    Jesus Christ, offal, re-melt candles? What on earth is this country coming to, next we will be wiping our @rses on yesterdays Metro newspaper! :eek:
    Since when has the world of computer software design been about what people want? This is a simple question of evolution. The day is quickly coming when every knee will bow down to a silicon fist, and you will all beg your binary gods for mercy.

    Hello, can you help please, phone rang during the programme and i missed the tip for doing something to your radiator to get more heat for less money (i think)
    TIA

    It wasn't about heating for less, it was about fixing the knob if it sticks.

    yes but as the programme is showing how to do thing for nearly next to nothing say by eating offal, remelting used candles etc. surely first class rail travel is a wee bit hypocritical???

    Not really. They've been quite blatant about the fact the programme is about living the lifestyle you are used to for less. And you don't know how much she paid for the ticket, or how much the comparative cost of cattle class was at the time the ticket was bought.
  • Please please please if anyone tries the washing liquid in the car lock, thoroughly wash the area of the paintwork where it runs. It will destroy the paint.

    Ever seen the pink once red cars? That's down to washing the cars with washing up liquid.

    Im a younger viewer (23) and found the first series really good but im not as keen on this series. I'm still watching and learning something new but if anything the majority of it is just making me think 'he he I can do that for £x less' or 'Already do that'. It must be the positive effect MSE has had on me!

    ooooooh and for anyone interested in the glitter nails from last week, I gave it a little go,:cool: think I need finer glitter, but they looked good and the glitter came off so much easier than glitter nail polish (which i personally find a nightmare to remove some of them!)

    Def. wont be cooking liver or kidneys though! Sorry!!!:o
  • Travel is tax deductable and the TV programme paid for it, GO Mrs Moneypenny!!

    nobody buys meat like that anymore. You would be hard pushed to even find those cuts of meat.
    Thought everyone knew you could phone Sky and haggle but if you didnt i suppose it was a good tip.
    :footie:
