Things that I found out too late #2

Bi-card soda is not the same as baking powder (yummy fizzy muffins).

Early stages of pregnancy and urinary tract infections often have similar symptoms.

Mecuricrome from the 80's was taken off the market for being linked to mercury poisoning and cancer and therefore should not be used as a hair dye.

Fortunately the 90s were to follow up with Fudge colours, which were not only hideous, but also completely lacking in anti-sceptic properties. Oh but how we loved them.

Also, it is my (possibly false) understanding that baking powder is basically equal parts bi-carb soda and citric acid, so if you have both of them you can invent your own baking powder lickity-split. You can also make your own sherbet!

You might be right on the Bi-carb front Tash.
And Fudge colours? was this in your rave days Natasha? :)

You must be relieved you're not pregnant.
