| 856 | Stain remover I make up a mixture of water and dishwash liquid in a spray bottle and spray it on Fresh Stain and give it a scrub with old toothbrush. Works for me, hope it works for you guys, I use it on all clothes and never had an issue, just dont scrub it hard with the toothbrush. Then rinse it off. chonnni - 2009-02-14 20:31:00 |

Leave in a light warm place for 24 hrs and you will hve full strength vinegar. You can do this up to 3 times with the same vinegar. tumbleweeds2011 - 2009-02-16 15:22:00 |
| 862 | I am doing the relay for life in March to help raise money for the cancer society, if you dont know what the relay for life is it is a 24 hour walk a thon you get a group together and walk segments of the 24 hours good fun and a good way to raise money. 80% of all moneys raised go towards cancer research. I am asking everyone here if they will help my donation by adding to my telly, whter it be $2 or $5 if I have helped you in anyway over the past 4 years in this thread or others please be generous and give back. kob - 2009-02-19 17:15:00 |
| 863 | "Keep your receipts" ladies. For every $10 you donate to KOB for Breast Cancer Research (or any other charity), you get $3 back from the government... a really straight forward form http://www.ird.govt.nz/income-tax-individual/end-year/dch-re toadfish - 2009-02-21 14:39:00 |

| 865 | A good friend of mine had a birthday today and I have had a really quiet week at work, bearing in mind I only get paid for what I work I did a 6 hour week instead of a 15-20 Ouch, thats got to effect the wallet. So on the way home I grabbed some flax and spent a couple of hours making a bunch of flowers.... She was absolutely rapt with them and all it took was time - no money! http://images.trademe.co.nz/photoserver/18/87837218_full.jpg toadfish - 2009-02-27 17:57:00 |

| 868 | went to see Slumdog millionare last night.. talk about a bargain, we had 2 free tickets & popcorn because of our Yuno cards and just paid $7 for Miss 14. Got a 2 for 1 coffee at esquires and the real bonus was the yuno swiper was not working so we still have 2 free tickets and popcorn for this 2 month period. Anyone living near a Berkeley cinema should look into these cards they are good value. 2 free (non Comp) movies plus popcorn every 2 months (6 in total) and never pay more than $7 children and $11 adults. They are valid for 6 months and cost $40. Movie was good as well... Have a great day all. JB toadfish - 2009-03-01 07:33:00 |

| 871 | My brother moved to Darwin a few years ago. And it was ridiculous sending cheques across the water for birthdays, his is on the 1st of March & mine is on the 30th March. So a few years ago I said to him, how about you buy something for yourself from me and I will buy something for myself from you... It works fantastically. This year I "apparently" brought him an external hard drive... generous arn't I (last year I "brought" him a DVD recorder). And this year (as he has for the last couple) he has renewed my subsription to "The Healthy Food Guide" and the twist on the tale is I used Flybuys for it so it cost me nothing!! We are just consolidating after a huge 6 week holiday, hubby is self employed so goes unpaid when we take time off. So every little thing helps when watching the pennies. toadfish - 2009-03-05 07:10:00 |
| 872 | Fundraising My daughter, Miss 14 is off for an exchange trip to Singapore in 2 weeks arrgghhh (nervous Mum) and I have made sure she has fundraised, A - its the right thing to do, she needs to contribute, & B - Everything she raises we don't have to cover. So far she has made $400 selling chocolates and now she has approached local businesses for donations and has those listed on trade me at the moment. Good on her I say as she didn't want to do chocolates again in this heat and the auctions could make her as much as an order of chocolates. toadfish - 2009-03-05 07:14:00 |

| 884 | re the TVP (textured vegetable protein) posting please GOOGLE it before you actually buy it. I have a family of 9 at home and was going to buy it BUT it actually has carcinogenic properties (cancer) so PLEASE research this before you compromise money for health peoples :-) darlingmole - 2009-03-18 18:45:00 |

| 887 | Hi happy If you look at a picture I've uploaded, (may need to put your view zoom up a bit) You can see an example of a weekly food plan for us. 2 adults one baby. THis might give you an idea for where to start for making your own one. I did ours in excell, and made up 4 weeks worth to rotate them. ____ http://images.trademe.co.nz/photoserver/85/89427085_full.jpg ange164 - 2009-03-19 10:02:00 |

| 889 | Happylonglife... please don't take this the wrong way, but you get out of life what you put in. I don't think its fair for you to expect to be "spoon fed" as such. Ange164 has given you a great template, just duplicate this and change it to things that you enjoy and make your shopping list from this. What I would do first is get comfortable, make yourself a coffee and read this thread.. all 800+ posts and then any specific questions ask away.... Good Luck. toadfish - 2009-03-19 11:21:00 |
