As well as the usual [meal planning /gyo] what have you done that makes a difference ?
I have replaced my dead automatic washing machine with a brand new twin tub, instead of a cycle taking 30-90 mins i can do all my washing in just over an hour.:)
We are hoping to get a multi fuel burner this year and make brickettes[sp] with all the junk mail we get.:)

Wow! I bet it's cleaner too :cool: I guess it's a bit of extra work for you, how do you find it?
i believe the washing is cleaner , at 1st i got my powder from the £1 shop but its false economy , daz twin tub powder is great. it is a bit extra work and it took a couple of days to get used to but instead of a 30 min wash just to freshen up some clothes i can do anything from 3-15 mins.
The machine itself is direct drive so theres no belt theres virtually nothing that can go wrong [touch wood :cool:]
My biggest OS is to try and make as many things myself for gifts (either baked, preserved or sewn) and find they are much appreciated by the recipients - particularly baby blankets with names embroidered on.

I'm not a proper OS type, really. I just sneak in here for handy tips and interesting chat among other things BUT I have made my own laundry-detergent aka "gloop" and very cheap and efficient it is, too. It's saved me buckets of money
