Breville Halo Plus- anyone got one?
We love chips and anything fried in our house but our hearts and waistlines don't! Spotted this healthy fryer on offer for £79 and really, really, really want one. I have gone away and thought about it for a week and looked at reviews online and they are all very positive. A couple of friends have the Tefal Actifry and use…

Clothes ban
Buying them not wearing them. I'm a bit unhappy with my over stuffed wardrobes and buying stuff I really don't need so I have donated a lot to charity and starting a year free of buying nothing new or used

Vacuum storage question
OH went off to Co*tco with a list and came home with a food saver! He reckons it will save space in our (admittedly too small) freezer. We have a small under counter freezer and no space for anything bigger. OH promptly vacuumed bagels and scones bought during the shop but at his rate I will have a freezer full of vacuum…

Best free website
When searching for the best free website there are loads that claim to be free then when you try you find out they were lying. They waste your time and then you have to pay right away. Are there any that are really free for the first few months or several, then if you like you can pay?

Assuming of course that the product is in the same condition I received it. Seals unbroken, in original packaging and so forth If I am correct when does that cooling off period start:…

Shopping for Clothes
Now that we have the ban on plastic bags, I'm having problems shopping for clothes. I always carry a foldaway bag in my handbag for grocery-type shopping of the unplanned sort (it doesn't hold much, so it's very money-saving), but I find myself a bit stymied when it comes to buying clothes. The shop assistants fold them up…

It all started innocently enough with my hairdresser offering various beauty treatments for a loyalty bonus. I chose gel nails cos I have pretty awful ones…

At what temperature do you wash towels?
I'm just wondering what temperature everyone uses to wash their towels? I've always washed them at 60 but I've just read an article that suggests washing them at 40 or below. Apparently The Dorchester Hotel washes them at 30 which I am not sure about at all! I don't want to be throwing money down the drain if a lower…
