We have water going down the back of the sink and it's running down the wall behind into the cupboard below .This is very complicated :)
The sink is only a gap of about an inch and half from the tiled splashback and has been set into a beechwood worktop .Over time this has started to go all grotty ,the grout is all nasty and any water that gets spashed around is running down the back of it and under the lip of the sink into the cupboard .
This usually only happens when Mr S is doing any washing up .I've tested it with a glass of water :)
My son is going to fit a new sink and worktop for us ....but ..
he's full of good intentions but we may have to wait a while ....
In the meantime is there some sort of waterproof tape that I can buy to shore up this gap pro tem.

Hi all. Arrived safe in the South. Thanks for your good wishes and prayer, Woofy, for Steady.
Robi, I know it's something to do with the 'nether regions' but not sure what the op entails. Haven't actually spoken to him yet.
It's a lovely sunny day here but very windy which is cooling. Have a good weekend Buddyfriends even Biddyfriends! everywhere.
Shaney, have you seen what one has to do these days to get a bottle of cava in Mallorca?? I do not expect her Madge to do that!!!!

Have had the house to myself for hours and it was lovely then the two of them descended!!! The lounge carpet smells of cat pee, and I just cannot afford to throw it away, any tips as to how to get rid of the small? I've hoovered and mopped it with Zotal (a farmyard disinfectant), hate it, hate it, hate it.
Me and my new size 8 (D cup) bikini from Next went swimming then I sat in a deckchair that Mr N had in the shed, this is the first time I have used it, must be the oap influence from Eastborne seafront!
hello all. We have all been asleep all day! I woke up starving so have eaten cold paella leftovers and he dogs have gone back to sleep.
Neti, have you tried a biological washing powder solution? There is some stuff called Zybax you can buy in the UK that is excellent for biological smells but its a liquid and I am not sure if you can get it in Ibiza.
Excuse me for a moment I am off to thwack B00.
Ta woofy I will look in the shops for that.
doubt you will find zybax in the shops neti.

Happy faces at Shaneytowers .Germany won .Picky drove over here all the way from Wisbech where he was working to watch it . Now that's dedication ....lol.
Actually woofy just reading all the info on Zybax has reminded me that I have under the sink a bottle of natural cleaner from USA that a friend gave me to try last time, I'd forgotten all about it, will defo try tomorrow. As we are not getting much BBC etc in the evenings, I put out an emergency sos on local FB page for a parabolic dish and lo and behold we have to collect one tomorrow from a roof, in exchange for one bottle of vino rojo! Result, if it works!!

It might have gone through onto the underlay Neti which may be why you can't get rid of the smell .Have you got underlay ?
Try bicarb of soda and leave it overnight then vacuum it .
Sheesh it's hot here .
They say horses sweat,men perspire and ladies glow .
I'm in horse mode :)
We had proper rain here with no thunder. The rain was fairly heavy but not really enough. Very warm here today.
Question Author
No rain here as yet .I wish it would to freshen the air. It's so stuffy.We usually get a nice sea breeze of an evening after a hot day but it's very still out there .
Question Author
Gawd some people get right on my clack .Have they got any other worries .
Morning all, hope you are fit and well and howdy to jno. Am fed up with getting cramp all the time in my toes and legs.

shaney we dont have underlay, we are foreign, carpet sits on tiles, carpets are still a luxury here!

Who has got on your clack now?

Off shopping in a mo, MrN at home all day gets on my clack.
yup, one minute saying women shouldn't be forced to wear a burqa and the next that they shouldn't show their fat arms...and this from a female! Its bad enough when men make comments like that.
Morning all...not hot here, just a bit clammy, until the last hour it hadn't stopped raining since yesterday tea time. Stubby, my tatty blackbird seems a lot perkier, probably had a bowl of worms for his breakfast. He's feeding babies somewhere & looked very weary these past few days...yesterday he stopped chopping up raisins for a second and gave me a look that said 'I can't do this anymore'. I know, I know.

lol shaney, are you feeling grumpy? I was yesterday. I think the rain's coming your way so strip off, let it all hang out and go dancing in it. :)
I'm off to dump my vest tops & jeans and order some tweed suits
Robinia,
age: over the hill.

Morning fashionistas

we had some more rain this morning. Shughy had to be convinced that it wasn't the beginning of thunder, floods and the end of the world generally so I went out with then and played in the rain in my jammies....kind of wishing that YKW was my neighbour!
ha ha Robi, the polite version! Can i steal it and go post it on one thread please?
