I'm missing my DS, he won't be home until tomorrow evening!
It's so quiet here.

I have just finished cleaning the bathroom, pc is on a table in the dining room so that'll get done on that day whenever it crops up during the week.

Went and bought new undies in Primark today after flinging some yesterday.
Also a new shower curtain as our old one was way past it's best.

Also have 3 handbags and 2 necklaces towards the next car boot sale and 3 tops have been dispacthed to the charity shop. Not quiet a 39 fling boogie but a few less items now in the bedrrom.

Have also written out a couple of birthday cards and wrapped a variety of pressies for birthday's coming up in the next week, including DS's 8th b/day on Sat.

Evening everyone

Redspecs -

"Hello? I'm scared. I wanna do this and join in, but my house is so messy, ain't nothing just needs a 'swish n swipe', its a good ol' scrubbing or nothing! Any advice?"

Welcome. just do a little bit at a time you’ll eventually get there. The flying felt more like plodding when I started but after a little while something that initially took you half an hour to do will prob take 3 minute. I too work FT and have a 15yr old and 9 yr old, but then I do stupid stuff like start baking at 1030 at night

Pigpen

I haven't actually done anything!! but I smell nice

What did you use, I’ve had my other order arrive and am loving it

Mudbath what I want to know with the little delight that came round did he actually enjoy the fruit ?


Hope someone can help with a simple question - what can I use to clean my door/windows. I used to use Windowlene as i had a bottle but i have run out. Haven't got any vinegar. Any suggestions would be great. Needs to be able to get yoghurt of

Ooooh, I love it when my best friend phones me. Not only do we get to catch up on the gossip, but I put on the wireless headphones and multitask. Guess what -

My kitchen now has surfaces again, the recycling is in the bin where it should be and all the washing up is done. YAY!

For those of you flyladies who don't have a handsfree telephone kit - I recommend it!

mumofjust2,

I normally just use a water-spray and e-cloth.

If that doesn't shift then hot soapy water to remove residue then water spray and e-cloth to polish/shine.

Hope this helps.

Got any lemons or oranges in? Anything citric-acidy will cut through the grease. How about the car - do you have a windscreen wash bottle in there to add to the water for cleaning the screen? At a push, washing up liquid will do but you need to rinse, rinse and repeat the rinse.

Actually, are you admitting here that you DON'T have a 12 months supply of stardrops and a microfibre cloth in the house?
