How to easily clean a wood burning stove glass window
I was on a cleaning products website this morning looking for a specialist product and the Stove Glass cleaner caught my eye. Ours needs doing badly, so I checked it out and found it to be £7.99. So I went and researched a more MS solution to my problem. It turns out the only solution you need is water, a soft cloth and to…

Lawns.......help please.........
I left my lawn to 'meadow' for 2 years. Long story. This summer spent time raking the grasses so they were standing and then I strimmed them. I now have the most beautiful lush green lawn. Am not sure how that happened but the rest seems to have done it a lot of good. Very few tiny patches and such a deep green. Makes me…

Veg Boxes
Hi all. I was just wondering what you're experiences are with delivered veg boxes. Do they actually save you money or are they just a bit of luxury. I hate being stuck to a meal plan and like to be inventive with my cooking so thinking if I have a load of veg in it might stop me having to go so often to the supermarket…

Smelly soupmaker
I have a Morphy Richards Saute and Soupmaker which I love (got it in sale, worth every penny.) But I recently forgot to wash it up (which is a faff) and it had mouldy water sitting in it for a week or so. I have now washed it several times in scalding water and poured boiling water in it and on the lid, but it still smells…

Food flask
Morning all. I start a new job on Monday and as I don't know what the situation is with shared microwaves and of course covid I've invested £5.60 in Morrisons on a food flask. In the past in colder days I've taken home made soup or risotto or more occasionally leftovers to work and heated in the microwave. I'm planning on…

Organic Plain Flour (Marriage's Brand)
Hi there! I'm not sure if this is the right forum to ask but I hope someone can answer please. I bought plain white flour. Brand is Marriage's. When I was making Tangzhong mixture (milk roux), it had a strange smell. Then the bread had a somewhat weird taste like chemical or grassy or small insect. I knoew the flour is not…

Freezing food
I always freeze potatoes and parsnips as backup for if we run out and don't want to have to go to the shops. With covid I've started to think about other things to freeze in case of self isolating or panic buyers(!!) I'm at the moment trying Suede and was thinking of trying sprouts. I bought a bag of frozen sprouts once…
