How are you feeling today ? I had a steam cleaner but it took too long to put together so I think I sold it on. I do have a floor steam cleaner and I love that. It was way too hot for my liking yesterday I hid most of the day inside.

I'm glad you can get the money back for the steam cleaner. I wish there was an easy way to clean things. I hope you're feeling better today.

I hope you feel a bit better tonight. It’s been hot and sunny here too but started pouring with rain at 6.30pm which was a shame.

I was feeling better last night but popped into town today and now I'm aching again, hopefully it will go away because I'm working tomorrow, it was quite cool in the evening and there might have been a small shower but it didn't last long

Sorry to hear you are not so well, OBL. Hope you pick up soon. 
I was tempted to buy a steam cleaner back in my Spendy Era (complete with assorted bits of kit). I had high hopes of it but found it to be very average in its cleaning performance. It was also a tedious faff getting it out, filling it, fitting various nozzles, etc, so it didn't feel worth the effort to get it out to deal with just a couple of jobs. I barely used it. It was relegated to the cupboard under the sink where it drowned when our kitchen flooded a couple of years later. And thence to the bin. I haven't missed it even once.
I am very old-style now.... made a cracking job of cleaning my kitchen cupboard doors a few weeks ago. I just used diluted 'St*rdrops' (the opaque amonia one which is for tougher jobs) & a couple of cloths made from old cut-up towels. 
I would now find it uncomfortable to hold the 'on' button down throughout use, because I have arthritis in my thumbs.

Yep it was a faff to put together, I think I was having a spendy episode 🙀😳 when I decided to buy it, the only difference between now and back then was that I would have bought it with my credit card and this time I used cash because I had it there. I think I need to have a word with myself before I slip back into old habits 😟

There is a board on MSE called How Much Have You Saved and I spent a pleasant evening reading people's Saving diaries on there last night, I'm all fired up to save now 😀

As far as cleaning goes I will go back to good old white vinegar and bicarb, I haven't seen the opaque S Drops, My Mr W sells the normal one though

I have  a steam cleaner I bought years ago. I find it is great for defrosting the freezer but not much else.

Damn I wish I had thought of defrosting the freezer before I sent it back 😀

Thanks, I was this morning but stupidly went into town instead of resting at home today and now I'm aching again, I'm going to bed shortly because I am working tomorrow so hopefully will feel better again in the morning

I felt better this morning but not feeling so good now 😟 my DD has a floor steamer and loves it, if I do end up changing my floors to wood I might invest in one, I haven't spent much time sitting outside at all because I cant stand the heat. When I was younger I was real sun worshipper but I just get too hot now, now I know what my mum was always on about when she moaned it was too hot 😀

I sent it back today so hopefully should get a refund soon, I also wish there was an easy way to clean things. The sad thing is I actually like cleaning and find it very good to relieve stress but lately I am either in too much pain or im too tired to want to do it. Before I had the job I've got now I was a professional cleaner and loved it, I get a real sense of satisfaction from seeing something messy turn into something clean but I seem to have lost my cleaning mojo 😟

I felt better this morning but DD wanted to go into town to buy some shoes for work so I went with her and now am in pain again 😟 I'm going to dose myself up with codeine and paracetamol and go to bed. I'm back at work tomorrow but then have two days off,I'm hoping it won't be too busy so I can take it easy.
We sent the steam cleaner back today so should receive a refund soon😊 I didn't need anything in town apart from loo roll,I was fancying cheese and onion  quiche though so bought an individual one from Mr S and had it for my tea with some salad. I don't normally buy quiche because I prefer to make my own but was feeling lazy,it was actually really nice ( not as good as mine though 😜) 

Ive been reading posts on a board on here called How Much Have You Saved and it's very inspiring. I already know I'm going to save DDs rent money to pay for house improvements and I've worked out that in three months I will have enough to get the floors done downstairs. I need to paint every where in the meantime so I now have a three month timetable to get downstairs painted ( Don't mention the bathroom that I still haven't finished 😀) I have pencilled the bathroom into the week off I have in August, one week of work left and I am off. I have made plans for every holiday I have had so far this year and not done most of them mainly due to a complete sense of apathy that seems to descend whenever I have any time off. I am determined not to waste the next holiday. I know one day I'm meeting a friend for lunch and I will go riding on another day but that leaves the rest of the week to do stuff I keep putting off. I just need my body to play ball and it will be all systems go 😀
