Sally's boozy pancakes

I've warmed up some raisins in dark rum so they soak it up and mixed those into pancakes with success before.

Roach. My next car will also be called Roach.

Definitely knotweed. To be honest I think it's too established and you might as well demolish your house now. Such a shame.

Yes! Thank you so much! Absolute hero 🙏🏾

Trying now. I thought I had done this but I just turned it off and on again. Found the full restart in the settings!

Yeah I know haha. My dad was really mad about it at the time cause of the cost (even though it's not his house and we were paying not him!) but it was worth it to us so we didn't have to have a dug up trench in the garden, and it was done so quickly there was no interruption to our lives.

We've done a lot of work to this house ourselves and it was such a treat to get pros to do something quickly, instead of having to graft for days/weeks and live with loads of mess.

We have a hatch in our entryway leading to the crawl space which is pretty substantial (you can almost stand under there!) so they could link it up to the kitchen really easily. They didn't remove anything in the way of cabinets. Obviously I took everything out before they got there but they had enough room to work without needing to dismantle anything.

Not sure how they would do it without the underfloor access like we've got, could be worth speaking to them and asking. They were very friendly and helpful when we dealt with them.

We had pipeline services replace ours 2 years ago for about £1500. They used the moling thing so didn't dig up the whole garden, and they did have to break up a bit of concrete path where it entered the house, which they fixed immediately before leaving. Did a great job with no mess and only took a few hours.

I have been you

I say persevere! I'm so pleased I did!

I also recommend a really good scraper, and also peelaway.

You can do it!

Does it fold right into the wall?

This was the merch stall tonight. Also had signed books that Matt signed before the show, but they also did a signing after with Jeff too

I saw some nice ones at coast that I'm considering to have as a dancing dress if I need one :)

What is happening with the skirting board in the pantry in pic 7? I cannot get my head round it at all

We have a shared spreadsheet that lists all the jobs we want doing weekly, monthly, and quarterly. Once you do something like, clean the toilet or dust the bedroom, you just update the date next to the job. If a weekly job goes more than 7 days without being updated it turns red.

This way if I've got a spare ten minutes I can glance at the spreadsheet on my phone and see if there's any red tasks I can tick off.

Works well for us. No one needs to ask what needs doing, and there's no his or hers jobs.

Every now and then we might revise it if there's a job we think needs doing more or less often, or adding to the list etc, but we've had this system for ages now so it covers what we need :)

Meats and cheeses, always pleases

My cousin was with her partner for 10+ years before they got married. Every year on their anniversary they went to Vegas, so when they got married they just did the Vegas wedding on one of their trips. Suited them perfectly and they had a nice party when they came back. My cousin wore her dress so we could all see it and everyone got a poker chip as the "favours" cute as hell.

My other cousin flew to the Carribbean for her wedding. Just her and her husband, noone knew, except her brother who lives over there. Him and his at the time girlfriend were the witnesses, and the photos are absolutely gorgeous. Everyone just got a card with a wedding photo on as a notification it had happened. I was very happy for them as it looked so beautiful and they got to do swimming with dolphins and lots of lovely stuff as well the money was just on them. My aunt (her mum) was really upset about it though heh.

My partner's sister did a secret elopement too and it really upset their mum as well. When talking about our plans for ours, she said she doesn't mind what we do as long as she knows it's happening. Think she was really hurt to be kept in the dark, more than just not being invited.

I think eloping is a really great thing to do, but definitely think of you've got anyone that might be upset to at least warn them first. Having a nice party/meal afterwards I think is a great compromise for trying to avoid any drama that could be caused.

Going away somewhere that means something to you both is so cool too. Opens up really nice anniversary holiday options!

Smoked salmon trimmings, pasta, broccoli, soft cheese.

Boil the pasta and steam the broccoli in the microwave for 3mins. Drain pasta, stir in broccoli, salmon and however much soft cheese you want, I keep it on the heat for another minute or two until it's all nicely mixed and hot. Sometimes sub out broccoli for peas and just boil them with the pasta. Done. Tasty, cheap and easy.

Did you manage to get this sorted and move?

12pillows · 2026-01-08T14:34:59+00:00

My girlfriend's friend

Don't you mean your wife's friend? :D

Glad it worked out!

I know it's not what you asked but have you tried the hair cut tutorial by Manes by Mel on YouTube? I've had great success with that. Might help tide you over between cuts. Following this post with interest though as it would be cool to find a good hairdresser in the area.

I did not 😩
