I Need Eco/Frugal Cleaning Help

Author Nicki CawoodPosted on 10 Comments

I have to say I am deeply ashamed of myself. Yesterday, feeling the urge to have a right good domestic duty day I cleaned out my cleaning cupboard.

Now I usually refer to myself as something of a frugal Mum… well I may be in some areas but the cleaning department isn’t one of them! How have I accrued so many products? And worst still, so many of the SAME product! It gets even worse, as two of those washing up liquids are clearly half used. I had to throw some products out as they were way past their best which is such a waste!

I am currently seeking advice regarding my obvious sponge scourer obsession, and have now decluttered my undersink area. Ashamed does not even begin to sum it up!

I used to be more cleaning savvy, Stardrops was my best friend and somehow I’ve now fallen into the trap of 101 cleaners for different areas. I need help to properly turn around my cleaning / laundry wastage so call upon three people I hope will be able to comment and help me….

As well as these lovelies I’m hoping that you will have your own hints and tip – if so…. please share!!

So What Did He Choose For My Gift?

Author Nicki CawoodPosted on 3 Comments

Last week my panicked Husband put a plea out on here looking for inspiration for a Valentine’s gift. There was an overwhelming response (see the comments!) and he was hard-pushed to choose I think but choose he did and I was chuffed to pieces to receive…………..

from the fantastic SeaSparkle!

SeaSparkle sell their own handmade jewellery using genuine sea glass collected from the Devon & Cornwall coastline, which is cast in fine silver. Every piece is unique because of the natural materials used so as well as pieces that are already made up they welcome custom orders.

The earrings came in a lovely giftbox and with a fab heart-shaped chocolate in honour of the Valentine’s theme (I was very good, I got all the way to 3pm before I couldn’t wait any longer and scoffed it!).

To contact / find out more about SeaSparkle you can visit their Facebook page, website or on Twitter ( @seasparkle_x ). Gorgeous earrings, fab service and a husband with many brownie points!

Thanks all who answered Roy’s plea – it turned out so well I think I could encourage him to do the same for our anniversary in June 🙂
