Since it was still winter, there wasn't really any…

Do you keep packaging?
Cardboard boxes from large items (flattened), bubble wrap, large polythene bags, thin sheets of foam, jiffy bags, that sort of thing. I'm bad with it. I keep a lot of stuff. packaging can be useful for all sorts of things, but I try to not hoard "too much". but every time I can use it, I'm glad I kept it.

Hot tub mod to make use of overnight cheap rate
Hi all, We have a great hot tub that we use regularly but the cost of power is silly.

In a couple of months, I’m having my bathroom ripped out and redone. I’ll be doing quite a bit myself, but leaving the electrics and pipework rearrangement to the professionals. What I’m stressing about is the unit that will run along one wall — it’s 164cm across, and I still haven’t figured out the best way to fill the…

Has anyone else had problems with a Dualit kettle - or Dualit item?
I bought a Dualit Kettle (the Studio) which had a two-year guarantee, and as the two years ended it developed problems including being temperamental turning on, light stopping working, then in the 2-3 yr interval the lid stopped 'holding' when filling so as it falls closed you get badly splashed; the lid also can spring…

Hisense Fridge LED light
Hi all, The LED light inside my fridge sometimes works, sometimes doesn't. It can go for months and be fine, but then stop working for a few days, and I have no idea what is going on. It's got to either be the mechanism that makes it come on when the door is opened, or the bulb itself, but I can't figure it out. This has…

They claim to be able to do loft and cavity wall insulation as well as any damp works in her house free of chage irrespective of her income as she suffers from asthma.

Roofer due diligence
Hello, I've had some quotes for roof repair. Ideally I'd have chosen one of the companies registered with NFRC (national federation of roofing contractors) but I actually prefer the quote from a company that isn't registered with them (let's call them Company X). So, I want a sense check on whether Company X might be…
