Help! Carrot baton mountain
I collected about 15 packs of carrot batons in my evening Olio, and cannot distribute them because they are "use by". What genius ways have you got to cook, preserve, serve, use carrot batons so I can get them all processed into something or other tomorrow?! Thanks for any thoughts you can provide!

Panasonic Breadmakers SD206 and SD251to SD257 Drive Belt fix
These machines keep going and going, but eventually, the profiled drive belt on these machines starts to slip on the motor drive pulley. It is impossible to buy a replacement SD026 drive belt - ASD158-108-W (even second-hand); or an SD251 belt - ADF01R140 (except at a ridiculous price). First of all remove the bottom of…

double query - printing on jeans and baggy sweater help
OK so I've treated myself to some long overdue new clothes. And have a couple of problems. Scratchy printing on the inside of jeans - lovely new pair of jeans, proper jeans not lycra or shredded or whatever and they fit me properly too. So perfect right? Yes except that for some reason there is some large printing inside…

Thank you, Valli, for last week's thread. What is FLYLADY? Well, it's our version of the US flylady idea - but we work on the principle that housework is not fun, it's boring, can be time-consuming, is often thankless but, unfortunately, necessary.

Ninja CREAMi Breeze Ice Cream & Frozen Dessert Maker
Posting here as us OSers are the most likely to make HM ice cream. Anyone who has seen the deals to be had on the main site will have seen this one. The reason I am going down the HM route is because I love ice cream but the stuff in the shops is ultra-processed and really is full of rubbish. I would rather get away with a…
