I found fresh ginger in the supermarket, but it is expensive, and I don't know if or when I will use any left-over again. They do jars of ground ginger, which are much cheaper (30p). I can't see any…

No more "grape treading" duvets in the bathtub for me!
Yep, that's what I used to do. I worked out that laundromat costs plus, for me, the bus ride each way, was more expensive than buying a cheap and cheerful replacement. (If this is your only option - remember that most animal refuges are happy to take in duvets that are quartered, hemmed, and cleaned, for bedding) Washing…

Removing paint stain
Can anyone suggest a good way to remove a paint stain off a T shirt ? I read about soaking in lemon juice and letting the sun dry it out. Anyone recommend this ? I tried biotex and also used a stain remover stick before putting it in the wash but they didn't work.
