    I've never scrubbed it elliechoons:) Just a wipe over with a damp cloth every day. Mind you, it has a few awful marks on it that used to really bother me but not now. They've been there that long that they sort of belong:)
    It's over 20years old now but for years and years was covered in an oil cloth.....handy when Ribena was being spilt:)

    Ribena I could probably deal with but its pen and colouring pen marks from homeworks that mine is covered in. Maybe they give it character. :o

    I don't know if you are into oil cloths or nor but I think they're great. Don't know anything about this company but just to show the range of designs you can get. They keep the table top looking like new and you can get them to match anything these days.
    I used to get them from a market stall. I once found one that matched my teapot. I'm embarrassed to say how happy that made me:rotfl::rotfl:

    Well I think I'll go and disturb MrTM.

    He's been racing today so hopefully I've just given it long enough for his legs to stop going round and round:rotfl:

    Sometimes it's not just his legs but his bum going up and down from side to side :rotfl:

    Heaven help us:rotfl:

    Most of our problems are self inflicted. It really doesn't like burning scrap wood including pallets or wood that is too fresh - it cokes up easily then because it doesn't burn it off. Also even though we have contract with the installers to come and fix etc, for some reason OH likes to fiddle first :rotfl:

    That is because he is male... and they like fiddling!

    We are going to have woodburners as well, so the non compliant wood will go on there.

    We really wanted ground source heating pump, but the quotes have been from £42,000 to £54,000...... :(:(:(

    Do you just make 2 separate applications Anon ? Tia ? xx

    Yes - once you have the online account, you can apply from within there (if you have the savings accounts, login and apply from there - I did both current accounts within days of each other).
