HelloFresh
Ive just received my first delivery, it’s 4 x 4 meals for a ridiculous £7 :D It steps up in price sharply afterwards though! For 5 nights of 2 meals it’s nearly £50. I live alone, but leftovers could be lunches & the other two nights. It’s roughly £5 a meal, which isn’t much more than a ready meal for one & less than a…

Keeping a diary - is it old fashioned?
I don't know why I care about what others think or say but I was in WH Smiths earlier looking at diaries for next year and a young woman was browsing, she said she wanted a diary for her Mum, she said that its old fashioned to have a diary nowadays but her Mum insists on having one. Is it old fashioned? I did once use…

Annoying cough
I am getting over a cold and am at the stage of not being able to sleep because of an annoying and painful cough. I have tried my usual honey and lemon but that's not helping. Any recommendations gratefully received!

Ideas for 'bland' Food
I'm taking low dose chemo for autoimmune disease and, as I'm so lucky in these things, I get the side effects :( My sense of taste is all over the place, I can't deal with salty, spicy, acidic or strongly/distinctly flavoured foods (couldn't even put a piece of green pepper in my mouth a coupe of days ago and it made the…

Cheap flights to Sydney.
Hi all, I'm hoping someone out there can advise me on booking the CHEAPEST possible return flight to Sydney! Is there a 'cheapest' time to book? I'm happy to stop over or even fly to a different city in Aus if it makes things cheaper! I've been on Skyscanner, Kayak & Momondo as MSE has advised but hoping there's still a…

The Big Penny Jar Problem...
Couldn't find a more suitable section of the forum to post this so hope it's OK here unless someone can suggest a better sub forum? Anyway, onto the problem. I have got a giant rectangular money bottle that i've been putting change into for the last couple of years. It's probably about 20cmx20cm but is about 3 foot high.…

Halogen oven
I am considering buying a Halogen oven as my friend raves about his,the one he has was purchased years ago and is no loner available so I can't buy the one that he has. Could anyone suggest a make or model or a shop that sells one at a reasonable price that has been found to be a reliable product,it needs to be for 2 to 3…

How often do you wash things like bedclothes and towels?
Just wondering as my mum changes the bed at least once a week and should a guest stay over she washes the sheets and quilt cover the same day (though has plenty of spares) Towels often are used for a day then put in machine. Me? I use my common sense, towels when they start getting limp, not fresh smelling, or stained…

Small machines in launderettes
Sorry if this isn't the right forum? I'm currently without a washing machine, and I'm probably not getting one till I move (soon, hopefully)..... My local launderettes small washing machines don't seem to let any water in on the 2nd and 3rd rinses, so there's a wash, and one rinse and that's it. The big machines do have 3…

What's happened to cheddar cheese?
I'm scratching my head. Is it just me imagining things or has the recipe/process for making shop-bought cheddar quietly changed over the last few years, maybe, without anyone bothering to tell the customers? I don't seem to be able to get 'cheese on toast' to do what it used to, namely bubble and brown under the grill. It…
