Sugar Soap..

And other cleaning materials...VT has got the clearing bug. not content with doing the extension, he has now started on the kitchen. After breakfast this morning he started doing the kitchen cupboards. it is actually quite surprising how grimy they were. I have had the odd go at doing the ones over the cooker, but didn't really have the right stuff. VT has got this liquid wood cleaner, which you wash over the wood, and works ectremely well. The cupboards weren't really bad, because we don't do any frying or heavy cooking with fat or meat etc., but there is a film that you can feel on the wood. Now they are smooth again. I thought he had finished and he has just come upstairs to say he has done the ceiling!!! i didn't know he was going to do that. He seems to love doing things on his own, then makes me feel guilty.
Mind you I remember when I was working, he would come and collect me, and there would be a smell of polish in the house, i think he used to spray it around a bit before I came home! he now says he used to have a nap in the afternoon too and then wake up with a start at the time to come and get me! We did use to get up early every day then though.
Nowadays we go to bed later, then read for some time and generally go to sleep about oneish, so we get up later. that seems to suit us these days.
Jane rang up again this morning, and she said she had woken up at half past six and was wide awake, so got up and went to tescos. She said she got some croissants and some jam and they were beautiful. She had another letter from the solicitor..asking for more details. poor kid, it really seems to be dragging on, but I think it is nearing the end now.
It is quite sunny this afternoon, after all of the dull days we have been having. Wouldn't say it was hot though.
Tonight we are having:
Pasta bake with mushrooms and broccoli
A bit of garlic bread.
