doonas, duvets, eiderdowns, quilts, call them what you will. They are two sheets of fabric stuffed with feathers

Did it work, Mark?  By the way, apropos of nothing at all, have you discovered HG Stainless Steel Quick Shine?  :evillaugh:

BC, what on earth are doonas?

That's so funny about the cat nip spray.

Hope the smell comes out the suit.  I'm having to get my sofa professionally cleaned this week to get rid of the rather unpleasant smell left behind by my cat!!!!!!!

Oh, poor you. I think I'd have died.  :-[  :evillaugh:

My OH once had to go to a business meet at someone's house. He yelled down the stairs from the bathroom "Can I use some of your body spritz to liven up this shirt?" I said yes and off he went.

It was only that evening when he mentioned that the cat belonging to the people he was visiting would leave him alone, that I realised I didn't have a bottle of body spritz. He was using the catnip spray...  :rofl: :rofl:

Then again, my OH has a long list of not reading bottles properly.  :evillaugh:

The embarrassing thing was just as I go near the shop, there was an overwhelming smell of rotten cabbage. When I explained about the pee, he said "yes I can smell it from here" I told him the smell was outside (something to do with the flood the other week)  :sick:

The man in the dry cleaners said he can't guarantee the smell will go and that t will only get one wash. If it was a cheapo one I would have either suggested a new one or treated it with simple 1st but its a pure wool one and only been worn a couple of times.

I'm hoping so. I had my doonas drycleaned before leaving NZ, after Ralph left, so am hoping eau de chat is gone or I might have probs with the newbies. So far so good....

I agree but M&S suits aren't exactly desireable. OH only wears one once in a blue moon and I haven't worn one since I went to a wedding almost 2 years ago  :evillaugh:

Ya never can have enough clothes!  :evillaugh:

For a man to truly understand rejection, he must first be ignored by a cat.

Dogs believe they are human. Cats believe they are God.

No amount of time can erase the memory of a good cat, and no amount of masking tape can ever totally remove his fur from your couch.

Yeah, best to tell OH! Coz once the body warms up the suit, it might start wiffing just a bit! Menue did the same thing on my bag once, not nice! Everytime I moved I caught a wiff  :sick:

OH needs a suit for a meeting on Monday but it seems willow got there before me. It has been hanging up so you can barely smell it. Should I confess or go in to the drycleaners whistling?

Maybe the smell will re-appear when its worn and heated up abit  :sick:  OOO you are awful <  :evillaugh:
