My OH favourite phrase is 'its not designed for that' - his head would explode if I started using the tumble drier to polish my jewellery!

Barbara, if it wasn't for folk like us, if the entire world was composed of clones of our husbands, nothing would ever get invented!

....got any spare children hanging around??!!

I remember doing that in primarys school when I was about 5, we all poured the cream from the top of our milk bottles into a jar and took turns to shake it, then had crackers with our butter on!

As for hand made tools, I honestly don't think I have any. I need to be more resourceful!

There was a thread about this somewhere..I remember adding my post to it but I can't find it now... Anyway - my contribution to it was...

and http://www.kitiki.co.uk/shop.htm?htt....portal.ID4434 (If you can fight your way through their terrible website and get to a page you can order from!!!!)

Also some of the other pmc/acs places do it too...and I don't know if Cooksons do...but if they don't they could........
