Greening the laundry, the kitchen, and the cleaning routine were all familiar to me, and although I still don't make soap or detergents, I'm very conscious of what I buy in those areas. <br />The Best Before Dates article was super-informative - got to print that one off for future reference! It really clarified what we can actually keep using without poisoning ourselves, and wasting so much. I've been guilty of throwing stuff out just in case, but it has mostly been things like pesto in jars which I've bought as a one-off for a specific recipe and not got around to using the remainder. There was no mould, and it didn't smell bad, but because I am unfamiliar with the product, I just didn't want to risk using it and making us sick.Gina E.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07532527261977368083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-28733341416787030592014-07-20T22:40:22.307+10:002014-07-20T22:40:22.307+10:00Interesting article about renting vs ownership. T...Interesting article about renting vs ownership. The RBA are only looking at it from the financial point of view, although the article does touch on aspects such as pride in home ownership and being able to renovate. Most people I've talked to in my adult years of renting/mortgage paying have agreed with me that the so called Australian dream of owning your home is about the security of a roof over your head that can't generally be taken away from you. We all know the financial cost of mortgage interest is huge, but even with that, I'd still rather grow old in my own home with the option of selling it and buying something smaller if I needed to. The thought of living on a pension and renting in my old age would terrify me. Lots of people do it though.Gina E.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07532527261977368083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-78991848282493383102014-07-20T19:01:55.420+10:002014-07-20T19:01:55.420+10:00Your weekend reading always has something of inter...Your weekend reading always has something of interest, thank you! I had been wondering if it was worth the extra cost of buying organic flour to make our bread (we live in the UK) - but now I guess it is! Can't afford organic everything, but flour, porridge oats and carrots will stay on my list!CharlottePhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16693808113369554138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-5804028006189672922014-07-19T20:24:04.280+10:002014-07-19T20:24:04.280+10:00I intend to lol I won't be leaving the house o...I intend to lol I won't be leaving the house over the weekend.

We have a garden show at our local Toowoomba TAFE tomorrow so that will be a nice place to visit as it should be a sunny day after a cold morning on the Darling Downs. Your weekend reading choices sound very interesting. Thanks for the links.
