I live in a hard water area and mugs get very stained from tea (don't take milk). Someone suggested bleach but I don't fancy using stuff that is put down the loo! Any ideas? TIA
I bought a viburnum sempervirens a few weeks ago. It is about a foot tall. In the past few days it has looked very sorry for itself - leaves are very limp. It has been watered (now by the rain!) Any...
My sis has a large can of extra virgin oil which is kept in a very cold pantry. She decants into a bottle as necessary. When she went to do this yesterday, it was difficult to pour - on its way to...
Just watched the last episode of the week. What an unpleasant lot they were (Robert was ok). I thought the others were up their own ***** and as for Joe, there aren't enough adjectives to describe...
I've been persuaded by my bank to take out ID protection for £7 per month. To stop it, apparently, you just cancel it. What do clever ABers think of this? You get a credit rating report - I've...
I am probably deaf and thick, or both, but I just can't understand what the woman in green dress is singing, therefore have no idea why the other woman asks "Are you saying I'm fat?" This is...
Have had problems with Epson printer/scanner/photocopier several times - sick of it! It's refusing to print our own stuff (i.e. stuff we've typed) but will print googled pieces. Our own work comes out...
I'm sure this has come up before but don't remember the answer. I have foolishly burnt a saucepan (not non-stick) - forgot to turn flame down - now bottom of pan is black. Have soaked and scrubbed...
Not sure where to post this question but here goes:- My son found a sharp object in a sausage roll - it scratched his mouth. It looked like a small piece of bone. I sent it off to the very large,...
An old boy sat down at Wembley to watch the Cup final. There was an empty space next to him, and the guy next to it remarked that it was amazing that nobody had used it. The old boy said " Oh,...
Most of my flowers are perennials and they've done quite well, considering some of the weather we've had. I planted a few bedding plants e.g french marigolds but only about half have flowered. The...
My neighbour has a glut of apples and is making apple sauce and freezing it in bags. She asked me if it is possible to freeze raw apple slices. If someone knows, I'll tell her the answer and hope she...
Good morning you clever ABers. My fridge-freezer has seriously misbehaved:- yesterday the fridge was ever so warm and cosy whilst the freezer bit went into quadruple overdrive, resembling a solid slab...
Was dusting around computer (the whole apparatus went into shock) and I got what looks like black ink on cloth and fingers from the router. It's on the top of it where there are sort-of 2 parallel...
Did anyone watch this documentary last night? (5 Amish teenagers experiencing London life). Did you think it ended very abruptly? 2 minutes visiting Kent right at the end - no comments from anyone...
Just joining the queue to wish you a very happy birthday today. You are allowed a day off from your crossword-solving but then we need you to carry on your fantastic work!
Have to show off! Have won a comp with Prima mag - 4 night luxury stay in Majorca - 16th century manor house hotel in the shadow of Palma cathedral. Just shows it's worth persevering.
