about the dishes, when miss seagoon stayed she wanted Fairy dishwashing tablets, said they worked better , and rinse aid
here's the thing, I rinse all the gun off dishes before hand, she doesn't
I have been using eco brands that have no perfumes
I was really put off by the strong perfumes in the main brands
so you are not alone in this and not OCD, it really is unacceptable how strongly perfumed every thing is
and black cat is ok, he is still figuring things out, Bill hid and wouldn't let anyone touch him for six weeks. Now he's devoted to everyone and we to him. Black cat will be ok. As will you. 😘
Most of the time I'd rather smell the odour than the perfume.
The dishwasher threw an E4 error and won’t stop making a pumping noise even after off and on, probably overfilled due to a sensor error. Maybe flooded something internal. May not resolve and I don’t want to risk trying to repair it myself. I probably can’t sell it now and third party = warranty nightmare if it’s still valid. If it doesn’t work again I’ll dispose of it when I get time and take the loss.
I don’t know what to do with him. I’m busy cleaning but will print the posters and ask for help sticking them up. I may assemble the enclosure just to have an emergency spot ready if he gets injured or cannot stay out there, but I need to slow my roll and likely can’t keep him.
maybe just keep doing what you're doing with him
Maybe. I just find the status quo pretty stressful with the ringworm
