Hippy chick

Do you have a plastic bath? If so do you use the vinegar soln. to clean it or is it too harsh.

I too have a strong aversion to housework and this is made even worse when the odd time I get carried away and clean the bathroom still doesn't look sparkly. I have glass shower screens which would come up a treat with the vinegar but don't want to damage my bath with the soln running into it.

Not noticed any probs with the bath as yet Vikki and I use the vinegar solution for both the shower screen and the tiles on the wall all around it!

Our bath's acrylic, don't have a scooby doo, if that's any different from plastic but I should think, (and don't hold me to this), that providing you use an even weaker solution, this shouldn't harm it! I just tend to stick with the one to four part strength coz I'm too damned lazy to be making up more than one lot

Have to be honest and say that I leave the actual bath cleaning bit to hubby or any other volunteer as I can't bend down to that so reluctantly I have to supply him/them with something simple to use such as the Flash bathroom gel stuff, but that also smells lovely too so that's my one concession to me vinegar spray!

oh i've been SO tempted with plastic wine glasses (i get all excited when shopping, but get told "No, there's no more room in the car!)..i make do with my big plastic pink cups.  granted, they do hold over half the bottle at a time, but they do the job (such class!)...perhaps I should point out that were we to get some wine glasses, i wouldn't get so drunk.

Whoever said drinking & driving don't mix wasn't entirely correct. They mix, just not very well, unless you are looking at driving into a wall & not remembering it the next day, then they mix just fine.

Well you need one of my pattented electronic alarm auto-ejection seats then! Only at the moment, it seems to be suffering some sort of major malfunction...... so design might just need some more tweaking!

Well, that and the fact that my two adorable dogs tend to keep pulling the plug out - lol So well trained my boys

And we've always got vacancies for new members at our ukcs-anon group! It's not at all intimidating you'd be among friends!

And remember, that recognising you have a problem is the first step to recovery.........

It was great I did post a thread on it but I think most people missed it ( I only got 1 reply) either that or no-one wanted to talk to me .

http://www.ukcampsite.co.uk/chatter/display_topic_threads.asp?ForumID=3&TopicID=44696&PagePosition=9

Although I missed out the bit where at 1.45am sat night my 5 year old daughter announced that she felt sick and proceded to vomit luckily I managed to grab the potty we had brought for her (thankfully unused!) and she was sick in that. so 2am I am wandering though the campsite holding a potty full of sick desparately trying not to be sick myself arrive at toilets with eys watering and and retching (not good at sick!!). Luckily ALL sick in potty and none on my shiny new tent .

Not sure what brought this on although the clubhouse was incredibly smoky and also had smoke machines on the dance floor so I don't know if that upset her. She is never normally in smoky environments so is not used to it.

It hasn't put us off though! We can't wait for the week away at bank hol.

I can't see how diluted vinegar could damage a plastic wine glass?  After all, dry wines are as acidic as vinegar and they don't damage the glasses do they?  When I was a school science technician, we used to buy the most concentrated version of ethanoic acid (the acid in vinegar) that you can get (well, you can't get it, but labs can!!!) - just the fumes from that stuff can burn your airways.  It came in 2.5 litre plastic bottles.  White vinegar is great stuff and as far as I know the only things you can't use it on are things you wouldn't use water on.
