Which floor cleaner, liquid kind?

Jing! Are your latches rusty?

pardon?

Wellthatgzvesuper grief. (I didn't mean the one son your corsets dear, honest)

That should be well that's what gave super grief!

Why does Jing's son have corsets, Jeni?

Ones on your corsets! My fingers have become thumbs today! And that's before the party!

I knew that jeni. I was being 'ockered!'.

Read an article recently by a top surgeon who thinks there'd be less MRSA and suchlike nasties in hospitals if they opened the windows and let in some fresh air and all the lovely friendly bacteria with it. I think his argument was that if you scrub all the friendlies away that makes it much easier for the nasties to take hold because they have no competition. In short, sterile may not be quite the right answer. Interesting.

Logical bagitha really. The cross infection control bit of our PCT now recommend handwashing with, wait for it............soap and water!

Why oh why don't they just ask us in the first place???

I agree. My granny used to say 'you've got to eat a peck of dirt before you die'
Dear lord, I've just realised I'm a granny now
What am I doing on this website? I think I've lost the plot!
I'd better go and lie down witha stiff vodka!
I can't be a granny! I'm too young!
Can anybody help me? I'm going crazy

You don't HAVE to be mad to be a granny, but it helps!

Can't believe I'm asking this but what's special about micorfibre cloths? They are beginning to turn my head but are pricey............are they worth it?

I love the glass cleaning one but I spray a very small amount of glass cleaner on the glass first then wipe it off with the microfibre cloth - it's brilliant much better finish than an ordinary cloth and much less liquid too. I think you can do the same thing with newspaper but I get filthy doing that! Didn't think much of the de-greasing one or do I just spread more grease around when I'm cooking?

I get them free when I do a Lakeland order for everybody!

What I like about them is the lack of fluff. I adore cotton and linen for most purposes, but they don't half leave a lot of fluff about and I have enough dust bunnies already. Microfibre is especially good for tiles and windows and you don't need to use chemicals with them, though you can if you want. I did try a microfibre towel too but wasn't impressed. Cotton is more absorbent and has a better 'grip' on skin, I think. Blether blether. oh yes! you can wash boil them too should you feel the need. (If your house gets as skanky as mine you might need to ).

Butty, you probably have micro-microfibre cloths for cleaning your camera lenses.

Think chamois leather but easier to deal with.

Ah, thanks bagitha - now I get it. May well go for a couple pre-wedding!
