Washing underwear with tea towels?
My doctor has recently advised me that underwear should always be washed at 60°C or above.

She said that underwear should never be washed with anything…

I have a (planned) drop in income coming from Jan 2024 which will last until August 2024. The drop is not huge but will be noticeable - it’s a similar amount weekly as I spend on groceries. I have 8 months to put together as much in savings as I can to bridge the gap but find cash saved often ends up diverted to other…

Amazon faulty installation
On 16th April I had a new washing machine installed by Amazon, I’ve had a plumber round today to investigate a leak in my kitchen, and the plumber pulled out the machine and saw the leak, a badly fitted inlet pipe to the machine.
