I would definately recommend cloth nappies. You can get a really good birth to potty kit from little lambs, for around £300 - it seems like a big outlay but you'd spend that on disposables in a few months - branded ones are around £10 a pack! Also there is a thriving market in preloved nappies, I go...

You;ve made me wonder where mine has got to, I haven't seen it since last winter.

The only thing I have used it for is making irish stew, and it really was the best stew I've ever done.

Super excited - new series of Storage Wars, Swamp People and Pawn Stars this week - eeep!!

I have decided to re-read some books I haven't picked up for years - as well as adding in a few of those "I've-always-meant-to-read-that" titles. I have always been an avid reader, as a child I was never far from a book and would usually have 2 or 3 on the go at any given time, but since h...

Did it work?? About to steep mine in bleach, but would rather not if there's an alternative!

MY name is Sarah and I'm a History channel addict My favourite of all programmes is Swamp People. It follows the people who live in the swamps of Louisiana during the month-long alligator hunting season. Its absolutely fascinating. I got all over-excited today when one of the Landry family followed ...

I read all 3 on my Kindle. Once you get over the novelty value of the more "interesting" scenes, all you;re left with in between is a mediocre 21st-century Mills and Boon style romance.

Back to Agatha Christie, Ngaio Marsh and Dorothy Sayers for me - ladies who really knew how to write!

One of the contestants, Jeff, was right here in my work this time 2 years ago starring as Jean Valjean in our Summer Youth Theatre production of Les Mis

I dont really have much more to add other than I hope you start to feel better soon. I suffered from post-natal depression 2 years ago when number 2 came along and it was dreadful - I'm so glad I came out the other side after 6 or 7 months. Some days I feel the little black storm cloud hovering near...

I always sneak a spoonful of beans from the tin before I put them into the pan to heat, there's something quite deliciously naughty about eating cold beans fromt he tin

I usually keep a supply of tinned tomatos, kidney beans, chick peas, tuna and baked beans. My OH also buys tinned carrots and peas (which I dont eat, they're too soft) and tinned soup - again, not something I eat. I prefer to either have fresh veg, or frozen - but not tinned.

There is a very big car boot sale in belfast every sunday morning. It's mostly proper car booters with a few stalls that are businesses. It's worth going to fort he wee farmer that comes up every week from Armagh, he sells fruit and veg - most of the veg is from his farm or farms around him. He has ...

I have been on the lookout for a shoe hanger like that for ages now - I saw one planted up as a salad garden with tumbling toms, some herbs and all sorts of cut and come again salad leaves. I have also seen it done with strawberries.

Those look really well

I've tried it before but always ended up denting the tin - where am I going wrong? Do you need a really sharp nail?

Well, I jumped back on the slimming world bandwagon last week - third time lucky....? This time I have 3stone 3lb to lose.

I weighed in last night and have lost 4 1/2 lb in my first week.
