Calling All Poets!
Win a Christmas hamper. All you have to do is write a limerick with Christmas as your subject. Like this:-

But the Laird came past

I think she's still running, by golly!
The best 5 entries will each win a grand hamper, which will be sent off in plenty of time for Christmas.

A reader wanted to know how to remove stains from children's socks. My method is to wet the sock and apply baking soda generously to the stain, rub well and wash as usual.
