Smelly towels?
So ... my favorite set of towels seem to be really smelly recently :( :( They are old - but they're fab as they dry you really well (unlike some I have) AND dry themselves really quickly too (brilliant especially in winter time) BUT recently, I've noticed they're smelling horrid after only a couple of uses I generally use…

Re-waterproofing jackets
I came across an old Dannimac of mine last week, which is in excellent condition apart from grubby. I washed it and now wondered if there is a way to make it more water repellent/proof. I seem to remember that ironing might work, but is that a myth?

Baking with a 2 year old
I was wondering if you had any tips and recipes that I could try with DS? The obvious choice is to make cakes but I'd rather make savory things such as cheesy muffins that can be ate as part of a meal or frozen. Having never baked with DS before I'm a little nervous. I guess I'd have to prep all the ingredients first so DS…

Tarragon Vinegar?
Hello, I am trying a new recipe on Thursday, which requires tarragon vinegar. I have never heard of it and I have tried Morrison's and Sainsbury's but no joy. I've bought some fresh tarragon but didn't know if anyone knows where I can buy this vinegar from, or how to make it myself. Many thanks.
