Ain't Nobody Here Posted January 6, 2008 Author Share Posted January 6, 2008 We had the perfect snow in Edinburgh - deep enough for kids to play in for a couple of days then a big thaw and it's virtually all gone. And it was in the holidays so we didn't mind being house-bound . Bit blustery for eglu cleaning however, there's shredded paper all over the flowerbeds now .

The Dogmother Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 I've just done mine too Vicki, but it's too quaggy here to get the pressure washer out, so mine isn't anywhere near as clean as yours! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chelsea Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 I also LOVE the thought of my girlies having a fresh clean house! Hubby did ours today, bless him. And no sooner had he finished the runs my maran was in there chucking the hemcore everywhere........its like they know! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jules. Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 I'm off to do mine soon... The photos make the eglus look brand new Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 Just done mine but not that well, just fresh shreddings and a wipe over. its too hard to move the cube to do it - I find it very hard to move and its right in front of Mum's conservatory at the moment - she'll kill me if the pressure washer is used there!

gooner.girl Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 Washed all 4 grubs and glugs up today - took ages to get them shiny clean - the ducks in particular was covered with mud... Also did the ducks pond - thats a horrible job to do but they LOVE it when its clean and clear, they duck under water til you see 4 backsides in the air, is very cute! Then they have a good clean, then use it as a race track and zoom round and round (its only small!) We can hear them splashing from inside the house and the water goes everywhere!
