Sea fishing
This probably isn't the right place to ask, but anyway... I know nothing about fishing but I like fish! I wondered if anyone here knows about fishing from the beach: what I'd need, whether anyone's allowed to do it, if there's a right and wrong time of day and whether I'd be likely to catch anything edible. We love going…

toilet cleaners ---refill
I'm new to these pages so I don't know if this has been mentioned yet, I use the liquid toilet cleaners that hang over the side of the bowl in a plastic container (it's so long since I bought one that I can't remember what it's called) and re-fill them with neat bleach when they are empty, works a treat.

Persil wash up liquid---use less
I know that when I use persil wash up liquid I need less to get the required suds BUT they use a bottle top with a big hole in so it's very hard not to squeeze too much out (OH squeezes it out as if it's test of strength and to keep mentioning it meant that I was in danger of him never washing up ever again or sounding…

Am I still entitled to call myself frugal?
I have done something for myself at last, but the frugal person in me is very uneasy: I have hired a cleaner! 2 to 3 hours per week to do the communal areas, kitchen bathroom, living room and hall/stairs, just enough to keep the place in a semi-hygienic state. At the moment, coming into my house is a serious health hazard!…
