Was down yesterday lunchtime when my husband tried to log on. He spent ages on the phone and it was apparently sorted. I have only just tried mine and found it is down.

I signed up for BB in October and got BT sport for £12 month 18 month contract through Sky. Now increasing that by £4 a month. Rather a large % increase for an extra 10 premier league games.

We have a local free Facebook group intended to help people in need. Recently someone was so needy that they collected a free sofa, photographed it still on the van and posted it immediately on a selling group for £100. A pity for them it was so distinctive and was recognised, they might have got away with it if it had…

I am still struggling 5 years into the process. I was making good progress when I think about how much has gone since the start. Youngest daughter moved back to the area Christmas week and despite selling bedroom furniture, almost new washing machine, a large TV, 2 fridge freezers and dining table a lot of stuff made its…

Hi, do you have any ideas for where I can donate the 2 large pieces of fabric that I found? Could just freecycle I suppose, but would rather a charity would take them. I did take some smaller pieces to the textile bank last week but these are really too good to potentially go for ragging. Thanks, DD had told me they were…

If you will forgive me,this morning I am testing my memory again from last week with the contents of the weekend case, much of which went straight to the bin/recycle: Handwritten notifications of 'O' and 'A' level results (1969 and 1971) Single BW photograph of me from photobooth 1971, year identified by the beautiful…

Re mins game, the notepad I am using for my current to do lists contains each day's items from when I played it. It will soon be full and will be recycled.

The dress still fits if the boobs are given a bit of a hoist to put them in the intended place. Put it on as DD2 arrived, not realising she had brought her boyfriend back with her. :o, but no, I will not be wearing it. Would love to use it to make something though.

Where does time go? I thought it is about 6 months since I posted on this topic and can't believe that it was in August 2016, despite continuing on the long KM journey. I still keep up with what everyone else is doing, but by the time I have read the news I don't have time to write, especially on tablet or phone. Recent…

Yes, started recently. Have made red sauerkraut from Michael Mosely clever guts book and kimchi and yogurt from on line recipes. I don't have any gut problems that I know of, but the science looks good.

Good morning everyone. I must get back on the fast train ASAP, the slow one keeps getting sidetracked at every station so although progress has been continuing, it has been too slow. I have continued to read the thread and am now determined to rejoin. The biggest issue I have is that I expected that once my husband retired…

Good afternoon. I decided to reduce carbs at the beginning of April. I am neither obese nor diabetic, in fact I am small and have a slight build. I have very little subcutaneous fat but have always had a bit of a tummy. I put weight on slowly but then find it almost impossible to lose it again as my maintenance calorie…

Just to let you know that Gary is running a mobile snack bar on the dock road north of Liverpool city centre.

Good evening everyone. I haven't caught up with reading the posts yet, still a couple of days behind, but expecting a phone call so posting while I can. I am missing the randomness of playing the mins game. When I open a drawer or cupboard I am still getting rid of things but feel bad not counting them out. I am getting…

Thanks for that link Jinny. Last week I was trying to decide about continuing the Mins list to maintain momentum and came to a decision at the weekend. I decided that I would leave the counting of random stuff for a while as other things should take priority. I am happy with the overall effects at the moment. The…

Good afternoon everyone I will finish typing the lists, I will finish typing the lists...... When I removed the chest of drawers from my bedroom last week I found 4 cardboard boxes full of mixed items that had obviously been collected just after the windows were finished and were hiding in the corner of the bay behind the…

Good afternoon. Good going GQ! I will finish posting my mins lists for October, as the activity has been completed. Only 6 days worth to record. Dat 26 Monday 1. Tealight holder in the shape of a blue fish, used up then removed the wax from its extremities, holder to CS. 2 to 7. Unloved white plastic coat hangers bought by…

Good morning everyone. I woke up this morning and looked out of the window. I panicked when I realised that I had forgotten to put the bin out. But then I saw that everyone else's bin lids were in the middle of the road, last night being mischief night. Then I really woke up! DD2 came back for the weekend last evening,…

DH is in charge of the garden, which can at best be described as bird friendly. However on Saturday I went into the front garden as the sun was rising and cut down the shrub that was overhanging the wall at the front. I discovered that the shrub is growing between the bricks and is probably the only reason the wall is…
