Can I put made up batter in the fridge for a few days?
I bought Aunt Bessie's Chocolate pancake mix in the shake up bottle. It makes 6 and I live on my own and I would find 6 too much. Could I put the made up stuff in the fridge for a few days? Or should I make them all tonight, eat what I can and put the cooked ones, once cooled down in the fridge? No instructions on the…

Microwave pressure cooker
Am posting here as I think it may get lost on existing pressure cooker threads on OS. This new contraption is said to save oodles of time, which is great for the busy or terminallly lazy (ie me :o ).

Eggs from Shops

Removing pen from books
I am not sure if this is the place, but thought there might be an old school way of doing this:) My son has written on a book of mine, well one i borrowed from a friend at work. He has written his name (which normally would be a good thing as he is still learning to write) in pen on the front few pages of a book, anyone…

Hey, Just a quick question, which should probably be placed in the food and groceries forum but thought I might get more responses here... So today I stupidly picked up the wrong milk at Tesco - sweetened soya milk rather than the unsweetened which I have in my porridge as am diabetic and would rather not have the extra…

Saving on appliances/household items
Whenever I buy a small appliance/household item I do a quick google search to see who has the best price. I don't necessarily buy it from the cheapest source but it gives me a ball park figure to haggle with the shop I do buy it from. Anyone have any other tips for getting the best price on things? I ask as I'm looking to…
