Now its HM bread which so filling and some home-baking. However, I am loathe to throw them away. They still seem fairly crisp and I…

Sugar soap!!! just discovered how fab it is!
Sugar soap which you can get from any decorating shop or hardware store, (although i cant say i've seen it in wilkinsons) usually used for washing down walls before papering.

Does anyone know how to get shoe polish out of clothes?
Or Ralph Lauren handbags? My fiance managed to get lots of black shoe polish over my clothes and handbag. It's the kind that comes in a tube and you squeeze out a small blob. I've put my clothes to soak in cold water, but I'm not too hopeful :(

Does anyone have a recipe…

Dusty quilt problem
I've just taken the winter quilt off the top of the wardrobe and it is incredibly dusty . It won't fit in the washing machine and it is just as cheap to buy a Tesco Value one to replace it. Unfortunately, money is tighter than ever this month and i can't stretch to replacing it. What would be any suggestions for de-dusting…
