Not loving the new layout Seems to be missing quite a lot of the features that the old version had...

This post looks enormous, as it all seems to be double spaced.

It is indeed missing a lot of features. 😢 However, it is still in development, so some features may reappear. 🤔

By default, it seems to now be double-spaced. I believe the thinking is it is clearer for visually impaired Forumites. One could probably change posts into single space with some HTML alterations but that's a bit of a faff and it won't change how everyone else's post are displayed.

Washed hair with the shampoo bar and let it dry naturally

I am on my first shampoo bar: well it's not labelled a 'shampoo bar', it's just labelled "lemon soap" but it does the job. We have also exchanged shower gel for bars of soap. It has made a huge difference to the amount of plastic going into our ♻ bin and it's working out a lot cheaper.

I'm not sure about the new style forum, find it hard going on the eyes.

How about dimming your screen brightness?

On a Macbook there are sunshine buttons on the keypad which can be pressed to dim or brighten the display.

In Windows you'd probably need to go to Settings  > System > Display to make the change.

Or changing the accessibility settings?
On a Macbook you can go to Accessibility>Display and alter the settings.

In Windows, you'd probably need to go to Settings and look for Accessibility settings.

OK - Operation 'Saving Like Mad' has commenced.

Today I have

- been at work 10am to 4:30 pm so heating set to come on at 4 (house warm by the time I get in, but not heating an empty house).

- took sandwiches to work for lunch. Didn't manage to eat them until 4pm (bank-to-back appointments right through from 12), but that's a whole other issue.

- eating from the freezer tonight. Not particularly hungry at the moment as I didn't get my lunch until 4...

Flooding pretty bad round here. I'm not affected as I'm up a hill, but I could see where the river Aire has burst its banks down in the valley when I was driving home from work.

Keep warm and dry

My anger was further compounded by the fact that it's easier to get Boris Johnson to tell a truth than to speak to a person at Hermes.

Could be a job for Resolver? (Link)
