I used to have a tailor's dummy but I hadn't used it for years so I gave it away on freecycle, how I wish I hadn't!:_|

Morning all:-D

Merlin....whilst you're about please can I ask a goo related question please....

The fragrances that you add....are they essential oils or something different?

My last couple of batches using baby soap don't seem to smell as much as usual so I think it needs a boost:-D

Thanks people.

There is no class to my outfit really. It's just Debenhams skirt and jacket, tarted up with my shoes and hopefully the top.

Gone are the days when I buy something you can only wear once!

Just nipped in to say cheerio for now. Going to pick daughter and son in law up at 10.30 and then drive 4- 5 hours to Stanstead :_|

Weather forecast is rain for 4 days 😞

*gone before hubby catches me*

enjoy the wedding MrsR


i use baby powder fragrance oil 95% of the time swishy
the rest i use either fragrance or essential oils

depends on what smell i want
i would always use an essential oil over a frgarance one
but they objected when i started squeezing babies:^O

I used a cheapish frag oil this time. It smells very nice. I didn't scent the last lot but I want the bedding to smell nice so used 'Bluebell Wood' this time.:-)
