I wanted to try my hand at throwing a pot so recycled my old music centre turntable into a potters wheel. Covered the base of the unit with plastic sheeting leaving just the turntable visible two large plastic deep dinner plates stuck together on the bases then stuck onto the turntable. Works really...

Play Hide and Seek in the dark each evening......it takes ages and everyone ends up laughing. Great fun !

I discovered this was possible recently when cleaning the loo !! You might already do this but if not try it If you use the type of toilet bowl cleaner which clips over the rim and consists of a liquid filled capsule connected to a plastic grill... when the capsule is empty dont buy a replacement, j...

Try googling your closest bed store, if its fairly close you could pay a visit and explain what you would like the plastic for. or wait untill a customer comes in and ask them if you could collect from their home after the mattress has been delivered !! then turn up with some eggs! go on..... all th...

Hi kate egg, i used broad headed drawing pins which have held really well through the gales today, and have attached it to the outside of the run. I think youre right, the residents would definately think theyd discovered a new game !!!

Yes they are large sheets and heavy duty plastic which hopefully will stand up to winter gales . I suppose it could be used to make cloches or greenhouse panels.

Our chicken run has plastic corrugated roofing but during wet and windy weather the rain can still blow in and make the floor muddy. Today I cut the polythene covering from a new double mattress and pinned to fit two panels of the run. As the sheeting is 6'6 x4'6 it has worked brilliantly, and cost ...

Llona ....You are so creative . I loved the handbag , a brilliant way of turning something old into something new. Madly thinking now of ways for you to use your cat food pouches , I have never thought of keeping those before, but you're right, they are quiite attractive pictures. Maybe you could us...

Thanks for all your encouragement. Llona, I've never really tried "proper dressmaking" apart from the compulsory apron which we had to make at school, which was pretty disastrous! I think I probably wouldnt enjoy it so much as i prefer working on a smaller scale plus would need large area ...

Thanks for looking.... i learned now how to put on pictures ....think theyre a bit small but anyway so here goes.... . http://s399.photobucket.com/albums/pp77/pamanna/th_IMG_0625.jpg Starting to cut the jumper size 0-3 months http://s399.photobucket.com/albums/pp77/pamanna/th_IMG_0628.jpg More cutti...

I get great satisfaction from transforming something old into something new. One of my favourite hobbies is changing baby clothes into dolls clothes. Most newborn clothing is hardly worn and therefore mostly good as new. I cut and adapt one or two items and make a new one to fit the popular baby dol...

Thanks for all your helpful replies. My hens normally have around an hour and half free ranging in afternoon but not since last saturday,as i havnt been around to let them out this week. I gave them the yoghurt yesterday and today and also cider vinegar in the water and wait to see if that has any e...

All three of my hens have got the runs.very dark green / almost black. I stopped feeding greens and giving only pellets but this is still happening for 5 days now. Nightime poos are mostly more solid . Otherwise they seem fine and always ready to eat. They are in a fixed run 10 x 6 and the ground is...
