Help! My dishwasher is a monster!!
There, that got your attention. Our dishwasher was an antique when we moved into the house seven years ago, and on many occasions it threatened to stop working mid-cycle, but somehow we always managed to coax it back to life. More recently, the mechanism that holds the door in place fell prey to rust and the door fell…
Aldi - thermal ski base layer for children, still in stock?
Sorry, I know it's not food, but I thought this might be the best board to find some regular Aldi shoppers. The children's thermals, which came out on 26/11, are they still in store, or has another offer replaced them? Many thanks!

Google Home Mini - £34 on the high street?
You can still buy the Google Home Mini for £34 if you order directly from Google online. All other retailers seem to be back at the higher price of £49.

Christmas cake recipe dating from 1970s/80s
Many moons ago I had a wonderful Christmas cake recipe taken from one of the supermarket magazines (?Living?) produced in the 1970s or 1980s. It involved soaking the dried fruit in half a pint of sherry for about a week and the results were wonderful! Does anyone by any chance have a link to the recipe, or something very…
