Home & Garden - 8 November 2006

My house gets overloaded by clothes, mail, toys, etc..I have a hamper, but it gets full as soon as my husband comes home. He works two jobs and he has two different uniforms. I wash and wash, but I never get anywhere. I have two young children. I'm going insane with all of this clutter. Please help! I'm very tidy, but I feel like I never have anytime with my children. What is something to lighten the load. i don't like maids, because I don't trust them. My house never gets as clean as I want it to.

....Stannah Stair lift, what should I do?

We live in a tree house, rather predictably in Brazil, (which will give me another angle to work on in a minute, so bare with me) and my wife wants me to go down town more often.

I have an issue with this as the local area has overgrown with bush, being in the rain forest, and I don't enjoy organic dental floss.

How can I get her to go permanently Brazillian, clear the bush, so I can go down town whenever either of us wants anything from the shops or local bar, like a Screaming Orgasm etc. etc.

I also need advice on cleaning Hot Fish Yoghurt from the foliage as a Danone delivery aircraft spilled it's load here recently?

Can you help?

I usually just clean it with soapy wood cleaner and a cloth. How can I get it back to its original colour?

I had a company in to clean my sofa and he spilt 1 litre of water onto my laminate flooring - causing it to bubble beyond repair.
I have agreed to pay £90 towards the cost of the laminate (as it has wear and tear) and he is to pay the rest plus get it fitted professionally and remove the old flooring.

Do you think this is an acceptable deal or am I being taken for a ride??

I need to measure out 250g/8oz of salt to add to some clothes dye. Does any one have any idea what this amount of salt would be? Say half a cup full or something? I dont want to buy some scales just for this one thing!

I got a silk shirt mail order and it was wrapped arond cardboard. I do not want to use the dry cleaners because it is expensive. How do I protect the shirt and get the wrinkiles out.

Also where does anyone know of a steamer that you do not lay on clothes? One that is just used in the air? Ie not a regular iron. If yes please provide a link or a name, so I can find one.
