Sandra, Bob says as it in his nature to be helpful that he will be more than pleased to lend you a paw, nose and waggly tail to help out come spring cleaning time.

(Hah! Naturally helpful!! I think it's more your promise of treats and playtime that's tempting him!)
Chris, I was eyeballing your cleaning products, wondering what's "new" across the pond...we have "Dreft" here but what's "Percil?"
It is a brand of soap powder (laundry soap I think you call it?) Actually, there isn't actually any Persil powder in that tin. There was originally, a long time ago, nowadays I just buy the supermarket own brand of automatic washer powder, or whatever brand is on offer, and empty the box contents into the tin, keeps it dry. Come to think of it, I could do with getting something similar for the Dreft handwash powder.
