Slower Cooker Advice Please

Have been thinking for some time of a slow cooker and two are on offer - a Swan with ceramic inside and a Crock Pot one with stoneware inside. Dishwasher safe etc doesnt matter as I dont have a dishwasher (well…

Do I need to chuck the chook?
Hi all, Roasted a chicken on Monday evening and had leftovers Tuesday. Then last night I used the rest of it to make a pie but our visitors couldn't make it so now there's half a very tasty pie sat in the fridge and I don't know whether it can be eaten? I've searched here and online with varying outcomes about reheating…

Productivity/ energy tips
I am feeling quite, well, lazy now that the days and nights are getting darker and colder. I just want to curl up with a blanket, a book and a hot cup of something whenever i feel like it. BUT I must not give in to my hibernation tendencies. I have loads of things to get done everyday and MUST help myself to be more…

Am I going to burn down my house?
Made a suet pudding with left over roast dinner for our tea tonight - but stupidly used a different bowl than I usually do and so it won't fit in the slow-cooker. I have instead put the pudding in a large oven tray with a couple of inches of water in, double wrapped the pudding then wrapped the whole thing in foil. The…

Any good thai coconut soup recipes?
Hi all, I love thai coconut soups - if anyone has eaten at Busaba Eathei they do a lovely Northern Thai laksa that is basically what I'm trying to recreate. I've tried a few times with different recipes, and it always ends up coming out more bland than I would like. I have a really good hot and sour soup recipe which has a…

Is it ok to be getting lift to work?
Hi, I've just started a new job. I was going to ask someone last week if I could get a lift home just on that day, but then she said from next week she could give me lifts to and from work. I live on the route so stopping isn't that much of a hassle. I offered petrol money, but she said no. I was thinking from next month I…

Keeping Brights Bright
Hi all, Laundry help needed here... I spend quite a lot on nice underwear and like bright colours, but I'm finding that they go dull and faded really quickly after a few washes. It's not the quality of the clothes that's the problem, so must he how I wash them. I only do two different loads; one is 'nearly whites' which is…

Getting the smell out of synthetic football boots?
Hi, I played in a 24 hour football match last week, and my ~2 month old synthetic football boots smell absolutely awful. I've put them through the washing machine twice and sprayed them with Oust but it just seems to make them worse. We were talking about it and most people's solution was to simply buy a leather pair - but…

What's your DOP*?
I'm sure even the most organised of us OS-ers have one, that thing that goes missing no matter how many replacements you buy! It needn't be expensive, just needed at a crucial moment. What's yours? For me it's my the pencil sharpener I use for make-up. Infuriating when you are one-eyebrow down :o * Disappearing Object…

What did you play? OS games.
My granddaughter came across an old set of dibs in a drawer today. Trying to explain how you played with them I realised that I've not seen children playing with them for about 60 years. For all you youngsters, dibs are 5 little cubes of chalk (they would be plastic now) and the game consists of throwing one or more in the…
