How do you keep warm in winter?
9 years ago
Keeping warm isn't what it used to be in Australia.
Anyone remember standing around the incinerator on a Friday or Saturday night? How about the old kerosene heater that filled your rumpus room with rancid smoke? Or the open fireplace with sparks that'll burn anyone who sits too close!
Nowadays, the options are much more sedate - and safe.

POLL: Where do you keep your shoes?
Comments (26)I found that a few basic towel rails mounted on the back of my wardrobe door works for me :D heels can hang on the rails, or i slot the toe of the shoes in behind the rail.

Comments (22)I use a magnetic strip and love that it keeps the bench clear. I don't like knife blocks very much as they are hard to keep clean. I use quite a few knives frequently and I don't find they get dusty at all – and the ones I use less frequently, like the fish filleting knife, I just wipe with a damp cloth before using but, as I usually touch it up with the sharpener before tackling a fish, I would wipe it after sharpening anyway. I have mine near the stove but in a reasonably discreet spot so I don't feel that they are out on display....See MoreHow do you keep your home cool in summer?
