    Vinegar! I've had toilet roll soaked in the malt stuff clagged onto the mark for a few hours. It's definately loosened it. Will clag bleached roll on for a few hours this afternoon to try again and get the harpic max at the weekend. Thank you!

    Hello all

    I'm feeling extra Christmassy today :). Brugges was lovely, the markets are more food and drink orientated than then bigger ones in Germany but it was still very festive. The smells, the music, the beautiful buildings....just lovely. The ice kingdom was breath taking, I'm in complete awe of anyone that can take a block of ice and turn it into a recognisable object, let alone some of the intricate carvings we saw.

    Today has been a bit of a catch up day and I forgot to get anything out the freezer for tea so will have to fudge something together later.

    Hugs to all, especially Shegar x

    I love Bruges, and I loved the 18 hours on the ferry to get there. I wish it was still running but they stopped it. Sounds brilliant pooky.

    After all, given that much of the sorting process is by machine, they are hardly likely to go through the sorted mail and take out all the second class ones are they? (Or do they?!)


    RPP


    The machines seperate 1st from 2nd class Rosie but yes they will probably get there.

    Too much time wasted and time is so precious. 2014 is a new beginning for me. All the best to you all.
