Goodness, you've all been busy chatting today, now I'm going to forget what you all said when I start to reply
Jen, well done on beating the black belt, that must have felt great. Re the floor, the best thing I have ever used and I don't know if you have them over there at all, are these little white pads, that are made by Mr. Clean, sort of like a washing up sponge and all you do is dip it in water, squeeze it out and wipe, it's called a magic eraser and it's bloody marvelous. I had a print from a magazine that got wet that ended up on the floor, I tried everything to remove it over four years and it was still there, when we were moving and had a final inspection I used the magic eraser and it totally disappeared... I use them on all sorts now.
Maz, New York hey? Good for you? Where abouts in NE are you planning on going? I'm in these here parts...
