I am hauling myself back on this week
So will go for level two tomorrow as am at work all morning and then it is off food shopping, which should be intresting as I have a very strict and small budget fo the month :eek:. Oh and i have never really had to budget on food before so wish me luck :rotfl:Lots of creative recipies from OS forum me thinks .

Can't tell you how chuffed I am to have found you lot I am doing things that I never though I was capable of including learning to live within my means and see it as a challenge rather than a chore :j.

Vivw I love the pictures of the kitchen and your dresser is fab - i love the colour. I'd love to have a new kitchen, but everything in our flat is very old. We need a new boiler some point soon, but the plumbing is really dodgy so that will need redoing, and we'll also have to move the boiler as it is not next to an outside wall. While we're at it, the electrics are also really old and need redoing. The bathroom has a nice sink, but horribly stained enamel bath and toilet with the most disgusting cistern I've ever seen! So whilst we're doing all that, I'd like to knock the wall between the living room and kitchen down... So we're doing nothing for the next 10 years or so until we can afford it!

I harpic'd my enamel bath.. worked really well on most of the marks.. needed a few goings over ont he worst bits though.

I am desperate for a drink.. hubby best hurry up home! lol

WM's and TD's all on.. all 4.. I have the first 2 loads from the shed in.. with zoflora, wash powder AND twice as much comfort as I normally use.. and the rinse hold so they get to marinate in the conditioner overnight... they will be hung on the line to blow away some more smell tomorrow.. I have a smell in the back room as well and I don't know what it is.. I 'think' it might be a damp bit of crappet under the TD.. I'll drag it out and look tomorrow!

Well.. my new kitchen went in 2 years ago and I've never done mine yet.. that one was my mothers idea for tomorrow so don't go moaning at me lol..

Not moaning, it's the kick in the @ss I need!!! The previous occupants of our flat were not really (at all) into cleaning. The flat was rented out to them for 5 years before we bought it. There was an unused toilet brush sitting next to the toilet - it had obviously never been introduced to its neighbour. I had to use serious chemicals to clean the loo! So as well as my slovern 9 months of dirt on the cupboard top, there's the previous 5 years worth too!

Thanks Madcatgirl....I am lucky the OH [see him busy at work here ]can do the work himself with a little help from me. Except for the cooker, fridge and flooring, its not going to work out that expensive.

Madcatgirl

Pigpen, does harpic work on enamel baths? I can't get the stains off mine whatever I try.

Tip for cupboard tops ....line the top with wallpaper [ get cheap £1 roll of discontinued from B & Q] or newspaper and ever so often, remove it and replace with new
