I don't absorb iron from veggies, so I need to regularly eat red meat (beef or horse are best). So, whenever there is a business lunch I pick the sandwiches or dishes with beef, to avoid having to buy more of it at home. Husband and daughters have no problem absorbing iron from veggies.

DD needs iron supplements every day, @Siebrie. She doesn't absorb iron well either, so she has some sachets which she mixes with orange juice, but they don't taste very nice! 😣 She was told to have vitamin c with iron to help with absorption.2025 Fashion on the ration

Apologies if this has been posted before but I was so excited to discover this.
Apparently UPVC doors and windows have a "winter" setting where you can tighten the seals to reduce draughts.
All you need is the appropriately sized Allen key.
Found a tutorial on YouTube it's so easy.Find out who you are and do that on purpose (thanks to Owain Wyn Jones quoting Dolly Parton)6 -
I often fancy a hot Horlicks drink in winter but invariably find that the powder solidifies in the jar before it's half used, thus becoming useless. (And no, I never dip a wet spoon into the jar,).
Any suggestions on how I can stop this happening please?4 -
