Colour Catcher Review

I have been sent a box of Colour Catcher sheets from BzzAgent to review. I'd heard of them, but never really given them much thought. To be honest, I assumed they were just a gimicky thing to get people to spend more money.

But when you have a free sample to try you tend to want to give it a go!

I've been using them now for just over a week. Not in every wash, but in the ones that count! Like Big Lad's school uniform, mine and hubby's work clothes, and my lovely brightly coloured underwear!

The Challenge!

I'm a busy mum, you know that. 3 kids, a job, house to run etc. I'm busy. All mums are. And the school uniform wash has, for the last year, been a right royal pain! Grey trousers, navy jumper, and a bright yellow t-shirt! I've always needed to put the t-shirt in a different wash to the rest of the uniform. I found out the hard way that just making up a load of 3 full uniforms is a bad idea - even after umpteen washes - when those bright yellow shirts came out a little less bright after an "awww crap, I forgot to do his uniform! Shove it all in, it'll be 'right!" wash. It wasn't "'right". It was dull! So you can imagine it took a real leap of faith to try the same thing again with a colour catcher! Especially with this years brand new, bright as the sun, yellow t-shirts!

But what do you know.... they came out lovely! Just as bright and yellow as they went in! And the Colour Catcher sheet was a nasty shade and blue-grey!

So now I'm using them in a lot of my washes. Not so much the ones that are mostly blacks because I'm happy that they are close enough in colour for me to not bother - although Colour Catcher's also boast colour protection, so maybe I should to stop them going charcoal grey! But with my work clothes and brightly coloured underwear, the kids vibrant t-shirts, Big Lad and Hubby's uniforms... I use them! I'm a good way through my free sample box, and they are already on my shopping list because now I've tried them, I'm sticking with them!

Recipe: Pigsty Pie

This is one that we made up, although we are far from the first or only people to make a pie using pork or pork mince and call it a Pigsty Pie. So let's just say that this is our version of it. It smells great and reminds me of stuffing at Christmas, making it feel much more "naughty" than it is! This serves four people and it a nice 9 points per serving. You will need these for the mash: 400g potatoes 400g sweet potatoes 4-5 good sized carrots Salt Pepper Nutmeg Simply chop the roots, boil in salted water until tender, and mash! Add salt, pepper and nutmeg to taste. The pie filling: 10 sprays low fat cooking spray (e.g. 1 cal) 1/2 lb lean pork mince 2 onions, finely chopped 3 apples, diced 1 leek, chopped 5-6 big mushrooms 2 tbs plain flour 1 tsp sage 1 tsp parsley Salt Pepper 1 vegetable stock cube 1/2 hot water 2 tsp English mustard Fry the onions in the cooking spray until they start to soften, add the mince. Once the meat starts to colour add the apple, leek and mush
