Wiped down all the worktops in the kitchen with Zoflora. I did see it's not the kitchen tomorrow but it stinks of cauliflower out there so I'm trying to get rid of the smell! I've got the window open but it really lingers. I do like cauliflower though so I'll just have to put up with it. When do we start getting sprouts? I love them Don't like the frozen ones though.

One batch of ironing done, now going to hang on the washing line...hope this is the ok way to do it!!

I've got to pack all my clothes later as I'm working away from home for the next 4 weeks :eek:

I thought I'd washing, iron then dry....does that make sense? It might get crumpled when packed....but I'm hoping not too much.

I read yesterday that if you put some vinegar in the water (1tbsp I think) it stops the smell. I steam mine so I don't think it would effect the taste.

Can I just recommend the lakeland tumble dryer balls ? Ref 20332 I got some last week and they are absolutely fantastic!!!.. they have literally halved the amount of time it takes to dry a load.. a full load in my full size dryer taks about 2 hours normally.. with the balls it is taking 50-60 minutes!!! This is heavy stuff as well like towels and bedsheets (it was raining!)

I am officially a nerd now! lol
