He is not a believer in the old-fashioned products so we have a mix of cleaning products under our sink…

"Would you like the hanger with that, madam?"
Ladies (usually), If you're buying clothes which come on one of those hangers that has the two spring loaded clips on and you're offered the hanger - take it.

What's left has solidified into a lump and shrunk away from the sides and the top has gone whitish...looks very yukky! Best before date was Oct 05. Would it still be OK to use??

Does anyone remember the old type 'Bunny' jelly moulds? I used to have a glass and a plastic one when my kids were small, both went into the jumble over the years. I'd like to buy one again. I've been looking for some time but can't seem to find one. LL
