It’s time for a Spring clean!

Posted on May 19, 2013March 29, 2022 by jenny

Win with Febreze

Posted on March 27, 2013August 30, 2022 by jenny

On average we spend 312 hours each year in our cars, yet cleaning our mobile home-from-home is one of the nation’s most-neglected chores, with a third of Brits only cleaning the inside of their car every six months or less! I was surprised to hear that men clean the inside of their car more than…

Christmas Day count down

Posted on December 13, 2012February 23, 2015 by jenny

Not long now until the big day so I’m beginning to draw up a mental check list for what to do next. The personalised cards have been signed and sent, the presents wrapped and delivered, the decorations taken out of the loft and we’ve all come down with colds and a stomach bug. Bah humbug!…

Mountains of washing

Posted on November 14, 2012June 26, 2014 by jenny

Before children I know my washing basket didn’t overflow, it was easy to keep on top of. After children, the machine is on every day and dirty washing permanently seems to cascade out of the washing basket and over the floor. I must have the dirtiest children as it doesn’t seem to matter what they…
