I use Pitrok too.
They suggest it to people who've had breast cancer because it's soooo much better for you. Lets the toxins out.
I used to have a real problem with odour in the summer, no matter what deoderant I bought nowt worked - This stuff works. I'm a complete convert

They sell it in boots - great thing to spend your points on. There's a lady on their reviews saying she had hers for 2 years before she dropped it :eek:

I have one of those crystal stones - its not a pumise but a semi transparent round stone - just wet it under tap and rub under arms. Works ok but I tend to use more in the winter - and use normal roll-ons in summer. Cost about £5 but seems never ending as I've had it for yrs. Great if you wish to avoid chemicals.

That reminds me of the half fat diet: You only eat half of what you would ordinarily eat which means you are halving your fat intake. And because it is only half the fat you can eat twice as much....?!!!

If you snap things like biscuits in half, it lets all the calories out

Have a wee in the garden, especially the compost bin. It saves 7 litres of water and is jolly good for the garden.

DH wees in the compost bin occasionally to activate it, he usually does this after walking home from the pub after a few beers (bursting and lowered inhibitions) only trouble is last time the neighbour was out in the garden getting the cat in and he narrowly avoided flashing her

Is this embarrassing?
When ordering chinese or indian takeaways (not very often as we are trying to save cash) we never order rice, noodles or naan - just the main dishes. Then I make the rice at home and get a naan bread out of the freezer.
Just as tasty and knocks up to a fiver off the takeaway bill each time.

Not embarrassing at all, it sounds very sensible to me.

Great tip for the rice and noodles but I never find shop brought naan to be anywhere near as nice as takeaway naan, which ones do you buy or do you make your own?

We have done this for years. We nearly always cook our own rice and even fries on occasion, it has saved us lots of cash over the years,
and doesn't effect the enjoyment of the meal at all.
