Apple - Other than a normal wash I haven't done anything. I nearly bought some vanish the other day but decided to see what MSE suggested.

Only have the liqui tab things, but they should melt in hot water in a bowl, right?

Hi all,


SFD today, which brings me to 9 I have done something new this week, but I am wary of posting too much on here as not sure who is reading (longer standing turtles will probably get what this may be). I have been to temping two days this week and have a tutoring session tomorrow so I am still earning the pennies


Hope you are all well

Well done fmess on your something new! Go girl! (And I'm guessing it isn't buying a new pair of shoes...?!)

Shyspender my mother's answer for any problem about stains is lemon juice. Soak in lemon juice and then wash normally with a bit of elbow grease. In tropical countries they soak in detergent and leave under the sun. UV light does wonders I whitening laundry. Unfortunately we don't have much of that here in the UK specially in the winter.

Fmess, best wishes on your something new. Keeping my fingers crossed for you.

Checking in with NSD number 9 today! Yay!

Very busy day at work today, didn't have much time for anything else. Was a bit gutted with myself - finished slightly late at work, thought I would be late for my sewing class so rushed to get there only to find out there were no classes this week due to the half term. Not pleased about the petrol I wasted but there's nothing I could do. It could have been worse - I could have gone shopping, spent money and lost an NSD. When I got home, hubby had already started on cooking dinner so I was able to put my feet up.

Thanks apple and tog No it wasn't buying new shoes although I did buy some yesterday with money I got for my birthday last month.

Morning all
Sorry I didn't check in last night - it was after 9pm when my friend went home, and after I'd done a long and rambling update on my diary I was just ready for sleep. My mood is much improved after seeing her Everyone needs a person like that in their lives.
I had a bit of a lie in this morning - the sun is shining and although I still didn't feel like getting up I made myself get up. No major plans for the day other than to get me and the kids to the dentist for a check up after lunch - and relax, let the housework go and just generally ignore the world around me. I haven't done any knitting or crochet for 3 days now so I think I'd best make myself get on and do that today - I find it so relaxing when I have the time.
Gawd I wish the school holidays were longer - I don't feel rested yet at all. Still, it's only 4 and a bit weeks until Easter and hopefully a good rest.

Go Fmess. Lovely (sort of) news.

Sorry for not reporting in yesterday. I was ill. Lying down was better then standing, sleeping was better than being awake. Read a little bit and had a little food (2 apples, 2 yoghurts, low fat cheese spread on oatcakes, tuns steak with veg).

Feeling a little bit better today. I have been to my counselling/ local history meeting but it was a struggle to get home (caught the £1 bus).Could do with going shopping (down to last apple) but may just stay here. Will have to catch up with new experiences later.

Today (for yesterday) I am grateful for sunshine, for my lovely bed and for the flannelette sheets I turned into rags.
