I've got a supply of free shredded paper. It's for the chicken run and the used stuff composts really well! The fresh stuff is great on a bonfire. I've also ordered EHIC cards for the family (European Health Insurance Card) for our holiday. Go to NHS website. It's a short, easy form and you get the ...

The floods from a few years ago taught me a lot. With regards to washing stuff, my only problem is drying big stuff, so I'm looking fo...

Being a lab technician, I can safely say this procedure could only be done with VERY specific equipment. You would also need the precise recipe and the resulting extract should be at exactly the right pH and concentrations. One serious problem using whole animal pancreas is that most of the pancreas...

Any opportunity to learn First Aid should be taken up. Remember, YOU and YOUR FAMILY deserve to be safe. I'm the only First Aider in my family. Licence expired now but over 20 years altogether from Red Cross and St. John's with "street" experience.

A few plasters/ gauze dressing, burn gel, safety pin, saline, paper and pen. Most of the stuff I encounter is my daughter's friends falli...
