Another one of those stupid questions of mine.....
..... that involves microfibre cloths this time. I've bought several microfibre cloths (could be turning into a little bit of an addiction if I'm not careful!) and I was wondering.....

Recipe for homemade baby wipes (sort of) anyone?
Um, not stricly "baby wipes" I suppose, but I'm reluctant to pay the astronomical price for Femfresh wipes and wondered if anyone knew if it was possible to make your own version of them. I spotted a post about it somewhere on the forum earlier today but can't find it now!

Different models of Kenwood Chef/Major
I am trying very hard to convince myself that I don't really need to upgrade to a Major, but the Chef that did what seemed to be huge quantities when the DSs were tiny, is striking me as a little inadequate now that they are both 6ft plus and perpetually hungry:eek: :eek: I want to batch cook so that I can have some meals…

yeast in BM?
I use dried yeast in the packets in my BM but was reading one of the freebie threads which said people were getting free yeast from supermarkets from the bakery dept. The manual says to only use fast action yeast, will it work if I use fresh yeast? Or does anyone know of a cheap way round it? I find the small packets a…

Silly question - quick replied needed!!
I'm cooking sausages for tea tonight. Trying to be a bit healthier, so was going to grill them. How long for though :confused: As I said, silly question really - but I've never grilled them before!
