G&B, ahh, it all becomes clear! Hope embb's avatar isn't Gary Barlow, I've never thought him handsome before but then I m having new specs at the weekend...
Thanks for the congrats folks, hot chocs are on me tonight. When my boss got his promotion he brought in a ridiculous amount of Milky Bars just so he could say the ad line from the 70's.
Soappie,glad you qualified the 'eliminate' thing, I was wondering..I missed most of last weeks posts so I'm guessing it wasn't the gardener. Hope the nose has stopped gushing, no tips I'm afraid.

Don't think I got to level 3 but the hob, grill and inside of the oven door are clean. I love Starclen. I'll put the dishes away in a bit and get my lunch together for tomorrow then that's it. I've eaten a whole bunch of asparagus with my tea; I want to know if the myth is truth :rotfl:

Where do you get Starclen from I have tried in my local supermarkets but no luck, nor in Savers which is where I get my Stardrops.

My local spend n save/ poundstretcher type place does the whole range but I think I've seen it in Morrisons too. I don't have a Wilkinsons/Wilco by me but I think they do it if you're near one. I've stopped using Stardrops since I found Starclen - less effort and smells like I've cleaned if you see what I mean!

skint_spice

ok - here's my first go, I was at work from 8-6 and then had to run mercy errand to asda as DS urgently needed new plimsolls (why do they never mention these things at the weekend)...not bad for first attempt.

Kitchen all done including the cutlery drawer. Made a banana and sultana loaf whilst I was out there so that is cooking now.

Lil_me I'll be with you doing the living room tomorrow. It only got a quick hoover last week and the bedroom is not bad so can wait another day.

Need to finish the ironing so I can put the board away as it is in the living room

Solway congrats on your promotion
Soappie has it stopped?

Thanks, there is a Wilkinsons near me so will have a look in there on Wednesday. I think it is less easy to find down here as it is a northern company so us southerners miss out, although my local Asda has just started to sell Stardrops, I noticed it in there the other day but already have loads of that. I have just searched it on Ebay but it comes to £4.28 including postage, which is a bit steep really considering it is so cheap to buy in the shops.

Phew, yes it's stopped - it was from deep up the nose rather than down the nostril bit. Ten man sized tissues full off and on :eek: Still feel congested up there but I ain't blowing for a bit!

Thank you all for your help and for being there - it's just I've never had anything like that before and panicked a tad. But I'm fine now. Will spent the rest of the evening sitting quietly (my perfect excuse for not doing the washing up or making a headstart on tomorrow's fly lady stuff:D) before making sure I'm in bed by 10 pm

I suffer from quite bad sinisitus sometimes, it is less nowadays though. It is usually triggered by stress for me and is nothing to do with congestion as such just seems inflamed, things like smoke and dust etc. also set it off. I only realised it was stress related when I was less stressed and now get attacks quite rarely. I have only ever had a nosebleed with it once though, maybe it is something you should mention to GP next time you see them. And definately have a rest;)

What? Not even the tiniest smile? Actually, she's been very quiet today...I hope she's ok!:o

No.. it is killing me and I find it incredibly painful to sit on it!!

I was desperate for the loo earlier so I ran upstairs dropped my kegs and plonked myself on the loo and leaped about 6 feet in the air due to the pain..

I've kind of cleaned the kitchen.. I've flung 6.5 binbags out of the middle room and recycled half the big things in there (buggy, treadmill and desk have takers and a snowsuit, curtain pole, shoe cupboard and bricks about to go on!!) I'm on one I think!!!!!!!

I think I am also coming down with tonsillyitus again!!

Mudbath

I've had to open a bottle of red for medicinal reasons if anyone wants a glass? I think i've wrecked puppydog's christmas duvet by washing it...it's got no shape and is lumpy now??!?

Whispers so as not to wake her if she's sleeping - {pigpen...are you ok, you're awfully quiet} Oh well, no dog biscuits to dip in my wine! xx
