Hiya Shimms, Ray... nope, can't say I have had that problem... but then, keeping the cellophane on and not getting them wet and grubby on the floors might be the answer... mine are only for show ;¬))

am only joking!! I buy the ones that are made of cloth now, and they can be chucked in the washing machine... also, I have that Flash one for the day to day stuff in the conservatory.... it has a little battery motor, dead easy to skim around and you just throw away the pad when it gets grotty!!

Love

Mummo, I always used to then I discovered the magic mop that goes into nooks and crannies which was super, this room is very large, takes ages. My back cannot take me being on my hands and knees so twas such a relief for me.

It's so old we replaced it and are on our third squeegy, I only use it once and it falls apart.

Think I'll be returning to the magic mop you 'wring' in the bucket.

Thank Heaven for Little Girls is right I think Mummo, oh poor Helen.

I once set fire to the microwave doing jacket potatoes. I was talking to a friend on the phone, caught sight of flames inside the glass door, kept saying, "Ohhhhhh, it's on fire!" She said, stop talking and put it out! wmsl

Well...............you see I was concentrating so hard on getting the pudding right I forgot all about the sauce simmering, so the sauce bubbled and the spoon fell out, then I left the pudding to rescue the spoon and the sauce so the pudding got ignored and was a bit of a disaster:( *sighs heavily*

I am the only woman I know who can't multitask!!
