one part bleach to 9 parts water is about the cheapest cleaner you can get, (what we were told to use when I ran a home childcare). I have a spray bottle in the bathrooms and in the kitchen, lasts months!

Shockingly enough, fruit snacks seem to be the cure for everyone in this house. Do not know why, or understand any scientific correlation between the two.

This came from southernfoodsabout.com last December. We added peanut m&ms to the slightly cooled fudge. We decided it was a winner and will give it as gifts this year as well. (Note: m&ms may go on sale this next month, so keep an eye out)
2c granulated sugar
2/3 c milk
1c marshmallow creme
1 c peanut butter (creamy or crunchy; I would use creamy if adding m&ms)
1 tsp vanilla

Boil milk and sugar to soft ball stage. Remove from heat and stir in remaining ingredients.Pour into a buttered 8×8 pan; cut into squares when firm.

I use essential oils daily as immune builders as well as therapeutically. If I find I want a little more fragrance, I just dab a drop on a pulse point.

I just hold mine on with large safety pins - one in front, one in back, one in middle if necessary.

I have heard that febreeze contains carcinogens. I would do some research.

Annie Major,
Maybe you could pick a few pairs of underware just for you period, and put snaps or hooks on the pad and onto your underware at the front?
