breaking the mould - new ideas

Julie, don't worry about wearing old clothes, might as well get the use out of them. I moved into my house 11 years ago, I looked in the loft for the first time about 5 years ago, I was amazed, six black bin bags of ladies clothes, all in my size. I think what had happened was the previous occupier was a widower, his wife died some years before, he had bagged her clothes up presumably intending them to go to a charity shop I would guess. I kept about half of them, giving the rest to a charity shop. Doubled my wardrobe overnight

When my children were young they wore 'hand-me-downs'.
Now they've left home I wear the 'hand-me-ups' they left behind.

I visit the hens every morning wearing my mother-in-law's dressing gown, which I inherited 6 years ago.

I've been looking for castor oil, can't find any. Booooots don't stock it, Holllllandandbarrrrrett don't stock it, not in sooooooperdrug or other cut price shops, might try a local chemist next.

Hi Ilona - Have just managed to buy some castor oil.....from Booooots!!!! Thought you may be able to try another branch ? (it was behind the pharmacy counter bit). It was only just over £1.

Thanks for that p.penn. I spoke to the pharmacy assistant at my Scunny branch and he said they had stopped keeping it, so I will try another branch.

You know this sun flower "seed" oil, is it just the normal sun flower oil. I'd hate to be doing my face with the wrong stuff. lol
