Liquitabs and children do NOT mix!

A report by the Child Accident Prevention Trust gives a stark warning about the dangers of household chemicals under the sink...and in particular, liquitabs. daily mail article

These colourful and tactile capsules are very attractive to toddlers. It would be disingenuous to suggest powders are 'safer'. Maybe it's worth parents rehousing chemicals in kid-proof containers as a precaution.

Let's Do DIY

Although my mantra is more one of DIY = "Don't Involve Yourself", I did come across a great site with lots of useful advice on DIY at http://www.lets-do-diy.com/. Now, where's my drill and hammer....?

Don't let the rain ruin your ride!

Whether you're a professional cyclist or just a keen amateur, it always pays to be ready for every weather condition, as an unexpected downpour is enough to ruin anyone's ride! Over time, cycling jerseys become dirty and worn and start to lose their water repellance, but there is an easy way to clean and protect your cycling gear using Soap Flakes and Garment Guard!

Washing your gear in Soap Flakes is gentle yet effective, so will not damage specialist fabrics or remove waterproofed layers. Simply hand wash cycling gear and outerwear in a regular solution of Soap Flakes, rinse and allow to dry.

To protect fabrics from water, simply spray liberally with Garment Guard and heat to activate the formula. Garment Guard does not leave a residue or tarnish, and causes water to simply bead off treated fabrics.
