I get so frustrated because my daughter keeps peeing in the bed and I hate trying to clean it it alsmost seems impossible.

My gas bill has nearly doubled this winter compared to last year!
If they have risen then by how much?

My wife sees no sense in it as she quite rightly states we will only be getting back into it at the end of the day. Are there any reasons based on hygeine or etiquette for making the bed?

Just want to clarify...it is perfectly legal for you, as the owner of your house, to perform your own electric work, correct? I mean, as long as you don't pull a meter or something like that. I"m talking just putting in a new breaker or two and running some new wire to hvac equipment.

I was looking at this house and there are some things that need fixed, like most older homes.
I was wondering though if like in the kitchen and above some door frames and stuff if there was a crack what does that mean.
It was built in like 1950 or so, very old.
Please give me some advice on what this might be.

My walls are a royal blue with white trim. We have a light colored hardwood floor and were thinking about getting a dark brown leather sofa with nailhead trim. I am also eyeing a red shag rug to throw into the mix. It's not a bright bright red but not burgundy either. I was thinking about bringing these three colors together but don't know if it will clash. If it doesn't, where would I begin with curtains?? Solids, stripes, dots?? I want long curtains and my husband wants more of a cabin theme but I'm not sure that will work with this color scheme. Any help is appreciated.

Whenever I iron my clothes, the clothes get a bunch of static electricity; for instance, when I hold my shirt up, the front and back will cling together. Also, the iron seems to leave marks on the shirt that are kind of white-ish and make the top layer look a little bit shiny at parts where there is a fold in the bottom layer. Are the static electricity and marks related? What should I do to get rid of them?

I currently have a cheapo "Rival SteamWave" iron and the setting is on "Cotton" or "medium high". I also dry my clothes in the dryer for 45 minutes on "low" after the washer finishes washing them. Should I dry my clothes for a shorter period of time? If so, will damp clothes smell after hanging in my closet?

I have a service contract for the furnace. Last season the furnace worked fine from the beginning of the seaon but as soon as it got really cold (-20 celcius) it stops. The technicians have changed the fuel supply line, motor... then at end of winter, start of spring it work fine. This year same thing happened. The furnace worked well up until this week but when the temperature dropped...and the furnace stops... what can the problem be? Is there an air intake that could be freezing?.. The 4 technicians that came don't seem to know what they are doing & beeing a single mom I feel they're taking me for a ride... the last tech told me to change my system. Help!

My husband went outside last night and smelled gas coming from our gas meter. We called someone right away and when they came they told there were 3 leaks at the meter. How does that happen? Someone comes by once a month to read the meter in order to bill us, why didn't they notice it?

Bits of leftover soap are never convenient to use. What practical use can be made with them instead of discarding them outright?

Hi, we need to clean our carpet before moving out of our rented flat. It is just one area in the living room by the door. This part of the carpet is where you first tred after coming in from outside, so mud and building site dust (my BF is a bricklayer) has been trodden in, as well as some other stains like apple juice. Alos, when using a cheap carpet cleaner foam, my boyfriend didn't sponge up the excess foam, so it seems to have left a whitish/yellow reside. The carpet is a dusty pink in colour (and quite old by the looks of it). We were thinking about buying a cheap steam cleaner for about £40 to do the job. Do you think this would work to get al the stains out? Also, can you add cleaning agents to steam cleaners or should you add them to the carpet? If so, what would you recommend?
Here's the cleaner we're going to buy http://www.woolworths.co.uk/ww_p2/product/index.jhtml?pid=50348724 - good as it also can steam wallpaper off of walls which we'll need for our new flat!!

Have bought the bathroom suite already (sink, bath and toilet only). How much approximately for LABOUR to fit it and re-tile from floor to ceiling, and tile the floor. I mean very rough estimate say within the nearest £500. And it's quite a small bathroom.
