DUPLICATED HELP! Dry-cleaners have shrunk my LK Bennett coat!
As the title says, my regular dry cleaners have shrunk the silk & linen LK Bennett coat I bought for my son's wedding last September. I was going to take it to a local dress agency to sell on, and thought it would be better freshened up beforehand as it was rather warm on the day. I picked it up today, and the hem is now…

Other Uses For Paxo Stuffing

I went into his Paypal account early in January, found all recurring payments which he had set up and cancelled them. The bank…
Large group meal ideas
Hi guys I am going to be having my family over at the weekend, and wondering what kind of things I can make. I have a slow cooker, was thinking maybe a curry, and a big bowl of rice. Any other ideas? I have recently moved into my own flat, so getting to grips with cooking, so something not too complicated, haha!! Thanks
I want my house to smell nicer!
Perhaps a strange thing to ask, but I love when I walk in to somewhere and smell the disinfectant that they have used to clean their floor, for example. I had one of those annoying air freshener jobbies which had a sensor and squirted as you can past it. But it just smelt artificial and not very nice. I do keep the place…
