Foxy, I recently sent this to a friend who had a bad mould problem in her bedrooms.
For the mould. Wash the area down with a stiff brush. When dry, apply a fungicidal wash and leave for 24 hours. Apply an oil-based stain block and leave that to dry. Apply the finishing coats, preferably a mould inhibiting one. We pay about £31 for 5L fungicidal wash from Crown. Stain block £62 for 5L of the block Mould inhibiting finish coat £68 for 5L Make sure that you have good ventilation in the room.
Thank you, that sounds like it would be a thorough job and work. That's rather more than I had hoped to spend on just a few small stains though!
You are likely to be able to buy smaller quantities. You would always do all these steps, except the finished paint. Then when you are ready to decorate the room, paint the stains with a stain block, and paint with the appropriate paint. I personally love Zinser stain block... but it is expensive, but you get what you pay for. x
A bit like work then, although personally I can't think of any job I'd hate more than being a teacher so full respect on that one!
Word! I getting close to being done.
I completely agree MW!
So much so that I've pulled the plug and opted for early retirement (I'm a little older than you and in my late 50s). Teaching isn't the job it used to be and I can't keep giving all of me - and still be asked for more!
I'm taking the summer as recuperation time then hopefully I'll spend more time posting on here, as I focus my attention on moneysaving!
I hope I'll be like Tweets and love the freedom it brings. Crossing my fingers that I won't regret it, even for even a minute!

I wasn't a teacher.... my job was worse. I jumped at 52. It took me 12 months to adjust to the lack of stress to enable me to enjoy my time. I never thought the stress impacted on me too much.... I now know it's still having a negative effect. God knows what I'd have been like if I worked another 14 years!
Hiya sorry, more cake available. Not happy with it but it's pretty identical to what she requested soooooo. Is what it is. On to the next thing on the very long list of stuff. Help yourself.
My cake on the left the pic they sent on the right.

im 47 and deffo will not make another 10 years. properly jealous DOC!! theres just no give any more, its all just take and like you say, its just never enough. The theres the way the media just hand us out to dry all the time, its basically like kicking a puppy. social media makes everything worse too. re kids and parents.
anyway. ill be needing another batch of counselling after i finish for PTSD, im not even joking. not even what ive seen and heard about kids horrendous lives, but what its done to me, i used to be an outgoing, confident person and im just a shell now, i reckon if they scanned our brains we would have the same markers as soliders in combat and abuse victims. no exaggeration.
on that note. cheers to a very very long and happy retirement DOC xxxx
I'd love to be that person who eats everything. I'm not, Mrs Mac will tell you, I'm a fussy pants. So I've never signed up for any of these boxes cause it would be a waste.
I've never been the type to look in fridge and magic nothing into something and although many things look delicious I know I won't like it.
I do like more than I used to but still got my favourite things...
I do however good for the family and they all have their fruit and veg.

I took early retirement from teaching 10 years ago, it certainly wasn't the job I went into in the early 80s. I always tried my best and worked hard , 12 hour days were possible in my 30s (even with my own small children) but not in my 50s. I still have the OFSTED nightmare dream now and again!
so apparently weve used up my asda 36 tubes of toothpaste. are there any gl1ches on atm ive missed or is it good old rainforest? i dont know HOW theyve used it all up

Me and OH will eat just about anything, 2 of the 3 kids are the same, but the littlest would only eat either really plain food (pasta with nothing else) or really spicy food. As long as he ate eggs, fruit and veg, I didn't worry. He will now eat anything with the exception of large mushrooms in a meal (he picks them out) or crisps (weird).
Ds2s partner has a really restricted diet, she jokes she eats beige food, but appears healthy. She is gradually beginning to eat a wider range of food, albeit reluctantly

lol i mean half of it has probs been washed off from the towel
I also retired early, different job, but same as, employer keeps piling it on until, ker plunk. Haven’t regretted it for a single minute. We did plan our finances carefully in the run up but we’re on the last leg before I get my state pension and it’s been absolutely fine.

Have a look on ebay, lots for sale on there. Are you sure you haven't put some away? 36 tubes seems a lot. 🤔
Remember when we all got "cheap" red letter day vouchers Well I went to Patisserie Valerie today It was Cr*P
Dry sandwiches as in dry fillings, soggy egg mayo on a brioche roll Rock hard scones and a poor selection of cakes I almost never complain but would have today except my pal nearly had a heart attack when I said about returning the scones
Sadly I still have another voucher to use up
Hope you have sunshine(we've not) and having a better day than me
Off to read a book
Edit My amazon order just arrived Hand wash (thanks Obama) and mini cleaning brushes DH just rolled his eyes

1onion, finely chopped lettuce leaves – about 4 large handfulls or 2 heads of washed/cleaned lettuce 2 large potatoes, peeled and chopped into 1 inch pieces 1½ pints of stock – chicken or vegetable Salt and pepper to taste 2 tbsp of oil Heat the oil in a large saucepan and add the onion and the potato, cook until the onion is soft. Add the stock and cook for 10-15 minutes until the potatoes are soft. Add the lettuce and cook for a further 5 minutes. Blend Season to taste Note, the darker the lettuce the darker the colour of the soup will be. Top the soup with fresh croutons or deep fried crispy onions (the tops of spring onions is ideal) or finely shredded radish and pea sprouts.
That reminds me, when cooking a curry, if I have some lettuce in the fridge I add it. Yummy. So another use for lettuce.
