Easy Iron Fabric Conditioner

Challenge? Lunch (& dinner if poss) meals for those watching that weight...
I erm... went on an activity holiday. It was quite nice, but I ate far too many meals out and blew my budget not so much out of the water, but into space. Add to that I jumped onto one of those spangly weight-!!!-height-and-fat measuring machines and I'm looking at about 12% of my body weight being fat (not abnormal) and…

Purple marks on kitchen floor
My kitchen floor is lino that looks exactly like a fashionable wooden floor (you know the sort I mean - it looks like thin strips of light wood) I've had a couple of Sainsbury's bags on the floor for several weeks (long story - don't ask!) Somehow the recycle logo and some of the text has transferred from the bag to the…

Can you recommend an oven thermometer?
Hi, the temperature markings on my oven have almost worn off, so soon I won't know what temperature my oven is on, also I don't think it's accurate anyway. Can anyone recommend an oven thermometer? I had one before but it was worse than useless. Thanks, soba

Shortening shirt sleeves
I get most of my shirts from charity shops for around £4, but the sleeves are always about 2-3 inches too long. I've tried those sleeve garter things but find them a bit uncomfortable. Alterations tailors charge at least £8 to shorten sleeves which hardly seems worth it. I wondered if anybody knew of a simple method of…
