Old style is the New style.
Good Morning Everybody, Another typical overcast Bank Holiday weekend. I always used to feel guilty about not having super adventures at every long weekend/school holiday, but, I am not sure if it's age, or apathy, but I am really looking forward to a weekend of jammies, sewing things I may be able to sell (I do not know…

Hello I bought a lovely wooden beech unit (drawers in middle and a door each side) in a charity shop as it looked in great condition. However, after bringing it home and opening the drawers and doors there's a smoke type smell? It's quite a strong odour and wondering if anyone has any tips on what I could use to take the…

Should I return new slow cooker?
Well I decided to replace my 3.5 litre slow cooker and have bought the Morphy Richards sear and stew one, mainly because of the lightness of it, I don't really sear meat on the hob first. However, now I am wondering if I would be better off with a 1.5 litre slow cooker. My friend says that size would be better for me…

Would you return cheap tat?
Today for example I spent £1.40 on a wrist support wrap that on picture showed it covering whole hand bar fingers and quite far up wrist. I got it and it didn't even wrap around my arm let alone my whole wrist. And bought various things from places like Poundland that are useless. To me even £1 can be used to buy something…

Best way to cook chicken breasts
I live on my own and the only meat I eat regularly is chicken. Apart from this I eat pasta and fish, also soup at times. My slow cooker has had it and is in the bin. I don't know whether or not to buy a new one as I will be mainly cooking chicken breasts in it. I find cooking chicken in the slow cooker ensures it is cooked…

Food for long haul flight
I'm taking a 11 hour flight later this year for a work trip (as I have done several times in the past) + 3 hr to the airport + 1 hr the other end, so quite a long journey. My employer pays a daily allowance for food (rather than needing receipts) so it is in my interest to spend as little as possible. I also prefer…

But despite my regular cleaning the plastic seats are becoming stained underneath, especially the edges of the seats.
