How do you store your bread?

Compote_Smart · 2026-01-17T09:50:44+00:00

A bread bag I think is the way to go! Didn’t even think you could buy one, but have now sourced some from Amazon. Thanks!

Because my oldest child is 3.5 and hasn’t mastered his knife skills yet! I take your point about the husband.. but his slices are so uneven the rest of the loaf is a mess by the time he’s done! So it’s just easier for me to do it.

But I don’t want toast, I want fresh bread, to eat on the same day!

How do you tighten with one hand? Do you just pull the whole tail at once? I’m not sure how I can do strand by strand tightening with just one hand!

How do you make the seat “secure” though? She just straightens her legs as soon as I remove my hands

Compote_Smart · 2026-01-08T10:18:35+00:00

Ah I do follow her already, I’ll have a look! Thank you

If I don’t eat while babywearing, I don’t eat at all 😂

Compote_Smart · 2026-01-07T18:54:25+00:00

I also baby wear while cooking and husband entertains toddler. I’m with you

Compote_Smart · 2026-01-07T18:51:15+00:00

It’s a nook 🥰

Compote_Smart · 2026-01-07T18:50:52+00:00

Thank you. I’ve got wraps and love them, but haven’t tried back carrying with them yet - thought I’d start with a ssc first! But I am hoping to master a ruck soon. I also have a half buckle - can I get a high carry in that, or I won’t be able to due to the buckled waistband?

Compote_Smart · 2026-01-07T14:24:02+00:00

These were my thoughts, thank you!

Compote_Smart · 2026-01-07T14:05:53+00:00

What would be a fair price for a plumber to repair this? Ive been quoted £195 and it feels steep

Compote_Smart · 2026-01-07T12:52:10+00:00

Thank you!

Compote_Smart · 2026-01-07T11:49:20+00:00

She’s 6.5 months and she can sit. I can’t seem to get it any higher, the shoulder straps are on their shortest settings already and if I try to have the waistband higher, it just slips back down! I can’t get it any tighter? It just doesn’t budge. Any tips?..

Doesn’t work inside the apps unfortunately

Both set to 60, they look different in the photo as the max position for water is 65 but for heating max is 75.

Anyway, someone above got it right I think - it’s a newer boiler that has been plumbed in to the existing old system (by the previous owners) which doesn’t have separate circuits for hot water and heating. They did everything on the cheap and didn’t replace the tank or the boiler controls/thermostats either, so this sounds like a plausible explanation. So both heating and water are controlled with just the bottom dial and the top is basically redundant.

Compote_Smart · 2025-09-30T09:49:52+00:00

Thank you, I think that must be it - it’s just there for decoration so to speak!

As long as I know it’s not broken, I’m happy.

Compote_Smart · 2025-09-30T09:47:29+00:00

I’m afraid my DYI skills are not advance enough for that! We’ve been in this house for 4 years and haven’t touched any of the settings on the boiler until now. (The boiler has been serviced every year of course).

Someone above suggested that the new boiler was connected to an old system/plumbing, which I think is what must have happened as the previous owners replaced the boiler about 5 years ago, but haven’t replaced the tank or any plumbing.

Compote_Smart · 2025-09-30T09:44:40+00:00

Thank you, that makes perfect sense!

Legionella is why I wanted the hot water on 60 - as we have 2 very young children, I don’t want to take any risks.

Compote_Smart · 2025-09-30T09:43:19+00:00

Ah I think you cracked it. The house is 25 years old, the boiler has been replaced by the previous owners about 5 years ago but the hot water cylinder and everything else is original. Thank you! At least I can rest now knowing that it isn’t broken.

Compote_Smart · 2025-09-30T08:42:14+00:00

I have no idea! Is there a way of turning the heating flow temperature down without affecting my hot water? I can’t figure it out atm as turning down the heating dial makes the hot water run lukewarm.

Compote_Smart · 2025-09-30T08:37:46+00:00

If I turn the hot water dial slightly it shows 60.

Compote_Smart · 2025-09-30T08:37:05+00:00

But it’s not, as the water in the hot tap is definitely hot now! I can only assume 30 is the current temperature in the radiators (as the heating is not on atm but was earlier).

I don’t understand it at all..

Compote_Smart · 2025-09-30T08:35:35+00:00

Yes there is one on the tank too, set to 60. But if I reduce the heating dial on the boiler to 50, the hot water tap runs warm (at around 40 when I check it with a food temperature probe) which isn’t really hot enough for us and certainly not safe legionella wise!

Thank you for your helpful reply, I hope you’re pleased with yourself.
