Today I did probably the most Mumsnetty thing I've ever done. Am the first to admit that when I read about it on Mumsnet I was deeply skeptical, but after today I'm converted. Go on, guess what it was?

With thanks to all for this short lived (hopefully, but you never know with a Mumsnet thread let's face it) but glorious thread. Today, Mumsnetters, I bleached my skirting boards. And I cannot tell you what a game changer it was. They were filthy! And now they sparkle like freshly laid Christmas snow. They, and this thread, have made me a very happy Mumsnetter. Grin
