I've had deliveries from Evri and InPost this week which were completely fine. But I don't even have an tracking update from RM yet on my parcel from Poland. I've never used lockers so have no experience with them, I have a small shop close to my house which takes InPost, no lockers.

So cool. I have a rather large collection of Karrimor backpacks from the 70's, 80's and 90's and I have an original Karrimor Karrimat. Would love an old Karrimor tent to add to the collection.

I buy and sell a fair bit on second hand sites like Vinted, Depop, eBay etc. and typically send or receive through either Royal Mail, Evri or InPost. I have to say that Evri and InPost are absolutely brilliant, they almost always hit their target delivery times, in fact I cannot remember the...

I recently picked up this Karrimor Hot Earth. It's the same colour as my much bigger Aiguille Alpine Equipment backpack. I used this Hot Earth recently on a training day with mountain rescue and found it very comfortable. As I was concentrating on the activities at hand I forgot it was even on...

He'd been waiting 19 years for this moment, don't take it away from him!

I've never owned anything from Helikon before but from all the reviews I have read or watched on YouTub it seems to be of good quality. The synthetic insulation used is a very good and durable insulation. I had set myself a budget of £200 for a new insulated jacket using this insulation or...

I agree it's the polar opposite of my usual style, but I don't think many outdoor brands make garments in bright colours anymore, plus the camo is at least £30 cheaper than any other colour. At least it might make it a little bit harder for the dog handlers to spot me :lmao:

It's interesting that they have some Hilleberg tents in the sale. Alpinetrek also have the Hilleberg Akto in a sale. When I bought a Hilleberg a year ago, I was phoning around various shops trying to get military discount on Hilleberg tents (shops that offered military discount on other items)...

The 'US Woodland' version of the Helikon-Tex Wolfhound insulated (Climashield Apex) jacket is down to £70 free postage https://military.eu/en/p/helikon/helikon-wolfhound-hoodie-jacket-us-woodland-302612

Also, I found the Wolfhound in a camo colour. I don't usually go for camo but the camo is down to £70! What does everyone think of the camo colour? It's not usually my style but it's only to wear when I stop or when dogsbodying!

Well done. I think will power is just like anything else in that you get better at it the more you use it.

Hi all, I'm looking to purchase a belay jacket (insulated jacket to go over all other layers). After much looking I think I'm almost set on something from Helikon-Tex. They use more durable Climashield insulation and are priced very reasonably. I'm looking at both the Wolfhound and the Level 7...

Thank you for all comments.

Sorry for the lack of response, I have been very busy this past week setting up to sell Christmas Trees!

I love coffee, I have an espresso machine and I enjoy not only drinking it but the whole process of grinding the beans, the smell, making the coffee, steaming the milk. I have a coffee every morning with my breakfast and rarely do I ever have more than one coffee a day. If I do, it usually gives...

I did at one point get into the habit of drinking almost every night just 2 or 3 beers or glasses of wine. I also used to really enjoy drinking if we were having a takeaway. When I realised that I really wanted to stop drinking was when something like having a takeaway didn't appeal to me if I...

I really don't miss alcohol. It's funny though, I have forgotten myself once or twice and gone to grab a glass out of habit and then remembered. But, not that I was a heavy drinker, just a regular drinker in small amounts, my mental health has improved since stopping drinking alcohol, I have...

Thank you, It's not so much t-total with sugar, I like the occasional cup of tea with half a sugar, for example, which doesn't bother me, and I don't want to stop the occasional ice cream or bit of cake etc. It's more the random cravings I get in which I go and eat 5 or 10 custard creams or a...

The rest of my diet is pretty good, I almost always have at least one home cooked meal a day, and it's almost always a chicken dish, I've got chicken/tomato soup made with bone broth for dinner tonight. I had oats, yoghurt and fruit with chia, pumpkin and sunflower seeds for breakfast, but I do...

.. four months ago, and I found it surprisingly easy. Now I'm giving up sugary snacks like sweets and chocolate and finding it difficult. I get almost unbearable urges for sugar, especially after meals. I find Greek yoghurt helps to curb the 'withdrawal' but it's taking a lot of will power...
