God knows where rest was, in some ones tummy me thinks.breakfast time. Nursing gives you a strong stomach. The only other cleaning disaster was recently an elderly guy decorated work with faeces. Me and another staff member donned protective gear. Unfortunately water got into Henry the hoover and Henry went "poof" and blew up. Oops. Bloody silly calling a hoover Henry.

Instead of picking up my hair spray can to keep my coif in good order, I picked up the can of Scrubbing Bubbles, and voila, my hair turned white and frothy.

This is what I fear about having a cat flap. We were gifted with a dead baby bunny on the back porch mat by our cat last night. We can at least stop him at the door with his latest acquisitions. I worry that although a cat flap means less opening up of doors to let the cats in and out, it might mean live prey being brought in. Your blog post has given me pause for thought. -Jenncoffeeontheporchwithmehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17618627688821849806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20303812.post-13893976881847005982016-08-23T21:24:39.232+00:002016-08-23T21:24:39.232+00:00Cats what are they like!

As for cleaning mistakes I once cleaned all the mirrors with Ralgex. It took weeks to get the mirrors clean and get rid of the smell.
