I used some spray to get rid of soap scum recently. It was in a well ventilated room and  I tried not to breathe it in, even so I started coughing a lot.  That is what got me thinking about green cleaning.  I also recently read a article that said lung cancer was the #1 cancer in the world.  Maybe it is not all from smoking or second hand smoke, but maybe it is from chemicals that get breathed in from cleaners.  I don't know, but could be. 

lilyr...I'll have to try that baking soda & white vinegar for my bathroom sink drain.  It always drains so slow.  I am also thinking of buying stainless steel cookware and replacing my non-stick cookware, so the burnt on food one will be good to use also.

Sun, I clean my tub, surround and shower doors with baking soda and baking soda only on a damp sponge.  Works great.  You have to rinse well but it's the only thing I've used for years.

I went to do the drain thing last night and realized I was out of vinegar.  I used up the last of it at Easter making beets & eggs.  Need to pick some up this weekend.

Oscar...That sounds simple enough.  I can do that with no problem.

 Has anyone tried using vinegar in the washing machine as a fabric softener?  My machine has its own cup for fabric softener, which I don't like to use because of the strong smell.  I thought vinegar might be nice instead...more natural and cheaper, but don't know how it would be with the clothes. 

lilyr...I did use the baking soda and vinegar on the sink.  Works like a dream now.

Hi, fellow fishies, I'm baaaa-aaaaack!  

My big sis and BIL finally left a couple of weeks ago and I'm finally back on my feet! 



Super crash once they'd left, only managing to drag myself out of bed around lunchtime then spending the arvo lying in front of the TV, barely managing to drag myself downstairs for food and drink.  The last few days I've been spending longer and longer sitting up, trying to get back into my games.  I'm still not up to doing much of anything else ... you should see the piles of washing down in the laundry! ... but I did finally manage to put the dishwasher on yesterday and hopefully I'll be able to unload it tomorrow.  But today I've been up since breakfast and haven't lain down once!  Yippeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!  I've even finished a game ... a great game!  Woo Hoo!!!!

 

Now I've got 5 weeks to get ready for my other sis to get here ... and she'll be here for 3 months!



But that isn't too bad as she has a lot of health issues herself and so doesn't mind hanging around home a lot and, unlike my big sis and BIL, won't be trying to force me to leave at 8 am every morning!



So, I'm back and have a few reviews to type up.  I'll try and get them done asap.



But what's been happening while I haven't been here?  What have you all been up to?
