Re: Self sufficientish Toilet Paper
No I don't mind Susie :hugish: We use a mixture of the fluffy stuff and bum wipes which are basically just cut up towels that I bias taped lovingly :lol: to stop the towels fraying.

A natural deodorant that really works.
I have been experimenting over the past three or so years with many products which are as close to nature as possible, but deodorant has always been one of those that I have been disappointed by until now.......drum roll. I came across this out in blogland and as I already had all the ingredients I ...

Re: Fastest ever ...
Well I'm not into home brew but as I have a packet of Yeast nutrient I picked up for 50p and a cupboard FULL of fruit teas, all I need is the B1 tablets and I think I will give this a go, especially as alcohol is getting to the point where it's just out of our price bracket now ( I know that's a laz...

Re: Month One
I have no self imposed rules for this year, as I tend to find myself impelled to break them once set. I have the usual guidelines which seem to be the same as last year - oops. :oops: Loose some weight - moderate success, it's generally heading in the right direction - ish :icon_smile: Get my garden...

Re: Weight loss group 2012
Thanks for the tips Marmalady, the main problem was that I couldn't get out to go shopping so I was using things that I already had available to me. I'm also trying to tighten the financial belt too, so was determined to use things I already had rather than go and buy more. I find so often that tryi...

Re: Weight loss group 2012

Add to that the warming c...

Re: Chickens of Fire
I was just thinking rather foolishly that even chickens could look quite graceful with the right music but then they had that big fat brown chicken running straight at the camera. I think she was even listed in the credits as Peggy

Re: what's going on
Well I almost cursed out loud last night walking through a certain supermarket which begins with 'S' and ends in 'buries' on my way to clock in for another exciting shift :shock: They seem to have now replaced most of their sensible clothing with bikinis and summer school dresses. Just unbelievable!...
