Monthly meal-plan and shopping
Do you have any tips for me? I try and do 'cook once eat twice' and meal planning, but still find I'm spending more than I'd like and end up going to the supermarket for lunch. I often find myself falling off the wagon at the end of the week and just having soup/chips/baked potatoes. I enjoy cooking but don't want to spend…

Laundry help!
Help please! I've bought borax and bicarb this week and see that people say both are good to use in laundry alongside powder. BUT - I usually use soda crystals - so do I put all in or just one - and if so which one's best for what? Also do I use vinegar alongside (I don't want to blow machine up)?

Lightly cooked eggs......
I know this is a silly question but what exactly does 'lightly cooked eggs' mean? In the hope of starting a family :) I need to be careful about what I eat but I love eggs - and we have chickens which doesn't help! :D I'm guessing boiled eggs and soldiers are out. But what about poached eggs or scrambled? Does it just mean…
