The TV advert says "Washing machines live longer with______" well, you know what but I won't give them a free advert on here. Thats what the ad-men claim but if I were to tell you that there is a product out there that costs not a lot more than a pint of milk that can not only keep your machine free of limescale and will save you money by replacing half of your washing powder/tablets usage and doing damn near all of your household cleansing I bet you'd be interested?
You are? excellent then let me continue, Soda Crystals have been around for donkeys years but largely overlooked, at fifty four pence, yes thats 54p for 1kg bag they can save you a few thrifty pounds of your hard earnt, plus they are a Jack of all trades. Added to your wash in the detergent/powder compartment with just one tablet or half the powder it'll make your budget stretch. Adding the crystals makes a box of thirty six tablets go twice the distance and the crystals will keep your machine sparkling clean from the dreaded limescale. It can also clean ovenware and will clear gunged up sinks, pipes and drains, a diluted solution will clean floor and wall tiles, windows, mirrors, upvc window and doorframes, ovens, grillpans, kitchen worktops and even some metals and jewellery........ hang on I can't catch my breath.........so there you have it why waste £s and £s buying a different product for every cleaning scenario when all you need is Soda Crystals? Not all supermarkets stock them but Tesco and Waitrose do and if you're in Southsea then Robert Dyas have them too.
Next up, if you have a garden or outside space why not grow your own spuds and other vegetables? easily achieved in a garden with soil but also if you only have a patio or balcony, you can grow potatoes in a potato planter or cheaper still a large bag of compost will do the job, and I can guarantee you will enjoy the experience of growing and eating your own produce, go to the BBC website for more information. http://www.bbc.co.uk/gardening/grow_your_own/
Make your own birthday cards for your friends and family. I know what you're thinking "how tight is that?" well before I go any further let me tell that the greetings card market is worth £1.3bn annually. Thats more than the tea and coffee markets, 85% per cent of all cards are sent by women and each person sends on average 55 cards per year. A decent card, one with a nice picture or an intricate design will cost anything between three and six pounds each.Card is very cheap to buy from a handicraft shop and you can cut and paste in the traditional Blue Peter style with proper glue and pictures from magazines or the new fangled way from the internet and print it before cutting and creating your own truly individual cards. Photos of football players, club badges or pictures of the recipient and friends, flowers, exotic places you name it. Believe me a hand made card, to the recipient doesn't come across as cheap or tight-it actually means something special to receive one you know that your friend took the time, their own time to create something that will be unique, fitting and made with love.
