Re: New member - Derbyshire

I feel your pain! I have a form of dyslexia that doesn't affect my spelling but oh boy - numbers , directions, spatial things - total nightmare. I once went round a roundabout so many times people were waving :-) And the times I've headed the 'wrong' way up the A6 were a source of much amusement to...

Re: Freeze dried foods

Thanks, some really great ideas there. Have you got a dehydrator and if so do you think that they are worth the investment? I brought one several years ago and tried to dehydrate some bananas but they ended up rock solid and inedible! I haven't tried it again since but it is up in the attic somewhe...

Re: New member - Derbyshire

One of my main weaknesses is that my spatial awareness, map reading, direction skills are very poor and I find it difficult to learn these skills. I can't find my way out of a telephone box! :D Does anyone have ideas how to develop these skills when they really don't come naturally? Buy a local map...

Re: Freeze dried foods

Looked at Convar but think I’ll stick to dried in Mylar. Their ready meals don’t look all that healthy… Don’t forget No. 6 on your list - grow your own! Yes, I had looked at the ingredients and they don't seem massively healthy. I think it is the same for most of the freeze dried stuff though. Was ...

Re: Freeze dried foods

The quote appears,but not as quote! Try logging out,then logging back in again. Not scientific,but it works for most computer problems! :D
Ok let's try this. Does this work? Can you see the quote as a quote and this sentence too?
Bingo!
Yay!
