Could we start a meal plan thread again, so it's not lost in the GC?
Just thought this would be quicker reference than what's for dinner or searching through lots of posts? There used to be one a while back, Meal Plan Monday or obviously whatever day you start yours on 🙂 I did post mine in the Grocery challenge, but will post again for anybody that doesn't join in with that thread. Vegan…

Help with dying jeans
I have two pairs of jeans, sold as black but they are more a dark grey and I've realised that whilst very comfy I have hardly worn them. The blue ones I bought at the same time are nearly worn out. I have gone down an internet rabbit hole trying to find out if they can be dyed properly black. So much conflicting…

O/S Daily Friday January 30 3026
Good morning, it's cold and damp as usual here. This tablet that I'm posting on seems to be on the blink so I'll keep this short. Unwanted letters are appearing in the middle of words and capitals are doubling. I'm doing more correcting than anything else. Thoughts to our sad and poorly people. Take care folks whatever…

Prepping: the new world...
Thought it was about time for a new Prepping thread... Please keep it on topic, friendly and realistic for life in the UK (i.e. no hurricane basements, no guns, no politics). For those that don't know, the Guides & Scouts among us will be prepared, but are the rest of us ready? IMPORTANT NOTE: this thread is a resource for…

Wheres Stardrops Gone?
Hi Folks. Have finally run out of a bulk batch of Stardrops original and green version that I bought years and years ago on the advice of this forum. It really has been great, effective on nearly everything I have tried it on and a real money saver! Before Christmas I started looking about to "restock" but can not seem to…

Weekly Flylady Thread 19th January 2026
We often see new flyers (gents welcome!) around this time
of year so please don't worry if you feel you cannot keep up. Similarly
if your house has been neglected it won't be turned around in a day - but if
you stay you will get into some good habits which do help! Happy flying. Thank you, Valli, for last week's thread.…

The Second Purse Thread
Hello everyone, I’ve been thinking of reviving the Second Purse Challenge
for a while and a post by @Frugalistamama spurred me on. For those who don’t know about this way of grocery budgeting,
I’ve linked the original posting by @Mothership below. I intend to set aside £30 of my monthly food budget to look
for bargains to…

tasty stock without onions or garlic?
I'm wondering if anyone has any ideas to make my stock taste better! For medical reasons I'm having to do a low FODMAP diet which means I can't put onion or garlic in my stock. I also can't use normal supermarket stock cubes although if I get totally stuck I can buy some sort of compliant stock powder from the Internet.…
