I have just realised that I now have so many different savings and current accounts with different institutions that it takes for ever to keep an eye on them all. I'm a rate tart!

Empty and wash out the bin.. make it smell sweet!

Can I ask you Flypeople a question, please I have a plastic bin in my kitchen, lined with a carrier bag, which I fill with stuff for the compost bin. I empty it about twice a week, replace the liner, and wash it in hot soapy water. It still smells slightly of musty fruit peelings

Any suggestions on how to get it to smell better

TIA, Penny. x

Good Morning FellowFlyers:D :hello:

Tuesday and Wednesday list done:j:D

Valli, i shall cross all body parts available for crossing, Good Luck chuck xx

I must get a new battery for the smoke alarm will pick one up on way home from work tonight and to whoever put up that reminder Thankyou:A

DustyKitten i know what you mean about being 4 days in, the kids are having fun but i am whipped, this blooming weather has not helped at all. I have a mahoosive garden thats more like a playground and they have yet to use it. The weather is looking rather promising today so i shall be getting them out within the next hour or so!

For all of you that aren't feeling 100% big hugs to you all ((xx))

As OH is now working in this country we were going to get another car! BUT i have been very MSE and said NO lets wait as for one it will stop me going shopping when i am bored :money:so it should save me lots of money.

So far today i have spent 1 hour ironing 8am to 9am.:Tand i have done a load of washing

Plan of action

Peg out washing and reload wahsing machine with darks. This will be doing whilst i do bedroom and should be finished ready for the bedding to go in once i have done the bedroom;)


DoThursday list then finish ironing and hopefully i will be able to get all todays washing dried to iron that too when little man is asleep, as yesterday was a nightmare, i was in and out like a yoyo with the washing, in the end i put it on the airer

Holly's right. This from Reader's Digest explains:

RR4 Deodorise your rubbish bin

If something smells off in your kitchen, it’s probably emanating from your bin. Some smells linger even after you dispose of the offending bin liner, so make sure you give your bin an occasional cleaning with a wet paper towel dipped in bicarbonate of soda (wear an old pair of rubber gloves for this job). Rinse the bin out with a damp sponge, then let it dry before inserting a new bag. You can also ward off bad smells by sprinkling a bit of bicarbonate of soda into the bottom of the bin before inserting the new bag.
