Brilliant @shiney They do tend to go in 'cycles' - we used to get a spate of the at work, then nothing for a few weeks, then repeat ad infinitum.

Welcome back mazambo with or without functioning body parts.

They last 6 months and there was no instruction to keep them in the fridge. I didn't realize it but I think they're about just over the date now.

It's around 3am, and I can't sleep, so, I'll add my daftness!!Early in married life, when "doing it yourself" was a necessity, not a trend, I decided to paint the outside of our first house (I'd a terrace house).No ladder, so, how do I paint the high areas outside?As a severe epileptic,...

I would never rent our house out. We have got it really nice, the garden too and wouldn't trust anyone else to live in it. My son owns two houses and rents one out - he had terrible tenants even though they were vetted and both working. They eventually were put out and left a mess behind them -...

My parents confiscated my wooden clogs after I realised they could be used as weapons if thrown with a skill. My sister and I are nowadays in good terms.Scissors were out of bounds too. I thought my parents would support budding engineering skills when I used a pair of kitchen scissors to...

I must admit there are times when I'm tempted by the expensive options, but my cheap and simple approach does what I need it to. I don't really need improved accuracy, it's just for personal interest. I started off wanting to know if we really were in a rainfall "black hole" or whether it was my...
