How Do You Get the Grit Out of the Bottom of a Hot Tub?

So you have a hot tub, in my case a lay-z-spa Saint Tropez but obviously it could be any other kind of inflatable hot tub (and may well work on a fixed one too) and you have some bits of grit and dirt in the bottom of the tub. Are you trying to figure out how to get rid of the dirt out of the bottom without emptying the whole tub? Continue reading How Do You Get the Grit Out of the Bottom of a Hot Tub?

Making a Facebook ‘Post to Page’ Public

Facebook have changed the way that business pages work and it is often very difficult to find posts that are made to pages and to make them public so that anyone who likes your page can see them.

I have found this problem with a Facebook Page that I manage recently and did find one way of solving the problem of making the post public on a page.

You also used to be able to change a setting that would show posts by other people in your timeline but this is no longer possible. Continue reading Making a Facebook ‘Post to Page’ Public

LayZSpa ChemConnect Dispensing Too Much Chlorine

So when I first got my Lay-z-spa Saint Tropez hot tub I bought the chlorine granules to keep the water in the spa clean. These worked really well as they kept the chlorine at the correct level after a shock dose and then adding 2 teaspoons a day of the granules to the water.

In fact I had no problems with this at all except that my only issue was having to make sure I was doing this whether I was using the hot tub or not that day. So I decided that it would make sense to try out the chlorine tablets with the special dispenser that came with the hot tub. Continue reading LayZSpa ChemConnect Dispensing Too Much Chlorine

Monster Doughnuts With No Plastic!

For an event we were running as a PTA we wanted to sell monster donuts to the children and adults who were coming so we looked around for a recipe for monster doughnuts that we could easily make.

We weren’t actually going to make the monster doughnuts ourselves but instead buy some and decorate them with monster faces. The ones that we had seen on Pinterest had edible eyes and then plastic mouths that opened over the hole of the donut  (which you can buy very cheaply online) but we didn’t want to use any more plastic than we needed to so we decided to go another route with the monster mouths!
