Are our possessions worth nothing?
I am sharing my story as I am very dissapionted in charities these days. I lost my Mother just over a year ago. Her will left her house to her Grandchildren, not myself, or my sister. I was named executor. It took me a year to sell the property, the estate agent advised me to leave the furniture there, as an empty house…

How do you bulk out mince?
I've read that you can bulk out mince with things like oats, grated vegetables or lentils. How much would you need for say a 500g pack of mince? I'm 28 and only starting to learn how to cook now ;)

Which moth strips actually work?
Hello Moths are suddenly appearing in my house, even though I tend to keep the windows closed (certainly at night). I spoke to a man from rentokil and apparently what they do is spray the whole house HARD with insecticide spray and then make sure that they come back again (2?) weeks later to get the second life cycle.…

I wasn't sure whether to post this here or on the DFW board, but as it doesn't really concern debt I thought I'd see what the the Old Stylers think :) Having just had an appliance break (beyond repair) and not having any money at the moment to replace it, I said to OH today I'm determined to start saving, even if it's just…

Hi all, Not quite a money saving question but I know there are a great deal of knowledgeable domestic gods and godesses in this part of the forum. I recieved some advice a while back about my shopping and eating habits, which led me to do a lot more shopping at the butchers to bulk buy meat and freeze it. This is all…
