    Anyone know what I can use to cover a scratch on a upvc French door? It's not a mark that can be washed off, sort of taken the white coating off, IYSWIM?

    a smear of silicone sealant? Use something like a credit card to smooth it over?

  • Good morning all,

    DH went to work at 6am so I was up early making his pack up. Should have done it last night really but I was too busy relaxing on the Flylady sofa. Speaking of which I hope CY is ok xx

    Today's personal list:
    - 2 WM loads
    - wash DD bedding in addition to said loads
    - trip to potential volunteering organisation for a chat
    - charity shop run
    - collect new door handles
    - get DH to fit said handles when he's home
    - nip to MiLs
    - take DD swimming

    Have lovely Saturdays all x
    MFW :)

    Oh dear Lynne will it improve next week for you up there? Tuesday is supposed to hot here (25deg is hot for Yorkshire;))

    Good idea, Valli I may even have some leftover bath-fixing stuff so I'll dig out those and get it covered today. My dad is coming to wire in the wall lights so we'll have a HHDIY :D hope this week back at work has been gentle on you.

    Right I better go have a shower and get DD dance stuff together. From her lovely tidy wardrobe <3

    Take it steady, the flying will wait!


    Having my morning coffee in bed, freshly brewed, something that DD brought home from her work (with permission, it would have been thrown as it was tested for quality control) I have just googled it to see what it retails at in that there London:eek: and it's lovely.

    Off to See poorly sis shortly.
