I am 65 and have been using Tresemme brand shampoo and conditioner for a long time now and have lately noticed that my hair feels like straw and looks unkempt. I regularly dye my hair about every 8 weeks and always use a shampoo and conditioner suitable for dyed hair. Now I feel like I need a change to make my hair look 'alive' and healthy. Can anybody help? I don't want to pay a fortune for the best as I only have pension to survive on. Thanking you.

The same cakes rose very successfully in my old conventional oven, but when made the same they sit as flat as a pancake. I use the same ingredients and adjust the temperature 10 degrees lower for this oven however they cook ok but never rise. I made a Xmas cake last year the same one I've been making for thr last 20 years but it was very depressing to see that it hadn't risen above the level that it originally was uncooked. Am I doinfg something wrong or could it be the oven. By the way, I can't turn the fan off to cook conventionally.

We have a mature Cardinal Creeper growing over an old Hills Hoist and need to remove the hoist to use the pipe. We don't want to kill the creeper however it possible we would like to transplant it to another area. We have heard that aerial layering may suffice and we are willing to do this if necessary. Is there any other way we can remove the plant without killing it? We live just north of Brisbane, have sandy loam but not a lot of rain.

I just bought a doona cover and besides the nice floral pattern it also has the Eifel Tower and the date 05/03/2000 and republic of cuba printed on it. What does this date mean for Cuba and why is the Eiffel Tower listed?

I have a new leather lounge and would like to put some anti-macassers and arm covers on the lounge, however normal material always slides off. Is is possible to buy the backing that is used on bathmats or is there something better that I may use to avoid this sliding problem. Otherwise I'm cleaning the leather every day.

If t.d.s. means 3 times a day and q.i.d. means 4 times a day, what means 5 times a day?

Our shower is separate from the bath and with our new lightweight curtain, it is useless trying to have a shower with the curtain closes. There is no easy way to attach magnets or washers to the bottom as the sewing will waken the fabric.

What can be used if diet and exercise don't work. I have tried statins however there are too many side effects and not suitable for me.

We have a small nursery in our garden and have been having trouble with the local water hens chewing our seedling palms and eating our tomatoes before they are ripe enough to pick. We are wondering how we can either remove them or deter them from this activity.

Is there such a thing as an automatic washing machine with a suds saver function.

I've been using twin tubs for many years but am having trouble location a good one for everyday use.

I have just bought a movie on a UMD by mistake and am wondering if it can be played in an all region DVD player or not.

I have been diagnosed with hereditary high blood cholesterol.I already consume minimum meat and dairy products, eat fruit and vegetables every day, drink at least 2L of water daily, don't have sugar and have lowered my carb and fat intake. My weight has dropped to a healthy 70kg over the last few years and I am an active 59yo exercising regularly every day. I take many vitamins and anti-oxidants but still my cholesterol is higher than normal. Is there anything else that I can do other than taking another pill? My brother had a massive heart attack last year and my mother was taking heart pills all her life.Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.

I am having trouble trying to track down the composers of two songs by the 60's-70's group 'The Grass Roots'. The songs are:-Two Divided By Love & Sooner of Later. I have searched the internet without any luck. I would appreciate any help that I can get.

Cheers,

We a purchasing a 20 foot shipping container for storage and are aware of the heat that can build up when sealed up during the hot Queensland Summer. To avoid any problems arising with goods and chattels stored in coolite and cardboard boxes developing with this immense heat, how can we alleviate the problem without having to keep the door open during the day.

We want to keep the container shut up to avoid vermin hiding inside.

I need to know urgently as we are purchasing the container this week.

I have an extensive music database of popular music from 50's to 80's which is nearly complete except many songs do not have listed the songwriters. I am wondering if there are any reliable websites that would list songwriters and the songs they are responsible for so as I may complete my database.

This group weren't around very long and had only a few hits. who were the writers of their hit song Simon Says. Not to be mixed up with the bubble gum song of the same name by 1910 Fruitgum Co. This is the aussie one from mid 60's.

I'm trying to find out the songwriters of the '60's Ronettes song: You Came, You Saw, You Conquered.

Can anybody help me!!!!!!

Has anyone ever tried making jam with citrus fruit with shredded coconut added. If so would it be ok.
