old-style decorating?
The walls in my flat are a sort of cream/magnolia colour (they were painted like that when we moved in) and I was wondering whether there's a money-saving way of decorating them.

Leftover veg from roast
I have a marge tub full of lo veg and roast potatoes. I remember recently someone (I think it was Jackie O?) Saying they make patties with lo veg. Is it just matter of mashing the veg together and shaping and frying or do it need to add anything for them to bind? Thanks in advance!
