The Need to Clean

I'M out and about, floating around, doing my "chores" ~ which consist of picking up methadone and purchasing more Angel Delight. (Isn't life painful.) I noted the local supermarket are totally cleaned out of butterscotch flavour, which is mostly down to me. So I had to compromise and buy the (slightly) yukki(er) own brand.

I'm not that addicted to Angel Delight. I've never done more than three packets in a day. Usually I do just the one. That's 300mls of nutritious milk I'm taking in, I tell myself. Along with artificial flavourings, colours, sweeteners and a gluey conglomeration of modified potato and milk starches and sugars. Yummmmmmm!! It does whip up a treat.

Which reminds me, Own Brand "Strawberry Whipping Desert" is on sale at just 6p a pack. Added to 250mls cold milk it's a tasty treat for all the family. The local Turkish "masaj" parlour also do something similar-sounding to Strawberry Whipping Desert. But theirs costs £135. Can anyone think why...??!

But now most urgently I turn to the subject of the day: cleaning. A singularly thorough "spring" clean is in the "offing". At present my accommodation looks like Al Qaeda have nuked a pigsty. Which is not pretty, let me tell you.

My one consolation is that I can behave like the housewives in the movies, shake-rattle and rolling with the feather duster as Linguaphone "Ivrit" עברית blasts at top volume.

Yeah man: Barbra Streisand in The Way We Were learning French as she piningly awaits Robert Redford to return home ...

Does anyone know where feather dusters might be purchased these days? Perhaps Harrods might do 'em. After all, they're "never knowingly undersold". O no that's John Lewis. But Harrods used to boast they'd get you anything. Didn't they used to stock lion cubs in the pets dept.?

Anyhow I must fly. Do have a charming day y'all ..!!

Look at this trotterdonkey lion from Harrods playing in a field:



The way they were; the way we all were: young and beautiful ...

  2. You don't want a feather duster - they just waft the dust about! You need one of those that 'picks up' the dust which you can then wash off.

    You're not pregnant are you are you feel the need to spring clean? LOL

  6. JEANNIE: sorry I totally forgot to include you DUR. Yes I know it from TV in the mid-80s. It's easy to forget how Babs Streisand was "Queen of Hollywood" throughout the 1970s. Producers say as long as she sang one track somewhere in it, the film was bound to be a hit.

  7. At least being addicted to Angel Delight is better than being addicted to smack. As for your duster, get one of those 'magic' duster things, the dust clings and you can rinse it out and you can dust around your delicate things haha! I'm such a 'clean' freak.

  8. I use swifter dusters, when your done you took off the fluffy bit and toss it.

    Good luck with the house cleaning.

  9. Gleds, good luck with the cleaning. I am not a duster expert. One of our best $$ were spend on a maid.

  10. BAINO: You been watching too much Harry Potter? ... magic dusters? you serious?

    Actually I think I may have heard of them. They use static to stick to it ... but then how do you unstick except by sticking your fingers in mains electricity? ... sorry my grasp of the laws of physics is fairly rudimentary but surely you un-electric things by means of a superior electric charge ..??

    JANICE: I don't really need a duster. It was just an entertaining turn of phrase I came up with. A mop is far more appropriate. Considering I have laminate flooring. An extremely thorough mopping is definitely in order ...

    SYD: a maid? You serious? How d'you get one for $5??

  11. A little off topic, Guys... I have a question. Today I trapped on this site:
    [url=http://www.rivalspot.com]Rivalspot.com - Ps3 Live Tournaments[/url]
    They say you can play online NCAA Basketball game tournaments on any console for cash... had anyone tried that before? Looks like a cool idea...
    Are there any other sites where you can play sports games for real moneys? I Googled and found only Bringit.com and Worldgaming.com but it looks these guys don't specialize in sport gamez. Any suggestions?
