grenfell, the Costco sums are the same as the motorway ones in reverse. Ten pence on 50 litres is £5, so a 40 mile round trip only pays if you were going anyway, which it sounds like you are. Less easy to put into the calculations but something to think about at Costco is the waiting I mentioned. I...

We went to Scotland over the weekend . Prices varied by quite a bit. On the motorway petrol was 199.9 a litre and we saw diesel at 219.9 but then we topped up in Gretna on the way back and paid 172.9 for petrol.

I normally use the local supermarket for my fuel . There's one other petrol station in the town that's normally a penny or two dearer. People complain about both of them on the local Facebook page. Closest after that is about four miles away and that either matches the supermarket or is a penny or t...

Some years ago I bought a Draper cordless drill, I chose a 12 volt version, thought was if the battery failed connect two cables with battery clips (for car battery) and job sorted....... Yes you’ve guessed.......motor burnt out :lol: :lol: :lol: I've done the same although in my case the tools wer...

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...
