Another thought, which helped me a lot the last time I did it and I [STRIKE]tried to[/STRIKE] did follow it was, that if I am cleaning my house every week, why not try to clean my body and give it a break:). It was something like this, but it is a bit too early for me to search for the exact wording:o
Anyway, good luck all and have a nice week:A...reality is a point of view...0 -
Confirmations from cleaning stuff I got - SELs still full price.
Harpic rim edge thingies (I'm not excited either Fairclaire
) - 20p
Mr Muscle over cleaner £1
Dettol Limescale remover £1
Fairy citrus all-in-one dishwasher (20s) £2
Anchor baking pack - £2.50
Hmm well when you put it like that it does look more worth getting excited about. I am strangely drawn to cheap dishwasher tabs

:rotfl:just a thought but would they be covered under your contents insurance as it was a genuine accident?
Maybe worth a look.....Just popping in before I retire for the night.
Good luck to all the 5:2 ers who are starting today. 30 minutes in and I am already hungry. :eek:

And who is this Miss Pain that DM was talking about, Dotty!
I now have to take DD2 to the opticians tomorrow, she can't drive herself as I stood on her expensive glasses earlier.
She thinks I should pay to have them repaired, lens is totally smashed. But really she should not have left them on the floor and I have a poorly foot now as it was the type of glasses with no frame at the bottom and I stood right on the glass. :eek: Think will wait and see how much repair is before I decide who will pay, am I being a bit mean?
