House smells of Dog Wee but can't find it?
Aaaaaaaaaah! I'm fostering dogs for an animal charity - some of which are ex-breeders who have never known life in a home before and are not house trained. For the first few days/until I'm pretty sure they are house trained, they have the run of the kitchen and garden. However, we have had a couple of accidents on the…

Stoning Cherries
I bought somes cherries that were reduced in Sainsburys with the idea of eating them as I love cherries but thought it might be nicer to maybe put them in a cake. Are cherries quite easy to get the stone out of as I don't really want to spend loads of time trying to get the stone out and making a mess of the cherry? Also I…

What's the Deal with MSG?

Oil on bedlinen
Ok, this is fairly horrible, but it can't be helped... My boyfriend is a mechanic. Being a mechanic means working with a lot of engine oil, grease and other, really black, types of dirt. That's all fine. Every night when he comes home, he has a shower. He looks and smells pretty clean. The trouble is, I think this stuff…

I just bought my first breadmaker!! A question....
Just wondered.......the recipe book I have uses butter, but I have used oil instead (weighed it out on the scales). Will this be ok? Probably should have checked before I started making it :o but my friend has one (different to mine) and hers uses oil. Can't wait to make pizza dough in it!

Sainsburys own brand Biological Washing powder.. as good as Ariel?
Just doing my shopping list at MySupermarket. Was going to buy a box of Ariel as it's on offer, but swap n save suggests the own brand basics, which is MUCH cheaper. Is is as good (bear in mind my 10 y.o. son who spills all sorts of stuff down his clothes)?
