Slow Living - Doing It Old Style!
It's a bit early to be starting this thread but it's the last day of 2023 that I will have the time so I'm doing it now! I have decided that 2024 is going to be the opportunity to put into practice all the things that I have thought about, wanted to do and dabbled with in 2023. I have a few diaries on the forum which touch…

Best cream tea scones
In using up (woe is me) a tub of clotted cream, I've inadvertently compared two brands of scones - Tesco finest and coop irresistible. While Tesco's are larger and softer, they tend to fall apart when applying the clotted cream (which by the laws of science and decency, should be applied first). Coops are smaller, but…

How often to do washing?
Partly a money saving question but partly a sanity saving question as I feel like I'm always washing clothes. How many washes a week would you do as a single person who wears a uniform for work? I like to wash my bedding once weekly (is that too much?). Then I do two clothing washes but I'm wondering if I could manage one…

'Gone Off' Vegetable Suet!
I've got a vegetable broth in the slow cooker and really want dumplings to go with it. I found some vegetarian Atora light suet in the cupboard... but its best before date is January 2010. The packet inside has been opened but it's still in the box and there isn't any obvious smells... but still... I don't know. Would you…

It's that time again, as we face the end of one year and embark on a new. So if you're up for a challenge, feel free to join in. You'll know how this goes if you've done any of the previous years, but for newbies the idea is you have a list of 25 goals that you do 25 times during the year or just a list of 25 goals to hit…

The War against plastic waste
I don't know if we have a specific thread on here for sharing tips against reducing our plastic use - perhaps we could share them, but here's a current "bee in my bonnet". We recently received our National Trust magazine which came packaged in an oute wrapper which said: "I am 100% compostable and contain Potato Starch.…

2025 DECLUTTERING CAMPAIGN MrsSD - The Joy of Decluttering
To use Guineapigsqueaks/Sa1sysoo words “A new thread for declutterbugs in (2015 2016 2017 2018 2019 2020 2021 2022 2023 2024) 2025 !" My 2024 was another washout on the decluttering & decorating fronts. That is what happens when I don’t plan ahead 😔 Neither DH nor I have managed to summon up any enthusiasm for anything…

2025 Fashion On The Ration Challenge
(The Fashion On The Ration Challenge is about restraining our shopping impulses and buying the clothing we need as well as what we want. As @Laura_Elsewhere said "If this group is about anything, it's about understanding how we buy and what we buy and when we buy...". We use the original, 1942, clothing rations.) ---------…
