Not very practical

I use cider vinegar mixed with water to wash my pots and to clean the tops of my worktops, I noticed today that there are strains from where the vinegar has dried running down the kitchen drawers and cupboard doors. I feel quite upset by it but I don't want to use the standard products sold in supermarkets as the ingredients in them make me feel ill.

I clean my bath with a homemade cleaning product I make out of a mixture of liquid Castille soap, water and lemon oil. It feels clean but there are odd marks on some parts of the bath that I think it's caused. 

There are many places in my flat that need dusting and there's unused space on the bookshelves and in some cupboards. 

When I hoover I struggle to get most the dust up from the carpet I think, and tend to just focus on picking up all the visible bits on the floor instead.

Some of these things drive me nuts sometimes. Anyone else?

  • I bought a few Buffalo Mini-NAS drives - 2.5" RAID HDDs, 1TB each, 5W max power consumption - I've ripped all my CDs and DVDs to them so they're all available on the network - along with all the photos & shared files & Windows drivers in case of hardware failures/updates - all the drivers are on our network.

    All the discs are safely boxed up in the garage.

  • I have a 10tb drive for everything. I did a lot of downloading in the good old days of the internet, as well as the DVD's. I've got 2tb left after putting on all the music, films, and pdf's of comics.

    I tend to put a load of stuff on a flash drive in regards to films. So I can carry a good few films around on my keyring.

    Love the digital age for portablity!

    Vinyl's my last problem. I just can't be bothered to rip it all. That would be time consuming. I'll get around to it!
