  • Depends how often you will wash and how quick to dry. I would do a wash everyday and dry in tumble so 10 would be plenty....I'm not having anymore babies though :D

    Thanks hun, x

    I've used all sorts over the years, but I've found something that appears to sort it properly: Polycell 3in1 Mould Killer. I got it from Homebargains before Christmas. I think I've seen it as a spray, but I have a litre bottle of it which you apply with a paintbrush. You need to wear gloves and eye protection, personally I also wear a mask or at least cover my mouth just in case. 6 months on from doing a particularly bad area of the kitchen ceiling and still no regrowth :D:j
    Thanks for that info - I've cut'n'pasted the details to an email to Mr LW - I'll have forgotten by the time he comes home from work, and we have a couple of persistent patches I'd like to eliminate permanently if at all possible.

    My kitchen floor is a mess.:( The woofers track in loads of detritus from the garden; I can't vacuum while I'm on my own with them, as Bailey is scared of the vacuum, so one of us needs to take them outside to play while the other vacuums. I think we need to get on top of that this evening - I'll give Mr LW the choice of which he does, entertain the dogs, or vacuum.:o

    I've been grooming the dogs outside on a daily basis - they're both moulting, and Bailey's long-haired, so he's losing handfuls. Been putting it over the fence for the birds to use for nest lining.:D
    If your dog thinks you're the best, don't seek a second opinion.;)

    Well I've been pants at housework this week but I've done bits here and there

    The Lottie and back garden have had most of my attention as well as doing paid for gardening :

    Just had to put more bird food out as the Mums and Dads are busy feeding themselves :]] Love seeing Robins at this time of the year - no idea why lol

    Crocheting too in any spare time - making a massive [hopefully] blanket for the winter, making lots of squares, I can do one square in 25 mins which I'm quite pleased about although I'm sure the experts can knock them out quicker, just need to learn how to join them all.

    Seriously need to hoover as I'm another with a moulting dog - hairs get everywhere :[
    Projects made for craft fair - 40 :)
    1st fair on 13/4/14 :j

    Afternoon all

    Paid stuff done. Tonight's meeting cancelled - very pleased about that.

    Mrs MP do not try to turn it on. Put it somewhere warm (airing cupboard, in a bowl of rice if you can) for a week. Then try it. If that doesn't work there is less hope.

    Just finishing my cuppa then I'm goingto put the washing on the line, make a cake and I may pop to town.

    My eldest used to 'posset' back bits of milk for months..... changing clothes was an hourly chore! Be prepared!

    OH not going out tonight so there goes my plans for a peaceful evening!

    DD2 sent to get keys cut and my boots reheeled.
    DS2 has a pile of binbags to drop at CS and 2 wash baskets to bring down.

    I have got 2 empty boxes out of my room filled with rubbish and a box emptied of books onto a shelf so I am down to one box of random gibble. I have some more boxes to get my eyes in so hopefully more junk to go.

    The council made my day by sending a letter saying they are doing free bulky item collection in a couple of weeks which means I can clear my front garden and the back garden and hopefully a shed too!!! I have loads of stuff to go. I currently have 3 sheds but 1 is in fact a playhouse (with my spare freezer in) so I want that emptied for garden toys and the small middle shed I want emptying and binning.. I will have rid of the piece of junk!! I just don't want to empty it due to the size of the Freds and Boris's in there!!! They are so big their boots are size 10 and you can see the hairs on their legs!!! :eek: Nasty thing jump on you too.. ggrr

    Bathroom and loo S&S'd.

    My bedroom is completely trashed again and I am so incredibly tired still.. I think I might be back to a silly level of anaemic! (I was 5-7Hb by the time the others arrived so not holding out for much better with this one!)

    Opto-- I don't put mine in person clothes for months and needed about 15-20 sleepsuits and vests for mine, Squeak used to do the most amazing explosive poops at every feed so would go through 6 or 7 sets of clothes at least. We used bibs for the constant drool from 5 weeks and milky droobles. She still drools a fair bit at nearly 3 and Dot is a dribbler too. I'm hoping this one isn't.. though I have 20 bibs in preparation! lol.

    my son was never sick ... he wasn't a dribbler either i was going to get 10 of each age and see how we go but have some money in the bank incase we need extra ... family may buy it some clothes too so didnt want to get too much and find half of it never gets worn ... im hoping to keep it in sleepsuits till around 6 months maybe longer if DP lets me :rotfl: its going to be a winter baby so i wont be faffing with skirts and pramsuits (if its a girl) ... its not a good mix .. i found it really awkward and it took three times as long a few months ago putting DP's baby cuz (a girl) into her pramsuit with a frilly little skirt and her little shoes she had were annoying too.. :o
