You always seem to have excellent solutions on your blog. I bought a shirt for my daughter, it is cotton with a print. I have washed it twice and it was fine (no Dryer). Now for some weird reason it has a very strong glue-like smell to it. Tried washing it...soaking it in detergent with vinegar and washing soda. Line dried it. Still is stinky. She really loves it and I would love to get it stink-free. <br />Any suggestions would be appreciated. I did read that formaldehyde is used in clothing to keep the fabric nice. UGH!

I wrote a list of the items I needed and stuck to it. I'm hoping to get my grocery budget down to $500 next month.<br /><br />My mother in law is very unwell at the moment so my DH is spending the day with her. I'm going to make some yummy treats for my family (even though I don't have to today, I like cooking for them). My DD is at work so I'm going to make home made pizzas for dinner and I'm even going to try making my own sauce. I'll also be making DH some shortbread to cheer him up.<br /><br />My other savings this week were just normal things I do each day but we did have one freezer meal this week.<br /><br />Have a great week.<br /><br />Deb<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7122163157306498894.post-8551271380501939042019-05-12T04:19:14.284+10:002019-05-12T04:19:14.284+10:00That is a fruit I have never seen.That is a fruit I have never seen.Out My windowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13456481267171643227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7122163157306498894.post-89598279020488077792019-05-12T01:37:56.008+10:002019-05-12T01:37:56.008+10:00I have never had a feijoa before.

Lucy keep boxes marked "Size 3" "Size 4" etc and when she is ready for the next size she opens that box. This is good and she soon sees what she has and what she needs. I look out all the time. I also found a velvet navy blue little english coat. So gorgeous. Love hunting! I had a really good week with a mixture of savings and getting ahead. Truly blessed (and busy!) Have a wonderful Mothers day! xxxAnnabelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09027539528156492413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7122163157306498894.post-66787838967883670282019-05-11T08:52:03.694+10:002019-05-11T08:52:03.694+10:00Hi Wendy, thanks for sharing.

I've just finished up my first batch of miracle spray. I have plenty of ingredients to make more. I have a good stockpile (10kgs) of omo bought at half price. The only cleaning item I bought this week, at Aldi was liquid soap that I mix with water to put in my foam pump bottles. In a 1ltr bottle of liquid soap for $2.75, I get 10 refills for the pumps and that's 27.5 cents per refill. I remember seeing your tips for this when you were on ACA all those years ago. I wish I could find that footage, it's not on YouTube:( but all your great tips are contained here in your blog. <br />It is getting cooler up here in Qld, and I'm loving it! Lots of baking and cooking to do. I've been making individual chicken, leek and veggie pies. I serve them with mash. Theyre a bit labour intensive but so tasty and economical. Your sausage rolls look like a perfect winter snack. They've been added to my baking list. Yum! Winter is here...YAY! Have a lovely week.

I need to give them a try. We are having houseguests in June and one is vegan. I think I could probably use a hard vegan margarine rather than butter which would give him something sweet to eat.Anne in the kitchenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01533249631969001657noreply@blogger.com
