I have just seen an advert for a mattress that arrives in a box, rolled up! I never imagined such a thing. I'm a pocket sprung sort of chap (Vispring, thank you for asking) and cannot believe such a...
I use an immersion heater for hot water during the summer. This is operated by a manual timer that I have set for one hour during the night. The water gets very hot, hot enough to scald and to make...
Just reminiscing and remember sleeping on sheets with a seam up the middle because my mother would turn them when they were wearing thin in the middle. This meant cutting them in half lengthways and...
The middle aged Tesco delivery driver said, "Hello, young man" when I answered the door.
What has your defining moment for hitting middle age or old age?...
I have Economy 7 electricity and noticed a month ago that the clock was jammed. I kept daily records and I have had cheap rate electricity for only 19 days out of 30. It is three days since I last had...
I live in a very hard water area and can't keep on top of the limescale that kills my electric kettles. I'm thinking of buying a stove top, would that suffer the same fate?

The new Channel 4 series that started last night, Mend It For Money, was recommended to me by my smart tv as I am a fan of The Repair Shop. I watched the last half hour but wasn't impressed. I found...
I think I've gone in to a funk through self isolation but I can't work this very simple sum out. There are two parts that total 526. One part is 195 and the other 331. I need to know what per centage...
Any suggestions? I am currently eating Pilgrim's Choice Extra Mature Cheddar and it goes in to crumbs instead of slices. Do you know of a cheese that will slice rather than crumble?
I am due to collect my first ever 'click and collect' from Tesco and need to know what id, if any, I need to take. I have scoured their site, my emails and my receipt but can't find the answer. The...
Funny what you think about when your quarantined. There are lots of people in the UK who are here illegally, trafficked by gangmasters and working for very little money, a squalid roof over their head...
I am very fortunate in that I don't know anyone who has contracted it, not even a friend of a friend of a friend.
Maybe I just don't know many people...
My aged relative lives with us and it works very well.except she feels the cold and has to have the heating racked right up. We only have a small house with one living room so there is no escape. I am...
