Hi mylotters, Well last night my little boy was off to my ex'x house, for the next couple of weeks.. Last night I felt rather lonely.. First time in years that I have been home by myself; either had my son, my other half, other family or friends with me...Well thats over, loving it!! When you are cleaning your house with men and/or children in the house... You can have an area completely cleaned up top to bottom.. white glove clean.. then turn around to do one thing and turn back around and said, I JUST CLEANED THAT!! A couple months ago I moved into my own place, it had been siting empty for over six months so there is a lot of dust and spider webs that need attention! Now I can get all of my cleaning project done... And even take a break without anything being moved so I can not find it later...LOL Right now its break time, having some left overs, and go go juice.. coffee With my cleaning I learned something new today... You know all of those mystery black strecks that you get on your white walls; and nothing seems to get them off.. I found a solution.. well my god mother told me that it was good for crayon mark.. The magic eraser from Mr Clean... Just takes water, and very little elbow grease... and the sponge or what ever you want to call it lasts quite awhile.. depending on the cleaning job.. well I am fixing on doing my whole house top to bottom.. so next week I will proably have to get to the store to get more... Just thought I would tell you all about my little discovery.. cuz I know whats it is like to have these marks on the walls.. Me personally it bugs the crap out of me!!! Especially when I can not get the damn spot off... Well off to check a couple other things on here then back to it... Have a great weekend fellow mylotters

Sounds as if you are on a roll! I love being alone in my place too...it is rare. Actually at this point, it is just me and one of my girls still here...it's nice. I have used those magic sponges also and yes...they do work well. Another trick for crayon is toothpaste....works like magic...try it. For ink...hairspray. Well, good luck with the cleaning and I hope you are listening to some good tunes as you go!

Oh yeah have the tunes going and singing just to help pass the time!! Wow did not know about the toothpaste trick going to have to try that.. If not I will have to go get some hair spray, do not use it for my hair but I would definitely try it on the ink that I found.. But it was there when I moved in...

oh yes...just get a can of the cheap stuff..aquanet or something. Spray it on and let it set a minute or so and you can see it just dissolving the ink like magic.

I live alone in a shack at the back of my brother's house and I have a computer with internet connection. My family has since moved back to my city but we are too poor to live in one house together. I am hoping to make an income from the internet.

I am sorry to hear that your family is too poor to live together.. I have believe that if there is a will there is always a way.. It just does not always come right away, so keep trying.. One day your family will all live together.. Just keep up your faith
