As long as it achieves the purpose of making you clean then, to my thinking, it is a success :).

The fact that you write about when things don't go as planned is great as others can learn from you as you try to sort out the problem and come up with solutions. It was good to read that Bluey had improved and can be moved closer to home. I think Annabel said Jane had had an hour and a half drive to visit him...that would get very tiring.Mariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12594244181463706442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1556636739806282968.post-18090536665270843312017-11-08T13:30:50.968+10:002017-11-08T13:30:50.968+10:00Wow!

You must give a lot of soap away, I always have the urge to make soap but I'm the only one who uses it so don't need to make it more than a few times a year. My partner doesn't use it as it doesn't usually have any fragrance & he likes smelly soap, so he has the cheap bought stuff & I have the luxurious homemade.Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02087072705140187478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1556636739806282968.post-25968397612216133932017-11-08T06:15:13.009+10:002017-11-08T06:15:13.009+10:00I love chocolate mint everything!
