Focus CAST IRON Barrel

Advantages: Welcomes wanted callers.
Disadvantages: Warns unwanted ones.

...These lanterns are very popular nowadays, they are a practical, cheap, and easy addition to any home. They are supposed to look like they are made out of cast iron, but are actually an aluminium alloy, which does corrode in time. The first thing these lanterns need in my opinion, is a coat of Hammerite paint, ( there are reviews on this product on Ciao) this makes them last longer & looks more sort of "authentic." It warns against burglars, and can be wired up to a sounder, either inside house to let you know, or outside to let them know. It will welcome guests, and lights their way, then turns itself off automatically. These are fairly cheap nowadays, and are available from all the DIY superstores,and many other outlets too. Check out Focus, B&Q, garden centres, supermarkets, Argos etc. They are very simple to install, and require... Read review

...The problem i have with laundry is there is far to much of it. Business shirts, socks, tee-shirts, underwear, dress trousers, and then there is the dreaded toddler. Potty training is creating unbelievable volumes of washing and ironing for me. The biggest hate I have about laundry is the ironing part. No matter how much ironing I do, there always seems to be more and more festooned around the house. The items that seem the hardest are tee-shirts. Creases seem so hard to get out - even if you iron them when they are still damp. Today, however, there is a change. Always one to try new products, I bought a new ironing spray from Morrison's supermarket. It costs around £1.20, and you just spray it on the ironing, and it claims to smooth out the creases effortlessly. I tried it on a tee-shirt that I had been meaning to iron... Read review
