Recipe for liquid handwash
Q:
I’m getting a lot of requests for repeat recipes from readers who have lost or can’t find the pull-out we did last year. So for the next few weeks, I’ll run my top five recipes for those who can’t find them – or maybe for new readers or those who would like to have a go at making them for the first time. The first one is the one I really want everyone to start making because it’s so delicious and fantastic for your hands, plus it’s really easy. It’s my liquid handwash, which leaves hands beautifully smooth.
LIQUID HANDWASH
250ml boiling water
2 tbsp grated Sunlight soap
2 tsp glycerine or glycerol (from the chemist or supermarket)
2 tsp rosewater (from chemists or specialty food stores)
Melt the grated soap in the boiling water, then stir in the glycerine and rosewater. Pour the mixture into a soap dispenser while it’s still warm and it will set, ending up with a jelly-like texture. Enjoy!

Over the Teacups
My four-year-old grandson was at the supermarket with his mother when he exclaimed, “You’re buying something, Mummy, auntie is buying something – I want to buy something!” Mum replied, “You have to be big, have a wife, have a job, then you can buy things.” He replied, “I have a wife – Maia,” meaning his four-year-old friend. Mum said, “What about a job?” Master Four replied, “My job is having a wife!”

Water you want?
I was in the car and asking Master Three what he wanted for Christmas. He said he was going to ask Santa for a water pistol. “And Nanny,” he added, “I’m going to ask for some water for our paddling pool.” Now that could be interesting!

Bee gone
Master Three had his first bee sting recently. The incident broke his heart, but after many cuddles he came right. Later he said, “I never want to see another bee again. I don’t like bees any more, I only like flies.”

Fraud with worry
My daughter warned me that “old people are being taken for a ride,” and that I shouldn’t engage in conversation with phone sales people. To this, Master Five piped up, “Nana can’t go on that ride, she’s old.”
