It could be a memorial topic for Michelle of Lakeland.

JackieNo · 23/05/2006 14:53

I miss them too, Puff. Have you seen \link{http://www.reallyusefulproducts.co.uk/uk/index.htm\this site} for boxes? All the different sizes you could wish for.

puff · 23/05/2006 14:51

Do Lakeland sponsor a topic? Bet they would do it like a shot.

puff · 23/05/2006 14:51

I miss the Anthea threads.

Housekeeping will be both informative and hilarious - it will produce some mumsnet classics.

JackieNo · 23/05/2006 14:48

We could get the people who make 'Anthea Turner: Perfect Housewife' to sponsor it...

If there is one, i will lurk and my house will be no cleaner as I alrady send too much time on here instead of tackling the nasty stain which is my entire house.

Ocasionally I may post (under an assumed name of course,) with lentil-weaver tips about raw potato as an over cleaner Grin

our local hardware store ( no really - they wear housecoats) the woman said to me re cillit shebang ' they spend a lot on advertising but not a lot on the product'
I cannot bear to be shouted at by barry..to obliterate things 'Flash kitchen with bleach' but you do need a pinny!

you is a scary mumma

Cappucino · 23/05/2006 12:33

got a bit obsessive over the tops then didn't I?

Cappucino · 23/05/2006 12:32

oh, cillit bang just annoys me

their advertising is aimed entirely at people who want to obliterate their entire home - it's just overkill

my mother buys it, she says 'it's not as good as bleach' which is the only other thing she ever uses - she never thinks of actually, y'know, cleaning things, just throwing the most powerful stuff at them and then standing well clear

also it turns stuff pink. a couple of dd's tops got an unattractive splodgy make-over when left too near to my mother's overenthusiastic spraying, and it doesn't come off

AllieBongo · 23/05/2006 12:30

aahhh i see. one of my mums well know phrases is "i got bleach on it" all her clothes get mullered

Cappucino · 23/05/2006 12:28

Cillit Bang makes things go pink, and then it won't wash out

I know because a few of dd's tops have been given the pleasure of my mother's overenthusiastic spraying

so that's why Barry is wearing a pinny

AllieBongo · 23/05/2006 12:26

poo.....come on then, tell me why i shouldn't used "the Bang" then

Cappucino · 23/05/2006 12:25

I can't watch this due to some javascript problem

and I'm rather relieved
