Today was National Dill Pickle Day, and we decided at work to make a big dill out of it (see what I did there!). So we had a Pickle Fest, and people brought in just about anything they could find that was pickle related. We had...

When we (mostly my partner I admit) dug out our garden pond four years ago it generated a lot of soil, rocks and clay subsoil. We filled several skips (dumpsters) with the clay, and that costs hundreds of pounds to get rid of so...

So many times I have read or heard of people spilling their coffee over their keyboard, but so far I managed to avoid it – until a couple of days ago. I had just topped up my mug and settled back down at my desk to work. I picked...

Anna @Fleura - We have coffee with breakfast at 5:30 in the morning. We take a "coffee break" around 8:30, we sit at the table and plan our day while drinking our coffee, it takes 15 to 20 minutes. After that if I need to drink a glass of water, I go to the...

Fiacre Banks @fleura Councils can be very rude. I’m barred from My nearest council dump because my address has another dump assigned to it.

Fiacre Banks @fleura We are all relieved that you weren’t working in the Oval Office and spilled your beverage on the big red button and your well-meaning partner wasn’t too vigorous in his attempt to take it apart and clean it.

Little One likes to sing, and sometimes when we’re on a car journey she’ll suggest that we sing a few songs, or even that we just listen to her singing. But then she’ll say ‘What shall I sing?’ and the big problem is that not one...

Gruffydd Rhydderch @Fleura I don’t know Lord Franklin. I like Widdecombe Fair, or as I call it Old Uncle Tom Cobley and All, but I never remember the names. What about this one from The Grumbleweeds: https://youtu.be/5ig4Es436IY?si=FsP1dgUw14GnwHs2

May Day @Fleura If there really are contaminants, I'm sure it can be washed off easily. However, just to be safe, make sure to always wear gloves both during the search and the washing. As for the horror stuff, I was thinking more like a ghost lives in the mirror....

I always thought people in India were for some reason more religious than people in other parts of the world. To say that this shocked me and left me speechless is more than right. A six-year-old named Vinod who lived with his...

May Day @Fleura I once read an article saying that rubbles are usually not harmful, but some rubbles were studied to produce contaminants through time, such as nickel, lead, mercury and among others. An article also said that mirrors can get contaminated if its...

Gruffydd Rhydderch @Fleura You must be talking about the corded type. The cordless are much more compact and great for vacuuming the car. The biggest downside that I encounter is emptying the ‘dust’ out. The dust goes everywhere, so bags win in this way. I think the biggest...
