Cheap distilled / deionised water - where to buy?
I'm looking for shops in the UK that sell inexpensive deionised / distilled water, if anyone has any recommendations? I used to buy mine from Wilko, and the only ones I can seem to find now are DIY chains selling Carplan, which is vastly overpriced. I've tried B+M, Poundland, Home Bargains (albeit a smaller town store) and…

Buying new rolexes
How does one go about buying a new Rolex? To buy Hermes' sought after bags, you need to wine and dine your personal sales rep, buy lower level products; belts, scarves shoes that kind of thing before they offer you a Birkin or a Kelly. How does it work with Rolexes? Is it easier to just fly to Switzerland and find a…

Comfortable slip-on trainers to wear without socks
Hello, for whatever reason I always seem to reach for my old ugly Crocs when heading out, and I’m after an alternative that looks a bit better. Have just seen the Literides and they’re really appealing because they seem to be the usual Croc material (ie super breathable and no fabric) but look a bit more like a regular…

Heavy duty airbed (or good alternative)
Hi, currently using an airbed so I can sometimes sleep in the same room as our son, it was fine but it’s developed a puncture and I haven’t had much luck in fixing it I’m after either a heavy duty alternative that’s hopefully less likely to break, or maybe an alternative - although the fact an airbed rolls up so small is…

What's worth the investment?
This is a bit of an open ended question, but my partner and I are in a place right now where we could put some money towards buying more expensive house/kitchen/garden items that are worth the investment and will last longer. From your experience, what items have long outlasted your initial investment and you'd recommend…

Ninja? or not?
The discount on Ninja shown this week looks very good, but! We have had 3 Ninja multicookers in the last 4 years, 2 packed up, the fan it seems, and one didnt work when it arrived so replaced.

Copper frying pans
Are there any chefs out there who could suggest which decent quality copper pans to buy? Don't mind spending a bit as will probably only buy once in my lifetime. However have looked at Mauviel pans and they are so extremely expensive that I would be frightened to use them.

Flowers or plants by post
Hi. Recommendations for flowers or plants by post as a housewarming gift, please. I've been the recipient of flowers by local florists - and the results have been mixed, to put it politely. Would I be better off with a big company rather than going directly to a local florist? Any other ideas for a housewarming gift by…

Now, 2 months after the shoes arrived, I went to wear them for work and found that these are actually the size of a 8.5 even though size 8 is plastered everywhere. Clarks' have refused to…
