I have to admit that I still use the BcUK ones. Click on the wee line of three dots at the top of the reply; then click on the smilie face, and go down the page until you find the BcUK smilies. I'd like those more easily available if possible. I know I've memorised the code for a lot of them...

I'm pleased to hear that you're healing well :) Sorry to hear about the asthma, and I really agree with you about the NHS. We don't value it enough, we don't give it enough credit for what it does; the staff are brilliant :) I thank everyone who pays or has paid or will pay their National...

I love carnation milk, and traditional Scottish tablet made from condensed milk....pity I can't digest milk properly and it makes me incredibly nauseous....ice cream is horrible stuff. I miss carnation milk though. It was lovely over a pudding, or made with rice for pudding.

I have 'household' woollen blankets that are beautiful and warm, but they're very 'clean', very pale coloured, easily stained (Himself spilled coffee....) and I wouldn't recommend unless you really don't mind grubbiness in short order if used outdoors or in a van. I also have an utterly superb...

Another recommendation for Armour Class. They're good, they know their stuff, they stand by their workmanship. M

Today has been full of birds. Woodpeckers, nuthatches, great, blue, coal and long tailed tits, robins and blackbirds :) even the usual sparrows are looking so bright, sharp and colourful just now. They're all pairing up too.

Technically it is wholesome, their treatment is within permissable levels, etc., The issue is that I have really sharp senses, and I can smell and taste the chlorine.

Funnily enough I've been clearing out old first aid stuff today....came across an Israeli pressure bandage....long timed out, but still sealed, sterile, etc., and since there's nothing to go off, most unlikely to be spoiled. What on earth I'm going to do with such a thing these days though.....

I miss my twin tub. An old fashioned twin tub really washed clothes, and you could spin stuff until nearly bone dry too. If I had room, even though I have an automatic, I'd have a twin tub too.

Honestly, this was so simple a set up to fix. Changing the filters is very straightforward too. I can taste when it's time to change even though I do mark the calendar. For us it was, and is, worth it. I'm going to fit another in the upstairs bathroom when we renovate. I'm sure there are other...

Sweetheart stout would be better than Guiness, though other traditional low alcohol milk stouts would do. Traditionally given to those such as the elderly, those recuperating from surgery, nursing mothers, etc., The low alcohol in sweetheart stout at 2% is the same level as that small beer that...

It got so noticeable to me that I bought and my husband fitted an undersink water filter system. It is simplicity itself, and it gave us back plain as unadulterated as possible drinking water. Under twenty quid for the whole thing, and that includes the tap and the thing to cut through the...

Our water is soft too, but the water board in their wisdom now chlorinate our potable water supplies :sigh: On t'other hand, we no longer have whisky coloured water coming through when it pours hard up on the Lanark moors. They've gotten very good at filtering out the peat.

Just as a wee aside; is your water hard or soft ?

Is the government not gold backed ?
