Have you noticed how MSing sneaks up on you
Hi MSers Have you noticed how moneysaving sneaks up on you? I was thinking the other day how things become second nature. I now automatically turn off lights when I leave a room, I turn the boiler off when its not needed (rather than leaving it to the timer, all those extra half an hours add expense to the gas bill) and…

Hi, I know you lot are inventive, so I'm hoping someone can come up with an idea for the wine rack in my kitchen.

I have just found this site (posted on Christmas forum too for those of you with a sense of deja-vu) Has some lovely bits for baking with your children and for them - i.e. cake tins. I thought the prices seemed reasonable too considering some are unusual novelty items. Off to have a thorough mooch now and buy lots of bits…

Silly Pumpkin question....
I know this will sound really silly but when a recipe calls for a certain amount of pumpkin - which bit exactly is it? If I were going to make a jack-o-lantern I would slice off the top and scoop out all the insides with the seeds in - is this the bit I should use OR is it the actual outer skin of pumpkin (and if so do I…

Anyway was thinking about the old-fashioned sugar water people used to use, does anyone know the proportions and how to make it? Also would it be…

Durabrand Slow Cooker - HELP!
Bought one of these yesterday, reduced to £7, as we like curries and casseroles, and the meat tends to burn to the bottom of the pan on the gas ring. However, the instructions are the soul of brevity - no mention of what each of the power levels are. Can someone who has used one of these please tell me what you use LOW,…

What can i use to grind coffee beans other than a grinder?
The husband went out to buy ground coffee & despite picking a bag with coffee BEANS written on the front it he didn't notice until he opened the packet that they weren't ground! We don't have a coffee bean grinder & was just wondering if a blender or food processer would work? Thanks
