A question about : Clean & Clear Static From The TV

Heard this one on the TV the other day. Haven't tried it yet; but to clean your TV and reduce the static build up clean it with 1 part fabric conditioner and 4 parts water.

A question about : Stinky Oven!!!

Can anyone suggest anything to clean my 'self cleaning' oven? I was considering using a washing powder solution in a warmed oven.

A question about : non automatic soap powder?

if this is on special offer and the automatic isnt, or you have some left from handwashing

just use the amount youd put in the machine and add half that amount of salt to it

you wont get the suds in the machine then

and the powder wont go to waste

A question about : plant diseases

black spot rust powdery mildew all shrink at the first sign of sulphur I heard

so I tried to buy it couldnt and then had the idea of getting sulphur tablets from chemist (laxative) very cheap (60p) and i disolved 6 in some water sprayed it onto my roses and voila they were much better

apparently its much better to do them in spring before they start budding so Ill use it next year

;D

A question about : refreezing chicken

Hi
Today I defrosted raw chicken joints and made a casserole. It was lovely. Theres half left and I would like to freeze it for another day. Is it ok to refreeze this chicken?

I'm sure the answer is yes, but my other half tells me you shouldnt refreeze a chicken!

Also how should i warm it up next time round? I don't like using the microwave.

thanks.

A question about : Storage Times

This might be slightly off topic here and if it is I guess the mods will move it, but I found a really handy American site where you can download a pdf file that gives info about Food storage times.

Its useful to know because it keeps you fit and healthy and cuts down on waste by helping you plan weekly shops and menus.

Heres the link :
