I get up in the morning and fold the covers down to air the bed - one of those old-fashioned pieces of wisdom that turns out to be backed up by modern science. Making the bed – i.e. putting the covers back in place right away –...

Judy Evans @Fleura We prefer a top sheet, blanket and eiderdown (or whatever). A duvet seems all or nothing to us. Too hot with it, too cold without it. It's good we're all different! lol

When will the unions ever learn that more often than not, they are simply fighting Peter to pay Paul? Boeing machinists have been on strike fighting for higher wages and more benefits, at the same time that Boeing is struggling...

Marie Coyle @Fleura That was what we attached ours to, it worked fine that way. Now I use the edge of my counter, and protect the surface with a dry washcloth clamped underneath it.

Kununurra is an isolated town in Western Australia. It’s 3,000km (1,889 mi) north of Perth and approximately 45 kms (28 mi) from the Northern Territory border. It’s at the far north-eastern end of what’s known as the Kimberley...

DE @Fleura I'm honestly never sure about the difference in measurements here to there so it was a good question. That's why I asked Google.

DE @Fleura I don't know what they did. That was all way before my time. I would assume so since they also donated land, supplies and labor to build a small church along with the cemetery. Google says an acre here is the exact same size as an acre there.

I just loved this. I was visiting some friends recently and we went out for a walk with their dog (who you can just see in the background). When we came to this little footbridge over a tiny stream there was this totally...

Do you do jobs that you don’t really need to do, just because you can’t bear the way other people do it or the time they take to get around to it? I know I do this, especially with the laundry. If my partner does it, then when he...

BarBaraPrz @Fleura I want it done by magic, complete with a keeping spell so it stays that way.

DE @Fleura I've tried that. It doesn't work. One of these days I won't be able to do the stuff I do here and she'll have to do it. *shrug*

I’m sure @porwest will agree with me on this… About 25 years ago I thought that I should try investing some money to save for the future. The problem was that I didn’t have much to spare, and knew virtually nothing about the...

Jim Bauer @Fleura But the key, you can never have a lot if you don't start with a little. One of life's little ironies. And of course, time is everything when it comes to the value of investing. The later one starts the smaller the result due to time decay.

Judy Evans @Fleura It held two pieces of bread, one each side. The sides were hinged at the bottom and when you opened the side the bread would sometimes slide down the side, presenting the uncooked side ready to up against the heat when you closed it again.

The people who lived in this house before us did a lot of work modifying it to their own preferences, and one of those was plenty of bathrooms all done very neatly, i.e. with all the pipes etc, boxed in and hidden away. As a...

One of the novelties of going on holiday is getting to eat meals out, something we virtually never do otherwise. And our trip to Paris was a great opportunity. Little One is rather a fussy eater, she has certain favourites and is...

lilacskies @Fleura Wow, that's awesome! And it's great that your 18 year old daughter lives with you. I'm 28 and moved back in with my parents 5 years ago. I will move out again after I have enough savings to be financially independent.
