provide the support we all need and to make the whole…

Lent Sacrifices
Tomorrow is Shrove Tuesday, which made me wonder whether anyone is giving anything up for Lent? 40 days isn't that long to give something up knowing you can return to it, but it is long enough to kick off a habit. Thoughts?

Nothing at all wrong with putting Bananas in the Fridge ( if … )
Perfectly all right if o you put them on the top shelf (warmest area of fridge and same temp as ship storage ) o they are green and you want to let them sit longer to ripen than storing elsewhere o you just want them to keep longer o you don’t mind the outside getting a bit brown sometimes

Doggy smell
Any suggestions as to what I can use to get rid of the odour of old dog from my new to me car upholstery. The garage has valeted it but it's still lingering. I don't want to use too much air freshener because I'll just be replacing an organic stink for a chemical stink. Thanks

O/S Daily Sunday 16th March 2025
Good morning it's a dry start here, hope it stays that way. Now back from our little holiday on the N Yorks coast, we enjoyed the break and change of scene. The weather wasn't bad at all, cold of course but we knew it would be. We didn't go anywhere in the car while we were there, just walked round the town every day! Glad…

Beef Brisket help
Hello, We have a freezer full of beef - I've worked my way through all the good stuff and have now been left with a LOT of brisket. I've tried slow roasting it and it just tasted so stringy. Does anyone have any tried and tested fab recipes they could recommend? I'd be very grateful!
