Now that does sound lovely! Quite often the most simplest is really the best!

Just wanted to share this, we visited B & Q today as they are giving 25% off all plants, and we are creating a brand new bed in our garden, so it was a great opportunity. But here is my bargain, I am so thrilled, they had a tree fern for sale and it was only £24.00 !!!! Granted not the biggest t...

Wehave just been out this morning & bought a huge load of plants today from B & Q, they are giving 25% off all until tomorrow. (Monday) Lady's Mantle love moist soil and spread quite well too, and they look so pretty when it has rained and the drops collect on their leaves, I love them, I ma...

I have just posted a recipe on how to make lip balms, on my blog, so here is the very short version. Lip Balms are really easy to make and make great presents too, (thinking December) and actually work out far more cheaply, and you can also create to your own personal preference.

Just wanted to mention a pure natural mineral called Rhassoul Clay, it is used for replacing shampoo's and soaps, as it is fantastic for cleansing hair as well as your whole body.

A good and natural fabric condtioner is this:

mix equal amounts of water with vinegar, and bicarb of soda, (it will fizz when you add the vinegar and soda) then simply pour into a bottle.

To use add roughly a quarter of a cupful to your wash.

Citric Acid Descale your kettles, coffee machines, baby bottle warmers, sterilisers, I use 10g of citric (1 tablespoon more or less) to 200ml of water and leave for around 20mins. I prefer it to vinegar, as vinegar takes a while to work, but citric is fast reacting! Clean off water marks on shower d...

Many thanks, just had a look and one seems to be promising.

I never thought of 'googling' it!!!!

Thanks very much, off to take a look now.

Many thanks

I haven't tried an actual shampoo soap, which one do your make? I have used my honey and beeswax soap for my hair as well as everywhere else. For pressies, you can wrap things in really nice fabrics, or re cycle packaging, my husband gets fed up with opening cupboards and drawers and finding boxes s...

Hi Apologies if this is sooooooooo simple, but how do I change my signature for this forum? I have gone through the User Control Panel and can change my profile, but I have changed the website that I want to have at the bottom of my messages etc and it keeps posting the old one! I did try to search ...

Hi I would definitly recommend to anybody to make their own soap as against the melt and pour, only because the 'real' soap is fabulous and is full of natural ingredients and chemical free! I made a 1 Kilo Loaf Soap of Goats Milk and Honey and it is fantastic, the softest and gentiliest soap full of...

Hi When in Spain, my spanish friends gave me a jar of 'Tomatoe Jam' last year, and it was fabulous, infact if they had not told me, I would never have guesssed it was made from tomatoes, it was so sweet and yummy. This year in spain, we have a fabulous crop of our own tomatoes, and I would love to m...

Hi, well making your own is certainly a lot of fun, I have been doing this for a number of years now and I am completely hooked.
