I've got one, water pik (?) for which I paid about £50 a few years ago. My dental hygienist recommended one when my gums started shrinking due to poor hygiene on my part. I don't use it so much these days but its pretty good when I do. My gums recovered and are now pretty good, for my age...

Brandy (or calvados) is your friend when mulling cider or wine ;). Nigella has some great recipes.

Does this mean the 'Ring of Fire' makes a come back ?

Jumping without arms out....

I used dehumidifiers in a construction site mess/ office drying room. It worked very well and was much cheaper than using just hot air to dry wet clothing It uses a lot less carbon too :) .

1. Make sure you see at least three Universities (even if one of those is Sussex / Brighton) and visit at least one city and one campus. Your kids will know after seeing 3 different. I've not been, but heard loads of good things about Leeds. 2. Ask if they have to clear their Hall of...

I saw both of these as a double bill. I laughed so much it was painful. Life of Brian if I had choose only one.

Nothing again. It's been 4 months since I had a win. (9k invested). But Mrs Elbow has just won £450 this month. :)

13 was a standard starting age for paper rounds in the 1970's. Most of us lied about our ages and started at 12 though, similarly for working in shops and cafes. I lied about my age to get a very lucrative job saturday and after school job at the International supermarket in Newhaven. I...

Yes, a surprising low XG for Villa, and if I'm honest a bit high for us? We were unlucky with the Pervis deflection and 2 VAR decisions should have ruled out another two. Credit to Watkins, he played really well, meaning we should have lost by 3-1 or 3-2 if March had slotted his header. We...

I was so p*ssed off with my stream freezing just before Villa scored their first 3 goals I gave up, and didn't watch us on MOTD or highlights. I'lll do that tonight and consider the ref and VAR performances. But we mustn't forget Liverpool had a stinker yesterday with that goal being ruled...

In the early 1970's I had a morning paper round in Peacehaven, Kay's Newsagents on the coast road near Vernon Ave I think? My route included the promenade right next to the cliff edge. I remember some amazing sunrises, but a lot of wind and rain too. No dogs or particular hassle, but I hated...

Martin Lewis reckons premiums also vary with when you renew. To soon you're a sucke giving them money early, too close to expiry you're either a tight wad and high risk, and/or getting desperate. Something else to factor in!! https://www.moneysavingexpert.com/insurance/car-insurance/when-to-renew/

My gas Aga is now on after being rested since May. The gentle heat output makes my kitchen toasty warm, is great for drying the washing and will delay the boiler firing up for heating for another few weeks.

Draft Corfu beer for me. Followed by a bottle of local rose to go with my lamb kelftiko. Yes, I'm in Corfu.

I brought an Epson with refillable ink reservoirs 18 month ago. Its very good, dead easy to set up and wireless printing works seemlessly with android, iphone, mac, unlike the previous HP piece of junk. £180, but at my low rate of printing I wont need to worry about ink for many years. I...

https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2023/sep/07/police-called-to-yoga-class-mistaken-for-mass-killing I'm not surprised the Police don't respond to shoplifting. They have far more important things to attend to..

I'm on holiday in Corfu. Freddos, the local ice cream parlour here in Acharavi does the most amazing home made organic ice creams and sorbets. Last night was Stracciatella, tonight I'll have after eight or Bueno, tomorrow plain chocolate. Next will be Fig sorbet. Wonderful..

The Pervis one was right in front of me in West Stand Upper. He made so much of it, it ended up looking like a dive. Had he stumbled on a step or two I think it would have been given, but there was full agreement around me it wasn't going to be given as a penalty. I'm sure more experienced...

Check when the cam belt and water pump are due. That can easily be £450 +. Check brakes. Discs and pads. Again could be £350 + if needed all round. Find out how much a new clutch is (fitted,of course) for that car. Sheffield is a long way to go. Try and find something within 40 miles so you...
