I'll be catching up later.

    Already spotted some bad news re the S&G not working again :mad: it stopped working a while back and then restarted :( stopped again.

    No idea what to buy in Sada now, nothing glitching or at least things I buy. I haven't got many APG anyway but it would be nice to use them up. MY Sada credit card bill came today, only 4 shops and a spend of about £40 and of that about £20 was bedding and stuff for son.
    I think I've lost the Sada habit ....

    it would seem that editing my signature, enabling avatars and finally adding one of my own is preferable to the quantum physics :o

    Cleaning the wall in my bathroom is preferable...

    I always used to get an overwhelming urge to polish my shoes, all of them, when I had revision to do.

    Aw it is lovely innit - sitting on the patio or terrace as my aspirational MIL calls it. Kids having pizza express for tea(courtesy of Mr T) - only work is later when the sun goes down!!!

    Patio or terrace - far more posh to have a verandah :rotfl:

    We go for retro and say backyard :D

    We have done two test areas on the block paving. Weeds went brown in a few days. :j

    I have found it best to boil the vinegar and dissolve as much salt in as poss. It is then decanted to a washing up bottle and squirted down the cracks in the paving.

    I have tried to find out if there is a chemical reaction, but it seems to be a solution of salt dissolved in vinegar. The salt is a dessicant and the vinegar disrupts the cells. Adding water will just dissolve more salt, but dilute the vinegar!

    Good idea to heat it outside though!:rotfl:

    But why do you have to boil the vinegar at all?

    It works better hot (well not that I have tried it cold) and it means you can dissolve the salt into it. Oh, and I lurvvvve the smell of hot vinegar. Reminds me of cooking chutney. mmmmmmm
