			<description><![CDATA[I found a recipe for homemade laundry soap on the computer and was really happy with it and it was super easy to make.

hOMEMADE lAUNDRY SOAP

ALL YOU DO IS BUY:

BOX OF BORAX - $5.00
ARM AND HAMMER WASHING SODA - $5.27
SUNLIGHT PURE BAR SOAP(SOLD IN PACKS OF 2) - $2.00
*ALL INGREDIENTS FOUND IN LAUNDRY SECTION AT WALMART*EASY PEASY

BLEND TOGETHER 1 BAR OF SOAP AND 1/2 CUP OF BORAX AND 1/2 CUP OF WASHING SODA IN FOOD PROCESSOR OR BLENDER. CUT UP BAR OF SOAP INTO SMALLER PIECES FIRST. AND YOU'RE DONE!

YOU CAN ALSO USE YOUR FAVORITE BAR SOAP INSTEAD IF YOU PREFER(ZEST OR WHATEVER FLOATS YOUR BOAT,as long as there aren't heavy dyes, perfumes,or moisturizers which could transfer to clothes)


ALL YOU USE IS 1 TABLESPOON PER LOAD AND IT WORKS IN COLD WATER FOR MORE 
COST SAVING!(THIS DETERGENT DOESN'T MAKE TONS OF BUBBLES BUT IT CLEANS 
WONDERFULLY WITHOUT ANY HEAVY DYES OR PERFUMES, GREAT FOR BABIES OR KIDS 
WITH SENSITIVE SKIN)

BREAKDOWN

1 BOX OF BORAX DOES 24 BATCHES AT $5.00 =&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;.21/BATCH
1 BOX OF WASHING SODA DOES 36 BATCHES AT $5.27 =&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;.15/BATCH
1 BAR OF SOAP(CHEAPER IF YOU USE A SOAP THAT CAME 
	&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; IN A PACK FOR LESS)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 1.00/BATCH

*THIS ALL ADDS UP TO $1.36/BATCH OR LESS AND REMEMBER EACH BATCH WASHES 30 LOADS BECAUSE YOU ONLY USE 1 TABLESPOON.

THIS ALL COMES DOWN TO CLEAN CLOTHES AND WASHING THAT IS FRIENDLY TO THE ENVIRONMENT AND YOUR FAMILY'S SKIN FOR 0.0453333333 CENTS A LOAD. 
1 3kg box of washing soda will wash 1080 loads and
1 2kg box of borax will wash 720 loads.
just have to buy bars of soap! 
***I JUST MADE MY NEW BATCHES OF SOAP WITH NONAME IVORY BAR SOAP WHICH COSTS $2.99/10 BARS AND BOUGHT 
50 BARS FOR $15.00, THIS COMES OUT TO .30/BATCH INSTEAD OF $1.00. NEW CALCULATION .66/BATCH AND .022/LOAD!!! COOL;)]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I always thought cloth diapering was more work than it was worth until I started looking into it on the internet to see what other mothers were doing. I just had my 2nd baby and decided to give it a try. I liked the idea of prefold diapers and got a free pattern from the computer and made 30 prefold diapers out of a set of jersey T shirt bedsheets the I wasn't using. In Regina I found a store that sells specialized baby products and bought a snappy(which is used to hold the diaper on instead of diaper pins) and a few diaper covers and we have been happily using cloth diapers for about a month now. Youtube is a wonderful resource for learning how to use or make cloth diapers and the sewing is nothing too hard if you do make your own(I hadn't used a sewing machine since highschool). I have read that 1 baby uses $3,500 worth of diapers from birth to potty training not to mention the waste in the landfill. I also make homemade laundry soap that costs just a few cents/load.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Hello everyone,

I'm writing from the Cariboo region of British Columbia. I'm always interested in learning news way to spend less. I was hit by the financial crisis last year and because of that my house is in foreclosure. I do however have six months to try to sell it and hopefully things will pick up this spring.

I am self-employed and do animal rescue, which is my passion. My dream is to one day have a large acreage, off the grid, where I can work and take care of these animals, who have already had a hard start, in peace and quiet. I don't want to be more than an hour from a larger town for supplies and vet care, but I don't want any close neighbors.

I look forward to learning new ideas and hopefully can pass on some suggestions myself.

•	Financial institutions
•	Banking systems
•	Non banking financial institutions
•	Mutual funds
•	Capital markets
•	Insurance sector
•	Provident funds 

The treasury secretary has “hinted at a greater coordination between various regulators and operators for more transparency and accountability.”&nbsp;&nbsp;However, by the beginning of the year 1990, the social banking goals set for the banking industry made most of the government controlled banks, unprofitable.&nbsp;&nbsp;

The real issue was that a majority of the banks were in public sector on the presumption that there was no need to look at the fundamental financial strengths of these banks.&nbsp;&nbsp;Consequently, their strengths were not capitalized and their resources went underutilized.&nbsp;&nbsp;The need for restructuring the banking industry was felt more with the institution of the banking sector reforms process in the early 1990s.&nbsp;&nbsp;However, these reforms have enhanced the opportunities in this sector helping them to make their presence felt in the global market place.

Firms like LoanMax of  rod aycox  fame is part of the developments in the private sector.&nbsp;&nbsp;Its board consists of a group of experienced professionals.&nbsp;&nbsp;This bank has overcome many a hurdle and was on the growth path since a couple of years before the present recession.&nbsp;&nbsp;Even the present recession has failed to make a dent in its operations.]]></description>
