Sorry Sue, didn't see your message till too late, no more window cleaning for me now till Spring time!! lol Liz

Sue To be honest I cleaned the window straight away but left the bird till yesterday..........Hoping one of the local cats or foxes would remove it for me overnight, which of course they didn't :( Chris

Pat, thats fine by me a very good idea. Chris, Aw that sounds nasty, I wouldn't fancy cleaning that up. Sue

Day before yesterday I heard a huge BANG as if something had hit the house and it had.......... A pigeon had hit my son's bedroom window, staggered back and dropped dead in the front garden :( Not only did I have to get rid of the bird but had to clean the window which had a big 'oily' mark with feather fluff.....YUCH!!! Chris

Chrissie, You can first do Sue's and then travel to me and do mine... Hows that...OK Sue...lol. Pat

We've got grubby windows too and have just asked the window cleaner to call again soon as I can't see out of the kitchen window properly and the upstairs front ones are also thick with dust. He only came a couple of weeks ago. Angela

I have moaned all day about the windows, OH has finally taken the hint and bless him he is going to do them tomorrow. PP would you like to pop round to mine, you seem to have window cleaningr down to a tee? Sue

Vinegar and newspaper usually do a good job of cleaning windows

Seriously ladies. Have you thought about trying the things that proffessional window cleaners use. I got fed up with all that polishing years ago. Ever since I put water with a tiny drop of washing up in a liquid in a bucket. Wash the windows with a foam cloth. Then I use one of those metal handles with a rubber thing attached. They look fine and seem to stay clean longer. Chrissie x

I can beat your dirty windows. The window cleaners came round on Thusday. All they do is run a hose, with a brush on over the windows. Once the sun came out they looked worse than when they had started. I have complained.

I cant get a window cleaner for love nor money Sue! Cazxxxxxx

I was just logging off when I discovered that my culinary skills had been brought into question. Didn't you know Dawnie that I can do egg on toast too lol:)) Must go, I need a nap:) Chrissie xx

That sandy deposit gets all over, our car was covered the other morning. Wash your windows with vinegar in the water - it will help clear the grease and don't rub them or you will scratch the glass with the grit and sand, just wash it down and off, a gentle hosing helps but don't use a forceful jet or you will muck up the double glazing seal as I did once, trying to get a big dollop of bird doodah off the glass. Rub glass dry with scrunched up newspaper, then go over the outsides all one direction with a soft cloth (old bridget jones bloomers are good, or underpants!). When you clean inside, finish off in the other direction to outside and then you can see which side the streaks are on. Have fun!!!!

Hi Sue Well you have alot of choice of what to cook for chrissie as she ever only does beans on toast pmsl :) HI everyone else :) xxxxxx

The mild air has been sweeping in from Africa, so probably their dust you got!!

I must admit mine look a bit streaky, I am hopeless at windows. Sue
