    You don't have to wash your kit often - doing it too much can make the undies loose their shape!

    As a non-smoker going into smokers homes, I noticed the smell on the clothes - put them on your rail in a spare "area", spray some Febreze gently over them and leave overnight. It worked well and you didn't notice the smoke smells.

    It was waiting until the kids had gone to bed though to wipe down the toys - they can get a bit grubby with fingerprints/dust etc.

    All that hassle and no money for it - awww that's so unfair! Have a nice day out with Ste and try and have a rest for five mins.

    This is the first time I've washed it. Just annoyed because if they hadn't spilt alcohol and fruit punch all over everything then I could've just hung them on the line and aired everything out. :rolleyes: :mad:

  • Hmmm I wonder if this is the reason you got them passed on to you in the first place, maybe they are a bunch of known nightmares with their spillages and smoke. I think a quick offload onto someone else sounds a great idea. Really hope you get that kit sorted so you can have some time with Ste. And remember if you do buy Febreze for your kit it is a business expense!! Don't just bung it in with your normal shop. Sounds a great idea for quick tarting up of kit though if it isn't dirty.

    if you've got an empty spray bottle, water and a few drops of lavender oil makes a cheapy version of Febreeze if they just need a bit of an air ;)

    Oh god I'm depressed. lol. Instead of a pub lunch we went to pizza hut. :)
    After that we went shopping as I needed some new bras......

    My one hate in life.... Wouldn't be so bad if my size wasn't considered 'pre-teen'. :( I managed to get some in the end.. but now feeling seriously inadequate with myself now.. *sigh*

  • Have you seen Trinny as in the style duo, she has a very flat chest and IMO she looks great! She dresses for her shape as they say and makes the most of it.
    I know what you mean though most of us feel inadequate about something with our bodies.

    Sar,
    If it makes you that unhappy, save up and have a boob job.
    I'll have one one day for sure! Mine are a decent size at the minute due to 4 stone extra weight but will be like kiwis in the ends of socks onc the weight is gone...
