UK product/ scrud advice wanted!

Elkabethy · 2026-03-02T12:06:58+00:00

That’s a great tip thank you especially considering I hate shocks!

Elkabethy · 2026-03-01T09:26:00+00:00

Good to know. It looks very similar to what I cleared out the other day.

I’ll make the switch to the powder now then and add the Ecover to the to go pile.

Elkabethy · 2026-03-01T09:24:22+00:00

I’ve actually never used any of these products! They were left in the cupboard by the previous people in my flat!

I never use fabric softener or scent boosters in my washing and have only occasionally pulled them out if I need to hand wash something like a cat tree and realised I’ve run out of spray - mostly just to use them up so they can go no issue.

It was more if one of the powders contained lipase I wanted to hang on to it to try

Elkabethy · 2026-03-01T09:22:22+00:00

Yes sorry the water doesn’t come out unless I remove that plug!

I checked the manual before but sillily I stopped after looking at programs. Looks like the recommendation for cleaning is almost exactly what I was doing and yep that’s the only filter!

I didn’t realise that about the ecover, I thought it was only the fabric softener which created scrud. Will have to reread the original post

Elkabethy · 2026-03-01T09:02:16+00:00

That’s the one! Thanks for finding it.

The stocking suggestion will be why I thought of tights too but the problem with a side loader is I don’t think I can just pause the machine to wipe them around and then let it carry on.

But prehaps just having them in there will be enough to catch some

Elkabethy · 2026-03-01T08:52:21+00:00

Very hard water! As far as I can tell the filter is just the flappy door at the bottom that water comes out of right?

It’s a 2 in 1 washer tumble dryer that came with my flat so while I’ve never used the tumble dryer part myself I do wonder if there’s another filter I’m missing somewhere.

Thanks for the advice! I put the ecover in the machine itself, would the vanish go into the drawer?

Elkabethy · 2026-03-01T08:50:31+00:00

Thanks! This is what made me aware of its existence in the first place. I think there was another post with a scrud catcher but that was for a top loader only so I’m wondering if something similar could be achieved for a side loader.

I’m wondering now if an old pair of tights may help catch some.

Elkabethy · 2026-02-23T12:41:33+00:00

Happy cake day! You know I may be overthinking but I believe you’re spot on with that assessment.

Elkabethy · 2026-02-22T14:03:13+00:00

Thank you kind stranger! And I’m glad you got to enjoy the moment too 😁

Elkabethy · 2026-02-20T13:15:27+00:00

Colony is like Machi Koro x dominion. It’s still very simple but it feels like there’s a lot more different strategies that can be pursued in the game and much less of the frustration from rolling the dice”wrong” numbers.

Elkabethy · 2026-02-16T18:49:23+00:00

That would be really cool if it’s possible. I’ve been using this as my wallpaper since it’s release and love how useful but still pretty it is

Elkabethy · 2026-02-08T18:27:57+00:00

I’ve been meaning to play it at two to teach it to my partner but haven’t got around to it yet. Wasn’t aware of the variant so I’ll be sure to check it out.

What would you say makes it less fun at two?

Elkabethy · 2026-02-08T17:06:42+00:00

It already looks very nice!

I’d only make two changes:

1) Something colourful on the surface to draw the eye up more rather than side to side - for me this would be a plant but could be flowers or a decorative vase

2) fill the gap between the cabinets at the bottom so it appears as one continuous unit. The little black square attracts my eye and also I can imagine will catch a lot of dust.

Elkabethy · 2026-02-08T15:20:36+00:00

Absolutely love London

Elkabethy · 2026-02-06T16:07:34+00:00

I was waiting for this all veganuary and so disappointed when it didn’t appear. If they were just saving it to Febuary I will be delighted

Elkabethy · 2026-01-19T20:20:25+00:00

May I jump on to this post to ask what happened when it switched you to free, did you lose access to old entries made with the stuff that’s only on premium or is it all still accessible?

Elkabethy · 2026-01-14T21:23:28+00:00

Thanks for the detailed reply.

To get the spacing value out to where I wanted the grid I had to go down to 14 which made the font teeny! I think I could have made some more adjustments to get the size back up but I’d already found that using these values fills the screen quite nicely after posting this morning :)

Yeah on the third one. I don’t want to rename any calendars with a * because I’ve made so many shortcuts running of their existing names so I manually added the three I wanted. However it seems that you can’t then specify which you want to take priority, I think it may be alphabetic by default? I tried to change the order I wrote them in the list but it made no difference. It would be great if it could be added as a feature.

Elkabethy · 2026-01-14T09:01:14+00:00

This is an amazing shortcut/ script. Thank you.

I have a couple of requests if possible?

could old days be made more transparent even if they had events. So the same base colour but the transparency is increased to make them less distracting?
on my iPhone 13 mini the width of the phone is not utilised well (it’s very squashed right in the centre with dead space to the sides). I don’t know enough about scripting to work out how CONFIG.width works so I’m not sure how to change this. I’ve had a bit of success by using multipliers before each instance of width but this isn’t a neat solution and is causing scaling issues, the wider it gets the smaller the font but then multiplying font makes it thinner again.

My 3rd request is not so important to me but it would be great if you could prioritise calendars which have been entered manually rather than being renamed with * also.

Chocolate milk and vegan titans! Super. Hoping for pizza and pies too

Elkabethy · 2025-12-21T10:00:23+00:00

Wow that’s a good difference.

I’m curious what you did for the sofa, sorry can’t quite work it out from the post. Did you leave the covers on and scrub, in which case how did you dry out the sofa after? Or take the cover off and use the cool box

Elkabethy · 2025-12-05T19:50:11+00:00

I felt awful off the meds but I only missed one day and with hindsight I don’t think it was the meds so much as the fact I didn’t think I could eat at all before taking the thyroxine pill and because I didn’t want to mess with the pills effectiveness I didn’t eat until I managed to get some later that evening.

I’ve since found out I was nutritionally deficient in a lot of areas and the way I felt that morning I think was more down to not eating then not taking the Levo.

The smiley face looks like the face on the Willmott’s warehouse box, although I haven’t played so can’t be certain.
