The people who said to put this in a skip deserve a good smacking.

It's lovely, and with care it can last for generations- maybe not in the same family, but what matters is that it is loved and put...

I just wonder why the plastic bags you get in Dunnes, Tesco etc have to be of such poor quality. More often then not, they break after one use. I don't mind paying if they can be used more than once,...

By shaving foam do you mean textile foamwash? Because Tesco has a spray can with textile wash. It's kept with their car stuff, but obviously works just as well on all furniture. I've used it on both...

No good

I've lived in rented accommodation with two different washer/dryers. They were utterly useless! As some previous posters say, they don't get the clothes dry, just warm. I'm sure the ones where I...
