Quick questions on ANYTHING (see first post for Freezing, Reheating, Slow Cooker, +)

I am needing to clean out the bottom of the fridge as the drain has become blocked - how do I unblock it (I seem to remember reading somewhere that vinegar and bicarb would do it but not sure of quantities needed)?

Hi
I have a wool coat which I managed to get fairy liquid on. I know it is great for getting rid of stains but does anyone have any tips on getting rid of it.
I have had it dry cleaned but they couldn't do anything.

Thanks in advance.

Cheers

do you mean to unblock the drain hole? i usually poke it with a cotton bud!! i think i'm right in saying don't mix vinegar and bicarb as it stops them being effective. but i may be wrong!! a vinegar and water spray is good for cleaning the fridge as it is antibacterial too.

Yeah, one is acidic and one is basic so they will cancel each other out really and prob also make a bad smell in your fridge and a big frothy mess. So I'd just use bicarb

I'm not a lover of perfume but remember many years ago using a perfume called "Memoir Cherie" and another called "Blue Grass" by Elisabeth Arden

Is there anywhere I could get hold of either of these, I do keep an eye on Ebay but they never turn up

google memoire cherie perfume

haven't looked at the links but it looks as though they are availible!

Hopefully someone can help me with this please. I have three eggs but recipe needs four. Determined not to go to the shop for 1 egg (I'll end up buying other stuff)! I seem to remember you can substitute an egg for vinegar. Is this right? and if so is it one dessert spoonful or 1 tablespoonful? (I get the two mixed up!).

I use olive oil in muffins instead of marg and they come out lovely, so I guess it would work

rach, I use melted butter in mine and they are delish! BTW, yesterday I had some broken bits of cornflakes (the end of the bag!) and I added those to the brownie mixture and they added a lovely bit of crunch so that's what I'll be doing with any leftovers in future.
