What has the OS Board "made" you buy??

JailhouseBabe

Well done moggins :T
I've got quite a large garden too with no OH so have to do it myself (except when I make excuses for dad to visit me - make sure he sees state of garden, he then gets to work LOL).

I'ts as much as I can do to mow the lawn and trim the hedges. Weeds and grass in border get strimmed, so pointless me planting anything there.

I do have back problems, so tend to use that as an excuse for my shabby gardens more than I can probably get away with!

Penny-Pincher!!

sorry to be nosey but do you mean you got the idea of using an airer from MATH, or is he your OH, and if so, did you 'acquire' hime on the OS board?!!!!!

Sorry to be off topic, but I'm intrigued!!!

Just to keep it on topic, can I add that OS had actually 'made' me buy more fresh fruit/veg, and I'm so pleased - not necessarily cheap, but I am now easily getting my 5-a-day!!

Stardrops, of course!!

exlibris

Whiter vinegar and Bicarb

Microfibre cloths previously used old knickers -still do for very dirty jobs can't dirty my multicoloured micros can I?

Stardrops

Jade plant

Squidgy cake "tin" Not quite sorted it yet. Left half the cake behind last time I used it.

Sprouting seeds

Must be others but that is enouogh for now. All fairly small changes but they are making a difference!

Rescued a stick blender - bought the kenwood set just for whipping cream Hope the blender saves the mess I get into when using the big blender for making soup

Hehe, I am not going to allow you to get away with that one! I have arthritis in the top of my spine, my hips, knees and hands. If I can do it anyone can, what I do is make sure I have tools with fairly long handles so I do as little bending as possible. And I have a bench nearby for regular sit downs

Humm, let me think.........

Parents bought me the BM as I loved theirs so I think they take credit for that, not this forum I'm afraid
Yogurt maker is def a result of this forum, but I asked for it for Xmas so didn't actually spend out myself
SC was a result of this forum but didn't cost me anythign as neighbours left it behind in their garden when they moved out However, I would have bought one eventually if they hadn't
Blender & kenwood chef were already owned.
Soapnuts are defiantely a resutl of this forum (& I think they are excellent so thank you), also microfibre cloths & stardrops, all of which I had never heard of beofre they wer ediscovered here. I already knew aboptu vinegar & bicarb but didn't use either very much, now have a million more uses for them thanks to you guys.
