    Not a loser..I’ve just read it…seems interesting.

    As for vinegar: I recently purchased a book with a claimed 1001 uses for vinegar…and my sister gave me another. Use that is!

    I’ve just remembered another one but must try and check it out first… not practically you understand.

    Magpie – In all honesty the blog world was very quiet yesterday. A holiday in the UK and the US, meant people were busy with ‘real’ life, while in the South of Ireland folk were dreaming about their long weekend in a few days time!
