I have planted small geraniums (pelargoniums) in troughs on my balcony. What do I do with them during the winter? I have four troughs, which is too much to bring into the house, but I'm not sure if they're hardy enough to survive outside. Do I cut them back and leave them or should I try to find a place for them inside my tiny flat?

I learned how to make soap about 25 years ago. I have not made soap since then. It seems that I remember it being fairly simple to make. I like the smell of lemon grass, & I have discovered lately how many others do as well. I'd like to find out now if it would be feasable for me to make some for Christmas presents. Any Ideas & Or hint on how to make it would be highly appreciated.

I work for a living but I earn 17,000 a year. I noticed that the boiler and radiators require replaceing and was advised that the cavity wall and roof need insurlating. I was also advised that my windows are rotten and need replacing. I cannot afford to do all this on my budget. Are there any grants in the UK that would help me saving the environment and cost. Thanks

I had a new washing machine installed and unstallers told me I had to disconnect the hot and cold hoses from the pipes as they were not allowed to, so I did this and turned the valves off. They installed the machine and it was ok until I seen steam coming out from the back of it. When I pulled out the washing machine I noticed it used the cold fill pipe only and the stop valve that was on the hot fill had been knocked out of place presumably when the machine had been put back by the installers. This had been causing the leak, which I mopped up. I assumed this was it until my downstairs neighbour came up to tell me there was water running down his wall and through his light fitting in his kitchen.
He asked me to write a letter to the company, claiming it was their fault this happened and that they should have capped the hot valve. They have written back claiming I should have capped the hot valve and they are not liable. Now my neighbour is wanting money from me. Whats my position?

I ran out of oil last night. The burner was turned on for a couple of hours before I realised there was no oil. I tried pushing the reset button on the burner but after about 10 secs it cuts out. How do I get the heating system back up and running again? It is a Worchester Bosch burner.

I have recently switched to chlorine tablets in the skimmer box (I was previously using granular chlorine in the skimmer box) and have noticed a rather large straight chlorine stain developing from one the INLETS of the pools. It comes from the inlet, down the side of the pool and the across the floor. Has anyone had the same thing? How can it be avoided? And can I do anything about it?

My friends heating system (combi boiler fired in a newly built house) is playing some crazy games.

When he turns on the hot water only, the rads fill as well. WHAT THE HELL!!!!

He's had a plumber and a heating engineer to look at it and they've both been stumped so it's nothing obvious.

Ten points for whoever solves this mystery!
