Has anyone got a pot of elbow grease that they do not need? If so, can I procure it please?

My lovely decorator man will be here on Monday to paint the kitchen. So I am cleaning the walls, and the woodwork. I am trying to just use water and one of those "eco cloths". Cif will be used on the more stubborn stains. I would much rather be out in the garden, but I do not want to have to rush the job if I leave it to the weekend.

The kitchen was last decorated …. um..... er…. twenty years ago. It is still mostly clean, but there are some dinks, and cracks in the paintwork, and needs it a new coat of paint and new flooring.

Plus 1 for sugar soap.

Oh, and wear gloves when you use it.

Try 'Sugar Soap'

My walls are obviously not greasy, as the microfibre cloth on it's own got most of the marks off the walls. A dab of Cif removed the rest. I will have another go tomorrow using sugar soap, if necessary.

Bad cake, though. People who bake and sell dry cakes shouldn't charge £3.50 for a slice (and...........believe it or not..............it was served with that spray-foam artificial cream. I didn't think that foul gunk existed any longer).

Oh dear, that's not good. Squirty cream does have its place, although I'm not a fan of it to be fair.

However, I do have my home made spiced apple and sultana crumble...

Elbow grease no longer required?

 

[Reynard]

Dunno about elbow grease, but I do have a tube of axle grease...

Supplies of elbow grease were formatted into two pecan plaits.

I'll be over shortly. If you haven't made custard, I'll just have some condensed milk with mine.

Apart from "bendy curtain rails" is there a special name for curtain rails that bend?

My Dad used to eat condensed milk sandwiches.
