    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 :p

    FizzWhizz, Is this a spray and where did you get it from please? :)

    I don't suppose any of you are tortoise owners by any chance? :)

    I'm guessing my next door neighbours are out as their 3 dogs have been barking constantly for nearly an hour :mad:
    I must keep moving today because every time I sit down for more than 5 minutes the new kittens climb on me and go to sleep. I currently have one on my leg and the other on my shoulder! Both asleep! And I only sat down to write this post!

    Not a spray, no, I got it from Aldi and it looks like this, I just cover the top of the bottle with a sponge pad and upend it, works a treat on everything I have tried thus far! HTH :)

    I have lots to do today -- need to go to Ald!, collect an order from the HoF in town, deliver DSS's birthday cards as I forgot them yesterday :mad: and pick up a new kit bag for DS1 -- but I am feeling a bit sick and a lot tired. Will drag my sorry backside to the kettle in a min, kill or cure time.

    ETA, I've decided to procrastinate instead. I need to update my Nook with new books, any recommendations? I will read most things, I've just finished the Harry Hole series, am currently reading "A Working Stiff's Manifesto" and I have "Arbella; England's Lost Queen" ready to go next. Anything goes, although preferably not chick lit :o TIA!
