Recipe of the week

penguinmum's creamy fish pie: smoky, seasonal fish in a creamy white sauce with grated, rather than mashed, tatties on top - a meal of the highest comfort-food order.

Bleach or colur-run remover?

Thanks Emma. I just found a thread which said the same as you, and I've bleached it and rewashed - it's looking good at the moment - just hope it doesn't fall apart!

I have tried the colour run sachets and they haven't worked for me I must admit. I tried the oxy white stuff ( not sure what it was called) which helped a bit. I think that none of the stuff is as good as it claims... hmm so if it's not too delicate fabric then a light bleach might be an option.

I have put DD's favourite white dress in with a blue item by mistake. It's still white, but with a blue tinge. Can I just lightly bleach it or would I get better results by using one of those colour removal things I've seen in the supermarket? (I know bleach will probably work, but it would be really helpful if anyone has tried both and knows which is best.)

TIA

Emphasis: To bold a word, surround it with asterisks, so *hello* will display hello. For underline use _ , so _hello_ gives hello. For italics use ^, so ^hello^ gives hello. To strike out a word, surround it with two hyphens either side, so --dog-- gives dog

Links and smileys: To insert a smiley face,  , type [smile] or :)
For a big grin,  , type [grin] or :o

Links The simplest way to insert a link is to enter the link itself, surrounded by [[ and ]]. So if you type [[www.mumsnet.com]], the link will display as http://www.mumsnet.com. If you want your link to display text other than the web address itself, leave a space after the address then add the text before the ]]. So "Look at [[www.mumsnet.com this page]]", would display "Look at this page".
