I’m making paper from cardboard scraps from the boxes I used to move into my new house. I’m following a rough tutorial and one of my housemates is also helping me since she makes paper. I’ve cut up the cardboard into little pieces and I’m soaking it in water in spare water/soda bottles I cleaned out. But since checking on them I’ve realised either the water or cardboard has this gross soggy smell (I know that sounds obvious because it’s literally soggy cardboard). I’ve only been soaking the cardboard for a few nights to a week. Is this normal?

Anyone have any recommendations for calendar and to-do list apps? I’m neurodivergent so I really need something to visually plan out my days, weeks, months, etc. and it would be so much easier to have both features in the one app. I’ve tried finch but it doesn’t have a calendar, I just looked at Tiimo but again, the calendar aspect doesn’t really visually display what I have going on throughout the months. I also have memory issues so this is really important to me. Thanks!

Hi, so I’ve been going through a whole mold issue in my house at the moment (I’m going to be moving out as soon as I find another place because the landlord doesn’t want to fix it). At first it was just mold growing on the walls and stuff, typical Newcastle rental stuffs, but now I have this green fluffy mold growing on all my shelves that aren’t lacquered or polished basically. One of these is the shelf I keep my clothes on, so obviously I want to get rid of all the infected shelves and clean my clothes. But is it enough to just chuck them in the washing machine? Do I need to soak them in vinegar? How do I go about this? I have a lot of cardigans and knitted jumpers as well as velvet and corduroy materials that I don’t want to ruin. Please help 🙏
