I rarely even venture into a B&Q as they always seem expensive to me and the nearest is about five miles away. I prefer not to use the dodgy tax avoiding south american river company but at those prices it's not hard to see why they get the custom... On a more prepping angle harvesting pears , a...

Only a small prep this week, I guess: I harvested the Spuds and Onions on my allotment. Trug full of spuds of all shapes and sizes and a carrier bag of fair sized onions. Much better than last year's yield, when blight hit the spuds and the onions just died. I cleared one potato bed recently. To be...

I've still got my mother's old singer. It was originally a hand powered one although my father fitted a small motor at some point. I could change it back if I really wanted to. I do think it's a bit of a shame that these things are almost worthless , I've seen them not sell at a fiver and I dread to...

Yes that's right I think . It's my wife who does the selling and she uses several different platforms , as far as we can tell 29 sales on vinted and 29 sales on another platform doesn't mean HMRC are told of a total of 58 sales. Quite useful is facebook market place as it's generally local so no pos...

Near us is one of those bargain warehouse type of places , pile it high and sell it cheap style. There's no set stock and the goods change constantly , it's whatever they can get in at a cheap price. Obviously they are making a profit but still selling cheaply but still cheap enough for the likes of...

If there was a prep that gave me more time in a day I'd certainly be up for it. The past few months have been pretty hectic. Work has been coming in faster than I can keep up , my wife has been busy with work and her selling . We were perhaps a little short of actual cash as most of the work was pai...

I remember Survivors from when it was first shown ( well at least as much as I can) . I always thought it had a good dollop of realism that seemed to be missing from primarily Hollywood offerings. Except of course like pretty much all of this genre the mountains of rotting bodies is generally ignore...

Our house is just shy of 100 years old. When I fitted the kitchen we needed a gas safe plumber so thought while he's doing that he may as well put in the new pipework for the sink and so on so that he had a full days work. I'm glad that I did , one thing I'd not thought of is that the original pipew...

Some years ago I was working on an old fire damaged building. We were told to just cut off the pipework as it was all "dead" . My workmate angle grinded through a pipe and water started coming through. "Carry on" he was told "it's just what is in the pipes" . Of course ...

I've no experience of these fancy modern barefoot jobbies but I did do an experiment with soled medieval hose. For those that don't know hose are the medieval equivalent of trousers and are commonly made with an integral foot , like a stocking , and are tied to the doublet with points which are basi...
