    nicki have pm'd you with some suggestions! Also wearing cotton/linen as opposed to polyester etc helps ...beyond me why evans sell so much with polyester!

    Indeed - its not just a "style" thing why many women head for the "natural" materials as far as possible - its for good sound practical reasons as well (one sweats a lot less).

    Natural cosmetics (or using household foodstuffs) - is because 60% of what we put on our skin heads straight through our skin into our bodies :eek: - methinks "do I really want loads of unnecessary chemicals racing round inside me and making who-knows-what 'cocktails' there?"

    Theres method in ceridwen's "madness" :D:rotfl:

    Well done Fergie :j I can still remember the joy of an interrupted nights sleep. My Mum used to have a theory that babies tend to start sleeping through the night when they hit about 10lbs in weight. I think its probably to do with the fact that they can take enough grub in the day to help them sleep all night IYSWIM?

    Hello all..I've just posted a recipe I found on a pack of wholemeal fusilli, over on the Grocery Challenge. Did you want me to write it out again here, or will you have a look-see if you're interested? I don't mind t'either way :p
    About the deo/anti-p thing..I use a mix of distilled witch hazel & water in one of those spray thingies & have done for years. Like many, I cannot use perfumed products but this leaves a lovely 'clean' smell so there's a whiff of something. I was thinking that it would be easy enough to get one of those little pump bottles that are in shops now, the size for taking on holiday, & keeping that in your handbag or whatever if you need to freshen up during times away from home. Keep your fingers crossed cuz I'm going to try add a link to the sort of thing I mean

    Oh well..it takes you to the site, but you need to scroll down to 'Plastic bottles, Jars..' bit & then scroll down again to some pretty blue pump action bottles.
    It's a site that came up when I googled pump dispensers so I've no first hand experience, but I have to say the prices look very favourable. Anyhooz, HTH.

    :rotfl::rotfl:...tis okay...we know what you mean really....:DWe're not THAT desperate for money that we're heading down the realms of THAT sorta "drugs"....

    ...the nearest I come to THAT sorta drugs is studying the websites about growing plants indoors - a lot of which seem to think one means THAT sorta drugs...I'll take the useful info. from them and sit there and blink visibly (on a good day:cool:) at the thought of anyone going in for DRUG type drugs :eek:
