YOu can use bicarb with dried herbs crumbled in, or just use the herbs on their own. It makes the hoover bag smell nicer

I just cut my hair, i reckon it's really old style and it actually is a pretty old style. Didn't use a pudding basin though. LOL!

Never thought of that, does that work in a bagless one? which I HATE bye the way, when this one dies I'm getting one with a bag again.

Yes I suppose so - just scatter it on the carpet and hoover it up. I only do it now & again, not every day. Mainly cos I cant be assed LOL!

I just pick the herbs and lay them out on the bedroom floor in the sun CB. I always cut lemon balm, and did rosemary for years until it died last winter, and I do lavender as well.

the sun doesn't come in here very much all sadly so I can't do that, haven't got the floor space either. I thought maybe if I could do them in the micro or a warm oven it would be a solution,I thought someone here on OS might have tried it but I guess I'll have to have a google then and see what I can find

You could just 'mash' 'brew' (depending on which part of the country you come from) the dried leaves in a tea pot, like old fashioned tea leaves.

The bagged up ones would make lovely pressies though.
