Cut the tops of strawberries and place in a bowl and cover with glad wrap. They last so much longer and don't go mouldy.

When packing glassware or crockery, after wrapping use the kids soft toys to fill boxes to stop from moving about and it also packs some of the kids toys at the same time. When unpacking, a surprise in every box

I have begun making my own Yoghurt. I do have a Dreampot but any appropriate temperature would do. I use 9 dessert spoons of black & gold skim milk powder and 2 of yoghut mixed together in cool boiled water and leave in 1cm of hot water in the Dreampot. Leave for 8 hours. The Dreampot can be obtained from the factory in Rockhampton - Emai <gbw@dreampot.com.au. They may appreciate contact before this is published - I got the idea from them. They are a great family company!!

Old microfibre bedsocks (most bedsocks are now made from microfibre) are great for cleaning smears from doors and architraves that are otherwise clean. Use them clean & dry; just slip one on your hand and rub lightly. Some socks work better than others, so try them out and stay with your favourite.

Hi
I just wanted to pass on a computer group I belong to.
Its called FREECYCLE, the idea is you join the group in your area at no cost and if you have something you dont want you can place it on the website and offer it for free, one mans trash is another mans treasure and usualy someone will contact you wanting it.
Also if you are looking for something you can advertise, I recently picked up an old computer monitor for my sons computer the man I got it from didnt need it and was only to hapy to pass it on.
I also received a large ladder that a family didnt need as it was to big for them bonus to me I can now clean my gutters.
This saves our enviroment as it keeps things out of the landfill, and Ive also heard of people in large cities furnishing their whole house this way.
I get an email sent to me daily and Im always looking forward to see whats on offer.
Good Luck

No need to buy expensive nappy wipes, I use "chucks" type superwipes, cut up into small squares then used with water, they go in the nappy bucket and get used over and over. Much nicer on babies skin too! they dry in a flash hung many to one peg.

Go to Woolworths after 6pm and they sell bread, bread rolls and other items at a reduced price.

When the xmas sales are on I look for the wrapping paper that could be used for other occassions. Many times 3 roll packets have at least 1 and often 2 patterns in a pack that can be used all year round. Espeically for adult gifts, who tend to worry less about the pattern on paper.
