We are proud to introduce you to the home and gardening granny. Her name is Ethel.

Ethel has shared with us hundreds of household hints, tips and money saving ideas. She has the kind of knowledge that has been passed down from generation to generation. She knows only the things that your grandma would know.

Ethel has preferred to stay anonymus at this time because she doesn't want to be thrown out of her coffee mornings or weekly bingo nights for giving away her top secrets.

However if you do wish to ask granny a question.. Then please drop us an email us and we will put her to the test.

Although granny is correct most of the time we cannot guarantee that her memory is as good as it was. We take no responsinbilty if your hair turns blue from her hair dyeing recipe or that her knitted jumpers will fit you. Please enjoy the tips and advice.
