Home & Garden - 20 November 2007

I have clothes laying all over my bedroom. I keep putting off putting them away because I know it will take me a long time and I get bored when I do it. Any ideas of how I can clean them up and not be bored?
I also have things laying all over my room with no place to go.
I need a way to keep everything organized and easy to find. Any ideas of how I can do this without having to buy anything (eg. storage units)?

P.S. I tried listening to music and all the normal stuff for putting away clothes.

The water level in my toilet tank is a wee bit high and seeps into the overflow tube in the middle of the tank. All the posts I'm seeing refer to adjusting the float, but I don't have a float in the tank. I have a yellow plastic contraption on the left hand side, the black overflow tube in the middle, and the flap covering the hole on the bottom.

Is this a common set up for a toilet tank? What part of this set up can be causing the water to go too high?

My sister needs a cedar tree to pick fresh cedar berries from so she can make a tea that, according to native tradition, can help with certain ailments--one of them being diabetes.

Is there anyone who may have (or know of someone who has) a cedar tree, or can send us some fresh cedar berries by mail and we'll pay for the postage + extra. Let me know please if you have any leads or if you can help. thanks!

I just bought 4 traps because I have a mouse in my kitchen terrorizing me. It runs out and runs back under the counters and stove, so I decided to put traps out. I baited them with crunch peanut butter. Is that going to work? I put a very small pinch of peanut butter on and put the traps next to the counter line and 1 behind my mixer where I saw mouse poo.

I have a combi boiler and have come to top up the pressure via the tap which is under our stair case.
The problem is that when I turn the tap nothing happens!!
The tap has not been used for around 6 months.
My boiler shows on the pressure gauge as having zero pressure.
what can I do? and why is there no water gushing through when i turn the tap on under the stairs?
Please help???!!

It's a Viatek dual technology one that uses electromagnetic and ultrasonic technology. It claims to work within the wiring of the house and protect the whole house.

I need around 10 litres of cream matt emulsion - B&Q do it in their cheap paint category but only in 2.5 litre tins - it is too expensive when you need to buy 4.

Can get Magnolia in 10 litre there but want cream.

I live in a dorm complex where I have my own room but I have to share a bathroom with 1 other person. For the first time in my life, I contracted athlete's foot and then a month later a strange rash on the sole of my right foot ever since using this tub.

I don't have the option of moving out and I'm seriously considering bombing my bathtub with bleach every other day to get rid of whatever nasty germs and diseases my roommate is spreading around the tub.
