Hi, I work for Clwyd Alyn Housing Association and I am always looking for new ways to motivate and keep our clients activated. Do you have any ideas that I could suggest please? We have in place a breakfast club, cook & eat nights and I already found some great ideas from your website such as how to make your own yoghurt. Do you have one for fruit gums too please?

I love to do fun activities with my son. I made this type of soft play dough with one of my Aunties some years ago, but as I was only a child myself at the time I wasnt interested in the recipie, I was only interested in playing with the finished product!!!!!! So, thank you very much for bringing a fun filled day to our half term. Sam and Ben

Lovely site to browse. I am renovating an ancient sewing machine and am just about to try your wood polish recipe using olive oil and lemon juice. Will let you know how it goes. Would be good to see an article on hypertufa pots in the gardening section. I made some years ago and they were a great success...they kept the plant roots cool.
