Hello all, what a great thread! will def be subscribing!
Re: Teabags. I am a huge tea drinker but have managed to switch to lidl cheapo ones, 27p. I've been buying them for over a month now and I personally think they are quite nice and none of my friends have complained yet!
Thought it was worth a mention

I'm definitely more of a bulk buyer. My last bag of teabags was bought last year (can't remember when) from costco. Typhoo bags, 1100 for £9.99, but it was 50% extra free so 1650. It takes forever to drink that much.0

I second Lidl's 80 teabags for 28p... we are big tea drinkers (& there are 6 of us so we get through them quickly) and find them better than the more expensive ones0

To everyone who's asked (PM'd me and anyone who's curious)), I haven't give up...I will be doing an update soon (and was meant to do one earlier)
. Unfortunately, I've had (and still have) a bug :eek:...it's not been to pretty
. I don't do generally do 'ill', so I knew it was bad when the dog stuck to me like glue and kept nudging me and whining :rotfl:. The lovely wife even give me a look of sympathy, instead of mockery (I know, I was shocked too
:D:p). I've been trying to do little jobs, ie laundry etc.
. So that's pleased her
:D.
I'm only having a quick look on MSE today, but will do an update at the weekend :j. Hope your all keeping well...and having a good MSE week :beer:.😇 Sealed Pot Challenge: Member No: 20: 2012 = £92.14; 2013 = £45.27; 2014 = £54.70; 2015 = ; 2016 = £70.38 2022 = £10.58 2023 = ???? 🍀 2023 DECLUTTERING CAMPAIGN Mrs SD 65/365 so far. 👾 The Other Way, or the MSE Way: My Personal Challenge 🍀 The Other Way, or the MSE Way: My Personal Challenge 20120 -

I'm loving this thread and it's positivity. and will certainly be stealing some of the ideas within this.
(MIT - I'd love to knit but have stalled on a pattern that calls for stocking stitch - does this mean I have to start with a knit row or pearl row)
N1 - I nearly splurted tea all over my screen reading about the SP-1. Hope you have much better luck with SP-mark2. Agree with Gemini that the bugs this year are just horrendous. My LO has been struck by this 3 week cold and DH is now not-dying with man-flu (i'm not all that sympathetic - but I am finishing growing a human person over the next 5 months).
