Is this a scam?
I recently received a letter from City Financial Investment Company Ltd saying they need to confirm my tax status. They then go on to say that new regulations require a fund(not named) in which I invest to establish whether I am a reportable person for the purposes of the regulations. Given that any income I have from any…

I saw a post…

Dropped pumpkin!
Son, having scraped out seeds & raffle, then scraped a layer of the flesh for me to make soup with before carving. He stepped back to admire the artwork, & it escaped & succumbed to gravity. Suggestions on how to cook a broken pumpkin & separate bowl of flesh, please?!

Buying spuds in bulk
Rather than buy pre-packed or weigh your own potatoes from the supermarket, we go to a local fruit and veg shop and order a 25Kg sack. The shop owner is always out and about in his van, so we ask him to drop them off which he does for free. The sack lasts us around a month if kept in a cool dark place, the quality is much…

Meat offer in weekly newsletter
Am trying to work out if the meat offer in the newsletter is a good deal? Technically I could get similar cuts/size for less in aldi/lidl. Is the taste/quality worth the extra cost. What do you guys think?
