Another use for.....
I finished a roll of wrapping paper today and was left with a (quite sturdy) thick cardboard roll. I hate throwing stuff away so I'm going to chop it up and use it to sew seeds in. The cardboard will eventually disintegrate. I also cut up plastic milk containers to use as scoops for pet/bird food. Anything else?

Cleaning Converse trainers advice
I hope this is the right place to post, wasn't quite sure. My son has been given a pair of new converse trainers, I think they were 'ex-shop display' as one of them is a very different colour. The rubber toe and edges around the shoe are a really bright yellow/orange. I'm trying to find out if there is an 'old style'…

Afternoon all :) Not sure if this is the right place, but I'm sure somebody will tell me if it isn't ... If I need to buy anything online, I go via TopCashback, and if I buy something from Ebay as a BIN, I get my 1% or whatever it is in due course, which is all fine and dandy. But what I now want to know is - how do you…

Freecycle etiquette
I am using freecyle to give away items which the charity shop will not take. I am new to freecycle and was hoping there might be some freecycle experts here who can advise me.
