Thanks

My child has covered the bedding (sheets and doona and cover) with a full bottle of my foundation. Need some ideas in removing the stains. Can anyone help?

I have a lean-to conservatory; usual PVC windows & doors upper, and bricks lower. I would like to dismantle and re-sell or re-use rather than demolish it and cart it away.

Not bothered about the bricks, just the PVC stuff at this stage

I also have a query re. removing the marble floor tiles also on yahoo at the moment.….

I am in Battersea in London UK if anyone wants to help 

Thanks

Basically, I want to know if there is any difference in the sizing. Is it possible to easily remove panels from a non-integrated dishwasher to make it fit under a worktop? Surely no one has a dishwasher freestanding (i.e. not hidden uner a worktop) in their kitchen? Or is it the width that's different?

Mr Muscle costs £4 a time and doesn't always work. Is there a cheaper alternative that is effective in the UK?

It seems natural gas has gone up in price just as oil based products. Does that make buying gas dryers and gas cooking appliances more expensive to operate than their electric counterparts?

I have shut off stations on the controller and even closed the valve off with top hand-screws, yet they still drip! Do I have to replace the valves? I got an estimate from a local landscaper and his quote was crazy! Please tell me there is an easy and cheaper way to fix this.

Whether I buy cheap or expensive pillows, within a few months they become flat and don't support my head and neck well. Is there a trick to keeping them plump longer?

Hi,

I have a problem with the Hot water flow in my shower. All other water flow/pressure is fine throughout the house including the bathroom basin and cold water flow in the shower.

When I turn on the hot water tap in the shower, there is no water flow for about 30secs-3minutes, then it starts running and is fine.

Can anyone help diagnose what the problem might be?

Thanks.

It looks like a gnat or fruit fly. It is in Texas outdoors near water. And it bites and the bites are itchy and look like welts! Anyone know? Bugspray washes off in the pool... any other suggestions on that one? Swimming and keeping bugs away?
