Do others, like me, take their phone into the loo now instead of the newspaper? The only advantage of taking a newspaper in with you is that you can't wipe your bum with a phone...

£95 pa (£7.91 pm) in the UK. When I first joined up it was £72 pa

We went there to celebrate my 60th but only for a week as the other week was spent on Islay (whisky tours)... Iceland is an awesome place; we've been to many beautiful countries, yet I would go back there in a heartbeat. There is so much to see and experience that you must, must do your...

ours never has, I have to go and withdraw cash just to pay for a chinese takeaway

I have a LAP live cable tester plus several neon screwdrivers. I isolate the circuit at the CU then use the tester to check for live and then the screwdriver before I proceed. However, this is only for circuits I am familiar with, if I found a floating bare wire, I wouldn't go further without...

I bought my mft tops from CNC Designs (who I totally recommend), they have 20mm holes and I bought an Axminster chamfer tool before I decided to use Quad Dogs from Benchdogs instead of UKJ Dogs, so I returned the chamfer tool but not before trying it out and it does indeed produce very neat...

I'm installing new kitchen units with solid block beech worktops into our utility room which is a converted galley kitchen built in the 19th Century as a 'modernisation' i.e. built using ironstone stuck on the back of the 300-year-old stone cottage. There isn't a straight wall or right angle in...

I bought these and they are excellent, one of the weak points of any depth stop is the quality of the grub screws but these are very well made. https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B001W7AS4I?ref_=pe_27063361_487360311_302_E_DDE_dt_1

speed and convenience - we have a Morphy Richards and it is superb. you roughly chop the ingredients, stick them in and make chunky or smooth soups at the press of a button in 20 mins without standing over it.

Although irritating at times my bank (Halifax) forces me to use my pin after so many contactless transactions, especially if they are in fairly rapid succession. The latest scam is where your phone and card are nicked then large purchases can be made by using another phone to video your mobile...

I have one of these which is excellent https://www.amazon.co.uk/Bahco-Carbide-Edged-Pocket-Scraper/dp/B000288LOW/ref=asc_df_B000288LOW?tag=bingshoppinga-21&linkCode=df0&hvadid=80882880812406&hvnetw=o&hvqmt=e&hvbmt=be&hvdev=c&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=&hvtargid=pla-4584482456222475&psc=1 but the...

I have the No. 5 and it is also excellent. I bought it at a woodworking show over 15 years ago. Clifton (as was then) had a stand with various planes to try, so I had a go. The demonstrator very politely corrected my technique then he told me the price, but I simply couldn't afford it (I had...

or...live in a cave

If you have two wires in your existing thermostat then you can simply connect up a programmable one, just make sure it is a wired thermostat and not wireless.

We have a large coffee table and side table made to the same design, although the wood is darker. We bought ours from John Lewis years ago when this type of Indian furniture was popular.

I think there's good and bad double/triple glazing, you pays your money etc. We bought cheap to replace the single pane windows as it was all we could justify at the time.

Yes we use the aluminium spike device and it does reduce cooling time and perfect results. We prefer a crispy baked spud so the ultimate solution would be spiked spuds done in an air fryer.

If can you install 38mm horizontal battens to the wall using hammer fixings (Screwfix) then buy a Ryobi One+ 18v 2nd fix nailer https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00GGE8MD6?ref_=pe_27063361_487360311_302_E_DDE_dt_1 and a Dewalt battery adapter Badaptor DEW-RYO DeWalt to Ryobi Battery Adapter ...

As I understand it you can have a 'cold roof' where the joists are insulated or a 'warm roof' where the rafters are insulated. The problem with having both is condensation build up.

Regardless of individual opinions it's going to be very weird singing or listening to God Save The King after a lifetime of having a Queen. Also, King Charles III has a certain irony for anti-royalists...
