As above, I have a small chest freezer down the cellar which is mine and mine alone. It was full of foraged fruits, bags of hops and a few home made sausages. When I bought a load of pork shoulder in the last few weeks I found there was no room for it in my freezer, which was also in serious...

So I was in Lidl yesterday morning, and alongside all the Hobgoblin, Spitfire and other mass market bottled beers I spotted a Hatherwood Ruby Rooster at 99p for 500ml, so I put one in the trolley. The label says Craft Ale, and tells you to store it out of direct sunlight. I tried it at...

Darling Daughter was out last night so Mrs. Mole and I went to the pub :cheers: Curry night, 2 meals + 2 pints for £11 :thumb: (plus a couple of side dishes). One of the beers on tap was Wychwood Piledriver, which I had never seen before so had to try. Barman said he thought it was a strange...

As title, Silver Spoon, 3kg for £2, no "x per customer" restrictions. I bought 12 bags but may go back for more. Somebody has already posted about apple juice at 2 for £1, well there's orange too.

Anybody else going to be following them? I know we've got quite a few Norwegian forum members, come on out and show yourselves. Ole Einar Bjoerndalen - greatest Winter Olympian ever - certainly. Greatest Olympian ever? What other contenders are there? 40 years old. 6th Olympics. 12 medals...

Most members are probably aware that my mother died towards the end of last November. She left various ceramics which my sister and I don't want, so today I went along to an auction house to watch a sale and see how their hammer prices compare with their catalogue estimates, before I take stuff...

I've never been a particularly heavy smoker, and have taken a few months off here and there before, but I had my first cigarette approx. 39 years ago. I had my last approx. 30 minutes ago. So what's your resolution?

..... well, a bit of a mixture. Forum members who have been paying attention will know that my mother died 3 weeks ago. We now have the onerous task of clearing out the family home, because my wife and I don't want it (she doesn't particularly like it, and I don't want it because it hasn't got...

Coming out of our town there's a long, wide, straight road which has always had a 40mph speed limit. Although it's a residential area, the houses are set well back from the main road. Following a couple of incidents they dropped it to a 30mph limit, which everybody completely ignored. They...

Word games crop up on a fairly regular basis, rapidly run to multiple pages and then start going around in circles. They may be fun for a while but most people rapidly get bored of them. A core of members keep the things going and build up large post counts. Site crew allow them to run for a...

I drive a Seat Alhambra 1.9TD people carrier which I've had for the last 9 years, it's now 15 years old and has 170k miles on the clock, MOT is due in a fortnight's time and I don't think it's going to be economically viable to get another year's use out of it. There was a long list of advisory...

Teenage daughter has a pert-time job on Sainsbury's checkouts, just weekends and a Monday evening shift. Mrs. Mole picks her up on a Monday night and usually has a scout around for any price reductions. This week she came back with a few cartons of Tropicana Ruby Breakfast, reduced from £3.28...

Now look, I don't make kit wines, but when I saw one of these half price in Wilkinson's recently and did the maths, I thought I would give one a try. It's a 6.8kg kit which doesn't require the addition of sugar, just pour their jerry can of grape concentrate and glucose/fructose syrup into your...

Getting a 4th tap off Vossy has prompted me to sort out the Corny corner of my cellar. Before: Now: I've removed two Dalex flow control taps from their plastic towers, which were temporarily clamped to blocks of wood which were clipped to the tops of their respective kegs, and have stayed...

Well I was asked a question I wasn't prepared for. I got home, walked into the kitchen, and Darling Daughter asked if I liked her new dress. I said no. Well I thought she was wearing it for a bet, how was I to know it was a serious question? In a size 10 it would probably look very sexy, but...

Last year my wife's aunt had to go into residential care because she has become incapable of looking after herself, and we had to help with clearing out her mobile home, retrieving sentimental possessions and re-homing or disposing of furniture and fittings. There was a small chest freezer...

I had a pay-as-you-go mobile phone which suited me just fine, I could send text messages, talk to people occasionally and it had an adequate camera. I also had a fleece jumper with a left breast pocket. My wife washed them both. She had recently bought herself an iPhone so I used her old phone...
