With children I am now a lot more conscious about the chemicals that I use in the house for cleaning. I have a couple of boxes of bicarb in my cleaning cupboard and use it for cleaning practically everything! My favourite use is as an all purpose cleaner. A sprinkle of bicarb and a squirt of vinegar, wait for the fizz and then clean as normal! Much cheaper than spray and wipe. About $5 a bottle versus around $1.50 for a box of bicarb and $2.50 for some home brand vinegar - and it will last much, much longer! - contributed by Frances, Coolloongatta

A great big thank you to the Ipswich City Council for having me out in April to speak with the community about money management. Your Mayor and council are to be congratulated for their wonderful intiatives in your community. I was delighted to be asked to present to you all, it was wonderful to meet so many of you!
Congratulations also to those who "stepped up" and attended the Back to Basics workshop as part of the Money Master Class series.
The GFC, rising interest rates and general cost of living, combined with the floods in January have put some you in difficult circumstances. I trust that you will use the information from the seminars to help you get back on track.
