Afternoon Flyladies :wave:

Been to work for a few hours and have just finished scrubbing the bathroom (again), it has had a deep clean so a daily S&S should suffice in there for the rest of the week. The skirtings were manky again despite being done only a week ago, a combination of loo paper dust, traffic dust from the window being open 99% of the time and DH's obsession with talc :mad: means they're forever an inch thick in powdery dust.

I've also washed down all the doors in the flat; another big cheer for the Astonish all purpose cleaner, it has done an excellent job of getting the dirty fingerprints off without lifting any of the matte paint. Best 52p I have ever spent

Off to see if I can scrape together a load of washing and make the sandwiches for tomorrow, see you all later xx

Piggers :eek:! Barf! Where did you get it from?

Just off to take little Lily out for her walkies (after I get dressed ). Am unbelievably hanging at the moment and am on nights tonight so I stayed in bed until I could sleep no longer. That was 12:50! I wonder if I will ever get a normal body clock back after doing nights for so many years?
I will clean the bathroom when kid lets arrive home as DD has many items of gunge to remove from in there.

Eugh, feeling really sick now Pigpen; my OCD flares up even thinking about gone off meat let alone what you went through!!

Jazee many thanks for the recipe for banana loaf .

Had a lovely walk with Whiz this afternoon, it's so sunny outside I made the most of it! Done another load of washing (shower curtain/mats etc). Had plans to mop the floor but I think I'll do it tomorrow now.
