I pay a nice man £40 to clean mine once a year, it’s definitely worth it

I find the stuff you use makes a difference
Mr Muscle is crap
Oven Mate is brilliant

I can't afford to have mine professionally cleaned, but I'd like to! Mr Muscle is what I used last time and it is indeed crap! I shall try that other stuff next. Thanks Pix!

My newt today is that I have cried off working!

Initially, it was raining hard and has been for hours... so I started working on my nieces final exam thesis I am helping her with. The pressure they put these kids under! I am sure it wasn't like that in my days...

Anyway, sun has now come out but decided to stay at home and do house tasks, some seed sowing and plant the hyacinths I had in the house that have gone over into the garden for next year.

I buggered up my shoulder a month ago, and just as it was getting better, I had to prune another tree and yesterday I foolishly though I could ram some stakes into the ground to weave a living willow fence. Not slept a wink last night it is so sore! Rest for me today... Withe a bit of bad luck, I have another month to go now before it gets better again. Bicep tendoninits usually takes 6-8 weeks. I should have known better. I am a muppet!!!

I am thinking of getting the oven cleaner in again it was done about 3yrs ago I keep on top of it but a deep clean is good.

I’ve been using Pink stuff paste it’s brilliant just been a range cooker it kills my knees and back sitting on the floor for hours.

I've been using Pink Stuff too - it's brilliant for pretty much everything

About This Thread

starblackheartstar The sixth running of Do a New Thing for Spring starblackheartstar

Lent has a special and specific meaning to Christians but has become an secular season of denial and hair shirting that serves no positve purpose. No chocolate, no booze, no -er - other stuff.

Why not treat the build up to Easter - as a chance to celebrate and embrace NEW THINGS - that's what spring is about after all.

The first few pages of the thread give more ideas.
