Gee, I don't mind. My family have given up asking what I do. I can bore them to yawns so rapidly, I can cure insomnia in just a few words.

I know it's not that bad at the moment....you can't clean the oven with it neat!! There isn't so much of a chlorine smell but I am tipping there will be in a few months.

I wash the car with spring water....I will clean the jets tonight and get some DI water from the shops and see how it works.

BTW Dbb Glen Cooper is a friend of ours so he'd laugh if he saw your post!!

And yes smilies are on rashions.....maybe they are following suit with the H2O restrictions!!

SCIENTISTS working in Antarctica fear the Ross Ice Shelf, an ice platform the size of France, could collapse quickly and trigger a rapid rise in sea levels.

Strangely enough Miss 7 and I did the same.... Except that we took a spirited trip down the street to use the heavy rain to blast some bird droppings before we chamois'd the car...

Worked a treat..

It rained the other day here while I was at work....didn't get out to move the car and now all the red dust has settled on the car in blobs....not happy

Jets cleaned and looking better! WD thinks I am too precious with the car....he wanted to blast the jets with the compressor...which meant taking them out...horrified scream saved the day!
