Sorry to hear of your painful condition. I don't know if this will help, but here goes. I used to suffer terrible pain in my foot due to arthritis. Painful enough for to make getting out of bed difficult and going to work impossible. Someone recommended I try taking Glucosamine Sulphate tablets...

Some useful information on this thread. I tend to get bitten a lot more than my partner - in fact got a sting/bite on my arm this morning - and I keep some Zirtek antihistamine tablets handy in case I get a particularly bad reaction. Rubbing vinegar on the string/bite immediately also helps...

It's worth having a look at the Met Office's own website: www.metoffice.gov.uk You can type in your post-code or town name and it gives you a localised forecast.

This is very similar to the first family tent we ever bought. And it was already old when I bought it second-hand. First trip away was 6 weeks camping on the south coast of France, and it was the kid's first foreign holiday. We had a brilliant time, loved the tent and it served us well for...

I found it really useful to make a check-list of all the items I'd need for a day out walking, a weekend away or a week or more camping. I don't necessarily take the same things every time but at least, by having a written list, it prompts me as to what I have, and I seldom leave something...

You've got a nice stiff triangular structure over the door. To stiffen the joints between this triangle and the vertical posts each side of the door, the use of some heavy-duty brackets each side, both inside and outside, would help. The rigidity of the connection between the base of the...

We have a Kampa Hayling 4 (just for the two of us). They also do a '6' which I think would be the right size for 2 adults and 2/3 off-spring. They are not too pricey, you can stand up straight in them and they have a big porch area wand the whole thing has a sewn-in ground sheet. It's here for...

My little camera is a Panasonic Lumix DMC-FS35. I've had it for a couple of years. It's easy to use, whilst having lots of features if you want to get creative. The lens is made by Leica, which is a good lens maker. It measures approx. 10cm x 6cm x 2.5cm so easily fits in a jacket pocket or even...

I heard about this yesterday on the News and then spotted this article in the Daily Wail: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3115171/Flames-30ft-high-rip-Winnie-Pooh-s-real-life-Acre-Wood-blaze-started-rambler-s-camping-stove.html Whenever I use my (gas) stove I always clear several feet...

Great set-up. I was trying to sketch out something like that but your design is much better.

Stunningly beautiful. As John Keats said, 'A thing of beauty is a joy for ever: Its loveliness increases; it shall never pass into nothingness'.

Oops! Missed that bit!

Very interesting article. Years ago I got rid of our aluminium pots & pan due to articles I read about the alleged links between aluminium intake and Alzheimers. I replaced them with stainless steel. In recent years we have bought three heavy cast iron pans. Hence my question - the benefits of...

I've never made bannock. I think I've been a bit put off by the inclusion of raisins, sugar and/or honey (I'm diabetic so I tend to avoid these sugary/sweet ingredients). Obviously I could easily just change the recipe but I was wondering if there is a traditional non-sweet recipe ???

We feed the birds in our garden. Our intention was to feed the small birds (ha!) but the crows and jackdaws seem to have taken over. A couple of magpies also come in and I have been surprised how aggressive they are with the other birds. One of the jackdaws that comes in regularly (I know its...

Agus leatsa, Qwerty !

I'm a novice at these things but just wanted to say, my granddad was a butcher and he used a bow saw with a stainless steel blade to cut bones. Not sure what grade of stainless, I have one of his saws which I'm guessing is at least 60 years old and it cuts through wood like a hot knife through...

Whether it's correctly called a spatula or a fish-slice I'm not sure, but in any event it was 99p :)

Hi Folks, I've taken to browsing in Poundland once-a-month, and on my latest browse I decided to 'treat myself' to a 99p BBQ-type fish-slice, which I intended to modify: [/URL][/IMG] Once I got home, I drilled out the two brass rivets, removed the 'head' and then carved the handle to a...
