Yes, you're right, the trick is to ensure that you don't notice anything!<BR/><BR/><BR/>Taz - No, I haven't quite gone that far, but I've been reminded that I need to! It's on my mind now!<BR/><BR/><BR/>Dusty Spider - It's a shame, isn't it? If I'm in someone else's house and I notice a dirty corner, I really couldn't care less!<BR/><BR/><BR/>Mud - LOL! Mind where you're splashing that bleach!<BR/><BR/><BR/>Rose - I'm glad you were there with me, so to speak! It's tough when you're trying to spoil yourself and it all backfires. There's no doubt that the bathroom is the room which needs most attention in the whole of the house!<BR/><BR/><BR/>the mother - How can you know me so well? Now, where are my eye drops....<BR/><BR/><BR/>Letty - Yes, there's no doubt that my eyesight is getting worse. If I'd put my glasses on, no doubt I would have noticed even more.<BR/><BR/>Choco Leibniz really are delicious. I don't buy them too often, because they are too tempting. I don't mind either - milk or plain!<BR/><BR/><BR/>Strawberry - That's not a bad idea, actually. Mud's comment conjures up all sorts of images! I always wipe down the shower, naked, but maybe that really is too much information!<BR/><BR/><BR/>Working mum - That's probably the best thing!Mean Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07829239249872290230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3793153250817873634.post-39873293053680032762009-02-11T20:02:00.000+00:002009-02-11T20:02:00.000+00:00Next time take ear plugs and a mask into the bath ...Next time take ear plugs and a mask into the bath with you.

There is no way to relax once you start noticing the dirt. Suddenly you start thinking the bath tub may not be all that clean either, while you were sure it was when you got into it. I only take showers, but noticed some cobwebs in the corner of the stall the last time. Yuck, who would expect that? They're easy to get rid off, of course, just turn on the power spray and voila.Irenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05043376053971475659noreply@blogger.com
