Help wool rug in washing machine
As per title - a kind friend put my wool ikea rug through the wash while staying in my house. I have no idea why, except that it can get quite grubby looking if not hoovered regularly.

Wax paper

soup maker
I like to take soup to work for my lunch, but as tinned soup may not be the best, I'm considering making my own. So is it worth investing in a soup maker to do it all for me or is a saucepan and a stick blender just as good?
