CRAIGY were the seals holding after you'd put them through the water bath treatment? You should have been able to loosen the clip/metal band and the glass lid should have sealed itself and the ring to the jar with a vacuum. If the rubber seals don't seal, it lets air in and the contents can ferment and rot, such a pity as it's lots of work to get them prepared and processed isn't it? Rotten luck pet, Lyn xxx.

I don't think you'd get that information even under extreme torture, not even if you sent her to London and force fed her Kale.

Hey Mar, well done!

Well that's the start of it... Sunday baths for myself and wash downs the rest of the week. I figured I wasting too much water/gas/elect (lighting laying in there!) with my daily bathing/showering habits. So no more luxury - basic hygiene from now on. DH isn't joining me but promises to have more puddle like baths so...

Off now to find a product that washes hair and skin. I'd like 1 product that is low in nasty chemicals. I use so much in the way of household items/homemade beauty products but really want to lower it further.

Also thinking of investing in a menstrual mooncup. I should get my money back after 5 months and no waste/need to source sanitary products.

It definitely feels like the time to step my efforts up. I still consume more than I'd like.

I use it for bubblebath,shampoo,put it on one of those 2 sided sponges rough/smooth and use it as soap and also fill hand soap dispenser up with it nice and gentle and I am sure it still quite cheap hth. moon cups, I hated them couldn get the knack....nuff said lol
