Anthea Turners Household Cleaner

Pollybear

I can remember boiling water, soapflakes and tea tree oil, but I know there were one or two more ingredients. Sorry!

I was quite keen on the programme until the following happened. I was teaching my OH to fold a Tshirt Anthea style, and my 8 year old daughter rebuked me, saying that it was a thing for wives to do, not husbands.
I was stunned, that in spite of my views on equality, Anthea should have had such an effect.

Thanks for the tip wishingonastar. I will have to try taping it as I will be out on Sunday......just have to figure out how to do that as OH has set up the DVD and the number 0f remotes and buttons to press is enormous .....

Anthea also had a woman on last night whose OH just expected her to do all the housework even though they both went out to work! The main reason her house was a mess was that this woman had never delegated the housework and tried to do it all herself! Anthea suggested it was time for a chat with hubby and the rest of the family and to delegate all her tasks. The rota that this woman drew up for all her family will be something I do as soon as my two are old enough - I want them to know that looking after the house and everything in it is everybody's job...... not just for "wives"

I saw an episode about a week ago for the first time and liked it. Does anyone happen to know the days and times it is on as a summary - I'd be very grateful. I think I saw it on a Sunday and assumed it was only that evening.

thanks, sarah x

didn't she put soda crystals in as well? Was there anything else?

I've never seen the programme before but found oddly compulsive to watch. I'm trying to remember the other tips now.

I remember the one with the left over wine in the ice cubes although someone has mentioned this on here before.

Also about the stewing soft fruit and putting lavender and rosemary on bbq coals.
