Toilet (seat) trouble
The problem with replacing a toilet seat is……… Before I show you what I’ve been struggling with for the past 5 days, allow me to give a quick background – bear with me, it will be worth it! Just before Christmas, I told Hubby I wanted to changed the toilet seat – the one we…

Big thaw = Plot progress!
At last we got back to the allotment I was very happy to get back to the plot today after all the ice had finally melted. It’s been hard to see everyone else on YouTube working on their plots or gardens and sowing their seeds and I haven’t been able to get through a wall…

Remember when we used to just have fun?
I’m getting tired of this sort of thing……. Does anyone else remember when we used to just throw snowballs, skate and slide on the ice, climb rails/walls/anything that didn’t move? Every movement these days is so regulated and controlled – I CAN’T STAND IT! Please tell me I’m not alone….

Why my allotment gardening is on ice at the moment
I still have a lot of preparations to make on the allotment plot to get it ready for Spring. The Christmas period usually puts things on hold for a little while even though I keep seeing people on YouTube with their Boxing Day or New Year’s Day videos (I don’t know how they manage that).…

Christmas Cake Calamity!
It seemed like a good idea at the time I haven’t made a Christmas cake in years. In fact, I don’t know if I’ve ever made more than one and the first one was a disaster. So as I was scrolling through YouTube videos the other day, I came across a channel which does a…

According to YT this will get the oil stain out!
I have a favourite hoodie and I need it clean. It’s time for a YouTube hack. Last week I opened a can of sardines for Scooby’s breakfast and it’s one of those in sunflower oil. Guess where the oil went? Yeah, all over my hoodie. I put it into the washing machine and gave it…

Harvesting in December?!
I wondered if I could harvest 5 different veg from the allotment (after the storm). We went up to the allotment today (Sunday) and I had 2 jobs in mind: to check for damage after the storm and to see if I could get a harvest of 5 types of veg. Well, the good news…

It just isn’t Christmas without this
I have to share this. When I was growing up we listened to this EVERY Christmas and when I found it on YouTube, I discovered we weren’t the only ones. If you don’t know this album you should. Yes it’s old but it’s adorable and to me, it just isn’t Christmas without it. Enjoy.
