Mummy of 2

hi i've recently opened a small online based business making soaps and creams and a few other handy little things that i can do from home, i have continously been asked by my customers when am i going to offer new items, my problem is i do not have the finances until i see my current items, where can i find finance for this which isn't a bank or a loan shark company?

i am based in australia, and only use australian ingredients to make my items, which so far have been a big seller. help please.

hi there i'm looking for something i can make from home that i can strap around myself to help relieve the pain that i am having from arthritis in my spine i have heard of rice heating before but have no idea about it can anyone help?

also what is an easy way to make a hot water bottle at home that doesn't involve 3 or 4 towels?

most information will get best answer.

hi there, i've recently been diagnosed with arthritis in my spine, because of having epidurals that were botched while having my children, and i was wondering if i could make something similar to a hot water bottle that i could strap around me and how i would go about this?

also my hot water bottle has decided to spring a leak is there anything i could use except for hot towels as a hot water bottle just for tonight?

most information will get best answer.

Recently i was called this by a friend and well i have no idea what it is about, yes i am a wiccan and so is she but no matter where i look on the internet all it basically says is a kitchen witch is someone who is a decent cook, can someone please explain this to me?also can someone tell me what the Fae is? best explanation will win!

i have some Glycerin Soap Bases and i was wondering if i could use it in moisturiser? i have never made moisturizer before but would love to try it and while the internet normally answers all my soap making questions i can not find anything at all about it, i know that one of the ingredients is Sodium Hydroxide in the Bases which is used to help harden it and turns it into a glycerin base, can anyone tell me whether they have done this before and whether it actually worked or not?

hi there

i have just got a 9 week old american staffy and i was wondering how much i should feed her, all the guides say 4 times a day but she is a guzzle guts and will eat everything anyway so i was wondering if this is too much, also how can i stop her from biting my hand and what types of toys are best for her?

she is a pure breed so i know she is going to be a big dog that isnt a problem.

ok here is the deal, im engaged to one man who i've known and loved for 5 years and we have two children together, but he can be so overbearing he always has to know where i'm going and if i do go out which is almost never he has to know who i am going out with he is such a control freak.

and then there is this other guy who is slightly younger than me and he is so different from my partner, he is laid back and relaxed and all he really wants to do is hangout and enjoy himself with life, he doesnt care who i know or who i go out with as long as i'm safe and well he makes my motor run if you know what i mean.

i'm torn between both of them, i'm in love with them both but in two different ways it is all so confusing, what should i do? like i know i should stay with my partner and raise our kids together but it just gets so hard at times to stay with him.

me and my son both have what looks like a rash, at first the doctor thought it was scabies because my little sister got it from school but the treatment only worked to stop him itching and the rash is still there, recently my partner changed our washing liquid to a powder i have never used before and since then i have been getting a rash just down my right arm that itches and once i stratch it it bleeds, no one else in our house has this reaction to anything, and what i'm wondering is if it is an allergic reaction what can i use on myself and my son to help minimise the itch and hopefully the rash, i dont like to use any form of chemicals so i'm looking for something natural, thankyou

i have been having dizzy spells everyday sometimes up to 8 times a day, headaches that go away for a period of time but always come back, i've been shaking for no reason, i've also got nausea and i cant sleep at all, i dont suffer from insomnia, and i dont know what could be wrong with me i am going to the doctors later on this week but would just like some advice as to what it could be, also i've been having nose bleeds twice a week for the past two weeks, which is unusal as i dont get nose bleeds, could all of these things be caused by stress or something else?

do people who have bipolar realize after they have had a manic episode, even if they dont remember exactly what they have done?

i'm going to ask a very serious question here, i may have either depression or bi polar. i have suffered for years from depression which every few months goes away for no reason and i feel like i can do anything and be anyone, which is then followed by a period of a manic high where i am sexually fueled to screw anyone, then following this it leads to a period of chaoticness where i cant control anything i do this can last for a few hours up to aa few days and then it just goes away and i'm back to depression, where i fall into spirals that go up and down and up and down, where i will cycle down to a point where i just dont want anything to do with anyone and i curl up in bed and dont get out, and when it comes to the up spiral it gets to a point where i feel almost normal and that i can cope with my children and my family. what is this?

the past few weeks i've had bad pain in my lower back around my kidney area, and nausea, last week my period came through and normally it is on time but this time it was delayed by two weeks and i thought i could be pregnant, well when it came through it was bright orange with black spots through it, now i know the black spots are just old blood coming out, but i dont know what the bright orange is, i am now into the 5th day and i havent bled for this long in years and then i missed my period for six months due to stress and anxiety, please can anyone answer why i am suffering from nausea, lower back pain and orange menstrual blood?

hey me and my partner just realized that we have 6 female guppies that are pregnant (i know we should of been able to tell earlier but there his fish not mine) i'm from perth, australia and i was wondering if anyone knows of any place that will buy them once they are out of the fry stage? or any place that we can give them too, as it will over populate the breeding tank (that will soon be populated with black moors as the eggs are already in there and 70% of them are fertile, the other 30% have been removed), should i get another tank for his guppies fry? (thinking of doing that anyway) or will they be fine for a little while with the black moor fry? thankyou for your help

hi i've got two gold fish one gold and the other white and gold, well there tails are blood shot, and they have white stuff all over them, i also have a black telescopic goldfish that doesnt have the same problem she is fine and heavily pregnant, i have 9 guppies and 1 algae eater in the tank with them, and up until this morning everything was fine, then i noticed that they had changed from last night and that they are slow and lathargic, what could this be? i've changed the water and seperated them into a different tank just incase there is something seriously wrong i dont want it to affect the other fish, what can i do about it ?

alright i'm 8 months pregnant with his kid, with that aside, we have been together for 2 years and in the course of our relationship he has cheated on me numerous times and i have forgiven him and gotten over it, but i just found out that he has had another relationship while we have been together for 6 months and the chick was / is in love with him, she even bought him a bracelet for valentiens day, needless to say she is heartbroken and i am stunned what should i do about him? apart from break up with him because i dont want to do that i want to raise this child with him, whether i care for him or not. please advice is much appreciated, longer answers will be considered for best answer.
