My central heating is struggling to keep the house warm. I suspect there's no insulation in the loft. Not much I can do about that as it's rented accommodation. But I have blankets and hot water bottles, so I'm OK. I'm quite envious of my Mum's little bungalow - extremely efficient heating, and as i...

Oh my, Jansman! All my best wishes to you and your family. Keep on keeping on

I bought another two battery light bars today, As seems to be traditional, one doesn't work properly - it comes on the second the batteries are in and doesn't switch off. I've tried all sorts of on/off permutations, and still it's just ON. So I'll save that one for hooking on one of the many nails s...

Please don’t be offended if you already know this but be very careful mixing paracetamol with cold and flu remedies. They often contain paracetamol in addition to other ingredients. You can easily overdose. Paracetamol maximum of 4 grams in 24 hours for an adult. Most tabs are 0.5 grams. Don’t risk...

Little man has his grey coat.... It's fully reflective but not overly visible in the fog

I LOVE Little Man's coat! That's the kind of coat I'd get if I was ever a cyclist again.

I had a close call driving this evening - nearly hit two children who walked out in front of me without looking, wearing almost entirely black. Despite both parties being perfectly fine (I guess the kids were a bit shaken), I still feel sick as even nearly hitting a kid is my worst nightmare. So I'v...

Then ..paid the mortgage off 😬😬 Many, many congratulations! :D :D Preps wise, I'm investigating dash cams after my work colleague M got rear ended today by an idiot who then said it was M's fault (it wasn't) and was VERY pleased that M doesn't have a dash cam. M is now looking to buy one, and so am...

I had today off work and had thought I was going to be spending the day doing loads of stuff for Mum. As it was, all Mum wanted was a lift to the bank and for me to take some stuff to the tip. So I had the rest of the day to myself! Went to town and did a bit of a top up shop. Bought more paracetamo...

I didn't know conkers have saponin. That explains why I've seen roads with horse chestnut trees look like someone has had an accident with Fairy liquid!
