good luck Arlene, did you use the cinamon sticks (with the water ??). I thought of you yesterday and actually bought some ready for when we put ours on the market later in the year, only for Jill to tell me we had a stash (of sticks !!) in the larder.

Oh, well, back under my stone I go..........

Best wishes

On the subject of red wine stains, salt and lots of water always works if you get in early. Trust me, I've had to do it enough.

The mind boggles !!

In actual fact I am using one now to clean around the kitchen.
Thought I would have a quick look on here while waiting for it to heat up again.

Damn it - I mean my wife is using it

Best of luck arlene, keeping everything crossed for you - I have a feeling in my water that it will sell really soon!!!! Must be all the g&t I drank kast night.

Glad to hear you are still going for it.

We have just come back from our validating trip to Perth & loved it - we are going Dec 04, gotta wait for hubbies sisters wedding & then we will go after xmas. We will be putting the house on the market at the end of Feb!!!

Keep on going for it
