Free/almost free Fairtrade cotton ladies top
I have just received my order from the Catalogue company called La Redoute, for a long-sleeve top and was thrilled to see that it had a Fairtrade Cotton label in it. It does say Fairtrade cotton in the description, but I had missed that at the time. See picture and details here (if link works).…

I dont like to leave paper out to be recycled, as i dont want any of my details stolen, so my neighbour usually burns the stuff for me and uses it in the garden. Is this a good idea, or would i be better investing in a very good shredder?

Dryer Balls - (merged with Poundland offer)
:confused: Anyone used the drying balls that you put in the tumble dryer? On the instructions it says to use on your normal setting. But then claims to reduce drying time by upto25%.

I love it, love it,…

Lidl Have gone Organic!
I couldn't find a thread on this already so apologies if I missed it. I was in Lidl the other day and about 30% of their fruit and veg was organic! It was as generous a section as the Tescos which is about 5 times the size just down the road. My only concern is with how bad a shelf life Lidls fresh can have is that you…
