Do I have a drink problem?
Tonight, I've had several drinks. Around 1/3rd of a bottle of 40% whisky. Probably, a bit more, as I finished off the dregs of the previous bottle. I didn't drink anything at all yesterday or the day before. I don't feel drunk, just relaxed. And, I am able to type this accurately. Any thought? In a way, a concern is that I…

Why do we buy so much food?
This might sound strange and is not necessarily something that everyone does, but why do we buy so much food? I'm having to empty my kitchen and made a start with the food cupboard. I was shocked by the amount of stuff I have, including staples I never use because I don't cook! So much of it was OOD, not just a bit but…

O/S Daily Wednesday 16 June 2021
Afternoon to those that have been able to find their way about the shambles of an "improved" website. As you can tell I'm not keen, it seems to be very messy and harder to find what you're looking for. I think this is going to put people off again. Keep safe and well x nmlc x

Decontaminating my Kenwood wheat mill
Sorry if this is a slightly off-topic question. I have one of the older models of wheat mill
for my Kenwood chef: the one with the metal rollers, not the modern plastic one
which looks like a mincer. About a year ago I detonated a bug bomb in my wardrobe. Unfortunately I forgot until too late that on
the shelf above my…

Suggestions what to do with used candle jars
Being someone who doesn't like to throw out things that could be used again, but also being very averse to clutter, I'm looking for suggestions on what to do with jars that scented candles (now burnt) came in, particularly the large Yankee candle type of jars that have lids on. I have no need of storage jars in my life, so…
