I use baking soda with a couple drops of dish liquid. It works really well and doesn't bleach or fog up dishes.

Yes, even TV ones. Didn't cry at my own though; I was too caught up in it all.

Thank you all so much for your great ideas! I really love the idea of the quilt but unfortunately there is only one somewhat crafty person in our families :(

Great toy ideas as well, and books...

I think my mother went through the same thing :) There are boxes full of our old toys in the garage and we had a LOT of toys. Too many. I've got a kid now but I don't want him to have them all. Just...

I'd really appreciate any ideas you folks might have about this; I'm getting myself all anxious thinking about it!

My husband & I have just had our first child and I can already envisage the piles...

I think part of the poor-nutrition problem has to do with overanalysing foods and relying on science rather than intuition when it comes to what we eat. The abundance of cheap, processed, food-like...

There's a lot of "I seen/done" and "I have went" in my part of the world. I didn't grow up here so it stands out like a sore thumb to me. Drives me up the wall. Even the most educated and influential...

Yeah, as Ishbel said, virtually everyone here has one. I've never seen a stovetop one outside of my grandmother's house - she lives in the US.

My parents bought a cheapo plastic one from a...

Ishbel - who are the LOL people?

^ yes, the Catalans are paying a lot of attention to what's happening here.

I didn't think the remainder of the UK & NI (if Scotland became independent) had plans to leave the EU, not even with recent UKIP gains. Depends who comes into power in the 2015 general election...

I live in Scotland too & still don't know which way to vote.Maybe I'm just very skeptical, but I can't foresee any significant positive changes either way simply because whichever way it goes we're...

Affix a knife magnet to your wall under the cabinets et voila! :)

On our counter we have 2 wooden chopping boards leaning against the wall, a kettle, a knife block (we rent and can't drill holes...

^ Waiting for public transport & riding on it certainly results in a higher number of interesting interactions with people. I often help out elderly folks when they can't see the number of the bus...

I agree that there's a lot of Pinterest-style/aspirational content on there, but if you skip the "real weddings" articles and just focus on the advice/social commentary articles, it's a good...

We got married last year and our parents offered to split the catering bill between themselves (£350 each). We wouldn't have wanted them to contribute any more than that! However, my sister-in-law...

You're welcome, Marion.

We used these ones: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Procter-Pest-Stop-Clothes-Moth-Trap/dp/B000LNGS1G They are sticky and use pheromones. They didn't seem to attract any new moths,...

I don't even own that many shoes!

I know a lot of women who will buy a new pair of shoes (and a dress) for every special occasion... I can't bring myself to do that. I'm not one to stroll around...

I don't think it necessarily has to do with gender, just disposition.

DH and I both need time on our own to do our own things. I get up earlier than he does, so I get time in the mornings...

We had textile/clothes moths in our last apartment and somehow managed to bring them with us into our new one! Such a nightmare.

We put some sticky pheromone-based traps (these could be put out of...

I definitely agree with this. For example, I no longer feel guilty for eating out every so often, or when we go on a trip for a couple days. It's much less stressful than having to cart food around...

I pay £96 for a 10-week city-wide bus pass. That equates to about $66 every 4 weeks. It's expensive here compared to other European cities.

The transport system in my city isn't integrated like in...

I agree that life can be expensive for people in their 20s and 30s today. I'm only 30 now, but in my early 20s, when I was a university student, I regularly ended up with nothing in my bank account...

I did this exact thing a few weeks ago with a midwife!! She was actually reaching for my medical notes... I just tried to laugh it off! Don't feel bad; you're not alone :)

Glad to hear you're feeling better. I hope you're feeling more relaxed after such a stressful experience.
