His had exams all week but has coped ok. Him and his Dad didn't want to get out of bed the next morning though, but yes after the win it did make a difference. He had a great time thanks Madison.
I called Man U today who said we will receive our ticket refund by Monday at the latest, apparently they sent out email about this, not that I received!

Napisan all the way. Discovered it while living in Oz. They do cold washes there so Napisan everything. Works wonders.

I'm in a soft water area. Whites are white - separate white wash. 40 or 60.

I use any whitener / oxy thing I find down in the pound shop.

No they don't ever stay white. I almost always have to use whiteners to keep them at least grey.

We have all white bedding and all white towels. Some are 8 years old and have stayed white. Hot washes (60 degrees minimum) and bio powder (not liquid) works for me. I don't use any stain removers or whiteners.

Colour catchers for whites with any hint of non-white in the load.

We just wash at 60 degrees with an Eco laundry powder. Always whites alone. Everything is white
