and there is a massive difference in quality... son in law's firm only deals in fresh and mainly local produce, but they also supply to loads of hotels and hospitals/care homes so manage to keep solvent.

I used to do my stairs with a brush and pan and a cleaning cloth to wipe the skirtings down as I worked my way down
It's a crying shame....peeps that could be in business and working

I would still do it that way today if I had stairs...least you get in every corner. I did my daughters hose cleaning the day of the viewing and that's how I did her stairs

Yes I'm lucky so far , although I have a sweet tooth I have avoided it ...but I know if they told me I was pre diabetic , or diabetic , I would cut things out straight away ...

Thankfully I don't eat sweet stuff, doesn't mean I couldn't get it though and I would immediately change my lifestyle. I've seen what it can do
