Katkin: over on the fence thread we have a saying. It was originally, " Chin up. Tits Out."
But my very respectable tablet wouldn't let me write 'tits'. So ever since it has been,
"Chin up. Titus Out."
Try it petal, it will give you a grin if nothing else.
Pollyanna: Don't you worry. Karma had him in its sights. He got his comeuppance, big time.
Hope everyone has at least some restful sleep tonight.
Tomorrow we will all wake up refreshed and, (all together now).........
CHIN UP. TITUS OUT.

I have a 34-36 G cup so they'll stick far out more than my chin - cood advice ladies :rotfl:
Need my confidence back I'm managing at home, just but not so well elsewhere...something I need to work on - bust forward I go!!! X0 -
Well done katkin. At least you have something to work with.
If ever your confidence flags just call up a mental image of all your virtual friends marching along beside you, all trying to make sure that their Titus are leading the way. In my case it's a toss-up whether it will be Titus or tummy that leads the way.
TMD, thinking of you and hope you are coping. Keep going flower.

There was an advert - two adverts really.
Hug in a mug for the cup-a-soup - I really, really wanted one of those hug pillows whenever that ad was on.
And then the 'belly's gonna get ya' ad - I think it was a brand of trainers.
Not sure why your post made me think of the soup one, but I chant the belly thing at jellybean while we're running round sometimes.
He turned around and poked the MILs stomach shouting belly while we were visiting the park other day - Thankfully she laughed :rotfl:Almost everything will work again if you unplug it for a few minutes, including you. Anne Lamott
It's amazing how those with a can-do attitude and willingness to 'pitch in and work' get all the luck, isn't it?
Please consider buying some pet food and giving it to your local food bank collection or animal charity. Animals aren't to blame for the cost of living crisis.0 -
Hi everyone.
I am just in the process of reading the whole thread, but wanted to say Hi. I have ME/CFS and Fibromyalgia and I struggle a lot. I used to (and still do really) go through phases where I feel so guilty about everything. As in hardly being able to cook, struggling to clean etc etc. I have had to give up work as I found it too hard.
I wanted to say, I use the ecloths that were mentioned at the beginning of the thread. And I love them. They really are good at cleaning and all with water, which is great. The mop system is fab too. I really struggle with smells so the water side of things is a bonus. I also use method kitchen spray as it is plant based and smells lovely, without being artificial. Aldi have also started doing their own eco friendly cleaning stuff, which I bought some of..just waiting to try it though as my method stuff hasn't run out yet.
I was wondering if anyone has ever used those food saver bags that are supposed to prolong the life of fruit and veg and if so, were they any good? I have been looking at some cheap ones on Amazon which get good reviews, but I am never sure you can trust them!0 -
The Lakeland green food saver bags are amazing, really work and are reuseable after a wash and dry. I've had two packs in all the time they've been making them. They do wear eventually but they are tough and last for an incredibly long time.0

I use the food saver bags - the ones for bread and veg are good but the ones for cheese are brilliant. They keep the cheese in the fridge from going mouldy. I buy all mine in the £1 shop.0

Thank you both. MrsLW - can the Lakeland ones be used for anything or do they have specific ones for different things, do you know?
Grunnie - is it a particular £1 shop, or do they all do them?0 -
I've never really tried to use them for anything else other than fruit and veg, I know they work because they have some sort of clay powder incorporated into the plastic material of the bag and this absorbs gasses given off from the fresh produce and stops them ripening. Have a look on the Lakeland website and that will tell you if they have a specific for cheese etc.0

Hi all! couldn't read and run. I'm so glad I found this thread - I'm visually impaired and find OS incredibly difficult with not being able to see very well, I had no idea there was so many great things and people out there.
Oh and Katkin - I'm a 32H, I know that pain! You're a paid up member of the upper decker flopper stopper club lol0
