Brilliant GN Recommendations! ?

Re the eyebrow thing. I was blonde am now grey/silver. What colour ? I got one from Boots but it just looks brown and very fake !

Yes, I’ve picked up lots of tips - it’s one of the best things about Gransnet.
One that sticks in my head was Ellianne saying she uses ink remover to get fly mess off duvets (the little black marks), which really works.
Another really useful one was from a number of contributors on how to print from your iPad, which I’ve now mastered, and is so useful.

One was for removing burnt jam/ marmalade off my Marlene pan which I had never thought to get clean again. This involved boiling vinegar in the pan and then adding bicarbonate when it cooled. It works. Mega thanks to poster.

My most-used item recommended on GN is the Zyliss easy pull manual food processor, great for small quantities.

Next favourite is the onion comb, then soup maker.

Also many thanks to the several plant identifiers, more accurate than an app!

I’d definitely try the blonde glimmerstick if I were you.
It’s more of a light taupe, no yellow tones.
I also bought the light brown one, but there’s little difference between the two.
Only £3.50!
And while you are the Avon website, buy yourself some perfume! Cheap as chips, but some of their smells are fabulous.

As long as they don’t smell like chips….

That’s a shame

Duolingo, I can't remember who mentioned it, but thank you very much to that person. I'd never heard of it before, now I use that site practically every day.

Shysal I bought a Zyliss easy pull manual food processor after reading your post. It’s wonderful, especially if, like me, onions sting your eyes. Thank you for the recommendation.

FannyCornforth I’m still using Rosy Glow. Excellent product!

Karacher window washer was one I bought and really like .

To the member who suggested wiping your stainless steel hob with cooking oil after cleaning it - a big thank you. When I read the tip I thought never, it was counter intuitive, but having found it such hard work to get rid of streaks I tried it and it worked!
Now it's a normal part of my cleaning routine.

Radio garden? Off to google!
Blossoming it’s good to hear about the Rosy Glow
They should advertise on here really!

I'm glowing rosily this morning, having used my Rosy Glow.
It is great.

I’ve just downloaded the radio garden app.
I dropped into a discussion on narcissism from a station in Pretoria!
Thank you welbeck

Any recommendations for keeping a rug in place on a carpet? Does the double sided tape work?

This is the lazy person's guide to keeping a fridge sparkling clean if you have a dishwasher.

I have a f/f, and a single fridge and a separate freezer (don't ask!) I take out a couple of glass shelves, depending on the size of the dishwasher, bring them to room T so they do not crack, put in the dishwasher on the quick wash, leave them to reach room T and voila, perfect clean glass shelving.

Woolovers is one of many brilliant GN recommendations. I wouldn’t buy my woolies anywhere else.

Poppyred Google ‘anti slip rug underlay’, it’s a thin layer a bit like interfacing. You cut it to size, just press it to the back of the rug and it will stay in place. I think Dunelm sell it, we bought some from Homebase.

Two problems I have solved:

I couldnt bend down to feed the cats, so bought a tray with a carrying handle, so I can put the tray on a table, load it up, then put it on the floor without bending.

I love my adjustable bed, but raising the back makes it impossible to reach things on the bedside cabinet. I got someone to cut a plywood inner lid for the top drawer.
Now when I put the back up, I can open the drawer and have a table for my cup of tea. I can still use the drawer.
(The stains were already on the wood and won't come off!)

Blossoming Thank you. ?

I liked the recommendation to put a cake of soap in your bed to help restless legs.
