    Me too! Not helped by my well meaning OH who has brought me ice-cream and home-made cookies over (still not walking very well).

    I think this board is turning into a lbs shedding one though. :)

    Toothbrushes are brilliant - i used to use mine to clean my motorbike chain. I use it to clean the grout with bleach and then whitening toothpaste.

    Toothbrushes are best. If you need cheap ones, go to a big-name supermarket and study near the floor next to the "real" toothbrushes. That's where the eerily cheap stuff goes.
