Try chucking in a bit of apple to the mix, or, if you don't fany it in the jam mix, boil some apples down, strain off the juice and add that - same can be done with rubarb or redcurrants - doesn't effect the taste, i promise!! :flower: I've never, ever used jam sugar or pectin - just normal auld gra...

Basically, I suppose, I'm saying that Homo sapiens wouldn't have got into its present position in the first place unless selfishness had been invented. See. Told you I was a cynic. Mike Didn't need to be invented. All animals are basically selfish. Eggggsactly!!!! Survival of the fittest... and in ...

I do not think people are inherently greedy, it is the system, a system evolved by a rich minority that demands a return on the capital invested, ie. the production of things essentially to make a profit, things are only produced if they make a profit . I agree with the fact that it's the 'system' ...

I don't really try to change folks ways of life or tell them much about ours unless they ask. If they ask.. then they're interested which is cool by me :flower: Sure, some people thought me a bit strange when I started making my own bread and stuff, my neighbours about had a heart attack when we mov...

Hi

The very best of luck with your project... It sounds fab! Hang on in there.. It'll be worth it in the end!

I hope it isnt I really hope everyone realises that we cant keep living like this any more and we do become selfsufficient communities and live locally. It would be lovely I think. Helen x I certainly agree with that sentiment. :thumbright: This doom thing has been floating around the net for some ...

Weellll..... Not to speak too soon..but.. there are the usual clouds... but da da da.... some blue sky moving in... could it really be!!!

Hi!

We're in Fife.... It has rained often!! But it's always a nice surprise when the sun breaks through..before the clouds pass over again!!

Anyway... Scotland looks better with a few clouds hovering around.... more atmospheric and all that!!

Maybe you could strip it down and keep all the useful bits? Buttons, trim etc. If it has springs, they can be put to all manner of uses from wobbly toy type things( think zebedee) to bottle holders etc The cotton wadding stuff can be used to keep compost warm or indeed, just composted :flower: Wooho...

Divination by way of arrows......

Ocht.. that's me oot the window then!!!!

Mind you.. I can see your point!!

Yup.. as a parent of three, I agree that second hand is the way ahead. I'd rather buy something from a charity shop or better still, freecycle/swap with friends etc than buy brand new imported items or newly manufactured stuff.. that to me just isn't that 'eco friendly' and kinda defeats the purpose...

What an absolutely gorgeous highchair! It's wonderfull! Big huge well done to you Graye

Yup - the world's gone mad and the media & ptb love shoving garbage up our noses and keeping us in fear of well.. basically everything that's not 'fake'. Soap doesn't clean unless its anti bacterial, foods not good for you unless it's been treated, prodded and tested and has a shelf life of oh.....
