Please help me make the food in my cupboards last as long as possible.
We've finally been hit with the realisation that we've been consistently spending more than we have each month and it's time to overhaul our finances.

Malt loaf recipe
Hi, I've recently discovered that I like malt loaf, the soreen type. Though it's not expensive I'm wondering if there's a recipe for it so that I could make it myself? I might make it bigger and freeze it? My DD likes it as well so could give it to her as a snack or in her lunch box. TIA

Hard-wearing bed linen
OSers, speak to me of bed linen that will stand up to serious abuse and not turn yellow after a few months. So far all our linens have been coloured (blue, burgundy etc), but after a while they start to discolour, especially the top of the duvet covers and the pillow cases.
