Somebody read my “Gift ideas for Mothers Day” article which I wrote a few years ago (and is desperately looking for your personal ideas for gifts for moms!) and wanted to know why Mother’s Day was on May 11th this year.

Just a quick post to show you somebody who does…

I may sound like a Woolworths fan boy, but I’m only using their products as an example in this article because we actually use them (and love them) in our house. I try not to write about things I can’t personally vouch for.
Woolworths has a range of organic cleaning products (which it looks like they’ve named “earth friendly“) that has a couple of benefits.
In the spirit of tradition, I’ll just write a quick note and reminder (as if you need one) to say that Valentine’s Day 2009 is next Saturday!
What tradition, you may ask?

This article applies to South Africans because of the products I’m talking about. ESPECIALLY since Woolworths in England has closed up shop (last I heard) after 99 years of business.
At the bottom of this post I tell you of 2 Woolworths Foods products that you HAVE to try. If you do, let me know if you agree with me…
What are your favourite foods from Woolworths? Do you even shop at Woolworths?
There are a few options here in SA:

I have a new eBook that is exclusive to subscribers of this website.
It’s title is “How to Prune Roses” and is about 13 pages (depending on when you download it) and includes photos.
It’s main purpose is to give you some sort of guidance when it comes to pruning roses. The first time I did it, I went on a 1-day course, and I’m really glad I did. I don’t think I would have had the guts to prune my roses as “drastically” as I was shown.
So, I thought I would share a bit of what I learnt with you. It’s not comprehensive, but rather is to be used as a guide so that when you prune your roses, you have an idea of what to expect, and what the end result should look like.

This site gets an average of 300 visits a day from people who have questions on how to get rid of maggots.
You may think that’s weird, but believe it or not, it’s easy to get maggots, and you don’t have to have a dirty house.
If you’re thinking how people could possibly get maggots, it’s really quite easy. Perhaps you missed the garbage disposal pickup day, or your cat has killed a bird that you weren’t aware of. Or, as happened in our complex, a neighbour ran over a bullfrog and didn’t pick up the dead body, and the flies had a FEAST.
So it may not even be your problem!
Because of the number of visitors seeking help, I decided to move the information over to a new website dedicated to maggots.
If you’d like to take a look, go to www.maggots.co.za
And, if you happen to land on this page looking for help on how to get rid of maggots, the main article on the new site to take a look at is this one:
A Definitive Guide to Getting Rid of Maggots
Share on FacebookTumble dryers are great little time savers because as a general rule (in our house) whatever goes in the tumble dryer doesn’t need to be ironed if it does not get worn in public.
This means that pyjamas, underwear, sheets, blankets, socks, etc. do not need to be ironed.
Why would they need to be ironed anyway?

Here’s a quick tip for all those people who’s shower floors have marks on them that don’t seem to come off with standard cleaning.

We’re being taken over by ants in our house. But I think I’ve found the cure!
You can’t see the ants, but drop a piece of food on the floor and wait 5 minutes. The food will either be gone, or covered in ants and on it’s way to being gone.
So I splashed out today. I paid R240 for imported Ant Poison. That’s a LOT in my opinion, especially for a 280 gram jar.
But it looks like it works like a charm.
