Competition
Win
'Ask
Aggie' the New Book by Aggie MacKenzie
.jpg)
Sixtyplusurfers has
teamed up with Penguin
to offer six lucky readers the chance to
win Ask Aggie the brand new book from Aggie
MacKenzie.
Aggie MacKenzie knows a thing or two
about how to keep your house clean and tidy. No stain,
grime, scratch or household chore is too tough for Aggie
to master!
For six years she's been on our screens
as the co-presenter of How Clean is Your House? She's
also been a lifesaver to Times readers who, for the past
six years, have been sending in an eclectic mix of
domestic problems for her to solve in her hugely popular
weekly 'Ask Aggie' column.
Aggie has often been asked whether there'll be a book
containing all of her advice. Well here it is, in all
its glory! In Ask Aggie, she has pulled together all of
the most frequently asked and intriguing readers'
queries she has replied to in her column.
Here you'll find bite-sized chunks of
priceless information, with chapters focusing on
everyone's domestic nightmare hotspots - the kitchen,
bathroom, laundry, furniture, flooring, pets and pests,
freshening things up, repairs, the outside of the house,
and the tasks best left to the experts.
With the credit crunch in mind, Aggie is the expert on
utilising cheap products and items that you're likely to
have at home such as bicarbonate of soda, bleach, old
toothbrushes, microfibre cloths, paper towels, washing
up liquid, lemons and potatoes for a multitude of tasks.
You'll find them all in this book, as well as Aggie's
recommendations for the more expensive products because
they really work.
Ask Aggie is a must-have guide for every
household. With Aggie’s wise words at hand you can erase
each and every one of your domestic nightmares!

Aggie MacKenzie has worked on a number of national
magazines, and was associate editor in charge of the
Good Housekeeping Institute. Her current work covers a
variety of areas, aside from co-presenting How Clean is
Your House?
Aggie writes columns for The Times and Good
Housekeeping, frequently partakes in advertising
campaigns and has appeared on many different programmes
including Market Kitchen, The One Show and Dancing on
Ice. Aggie is married, has two sons and lives in north
London. When Aggie is not working, cleaning or tending
to her allotment she loves to cook.
Ask Aggie is published by Penguin. Price is £7.99
for the paperback.

Save Money: Shop
Online Using
Price Comparison Sites
Whether you are looking to buy car insurance,
cheap broadband, a mobile phone, or even a new dishwasher;
finding the one you want amidst the hundreds (sometimes
thousands) of products that are available can be a headache, and
an experience which often deters people from shopping
altogether. But in recent years a new way of shopping for even
the most basic of items has arisen and, if current popularity is
anything to go by, looks like it will be here to stay.
A few years ago, there was no such thing as the
price comparison website (or ‘shopbot’ as they are sometimes
affectionately referred to), but with the recent economic
downturn, and the average person’s social and working life now
more hectic than ever, more and more people are not only turning
to shopping online, but also cutting costs, and saving time and
energy by using price comparison sites, which take the hard work
out of an otherwise laborious task.
Top 10 Broadband is the UK’s largest broadband
comparison site, and a good example of how to provide the best
deals, along with an easy to use website, that is jam-packed
full of useful information on it’s specialty, broadband. If you
are new to comparison sites, head over to
Top 10 Broadband to have a look at how it works.
You can
then search on Google for the product you are looking for (for
example: ‘mobile phone price comparison site’), to find a price
comparison site that will find the best deal for the product you
wish to purchase.
