    Any tips for making my bin smell sweet, it currently makes me want to vomit:rolleyes:

    I put a piece of kitchen roll with a couple of drops of lavender oil in the bottom once it's clean.

    When I was cleaning out the undersink cupboard yesterday I found some soda crystals I bought last year - any ideas what I do with them?:o

    If you use washing powder mix the soda crystals in with it to make it stretch. Makes clothes lovely and soft.

    A lovely day here again so will definately get in the garden later. Its quite a small one so it wont take long. I have some poppies growing in this year and havent a clue where they came from. There are some other flowers as well but not sure what they are. Im not very green fingered but like looking at a nice garden.

    Ive been to the gym and Im going to see mum shortly.Will take her across to the park. So garden and flying will be tackled later.

    AnnieG, sexki11en and philsmum Welcome:wave:

    Teria Hope the hospital trip goes ok.

    Mudbath glad you and DS are feeling a bit better. Good to hear your dad can see again.

    pigpen Well done your DD2 :T
