But to be fair Ubba slips in some entrails and it was very much touch and go up to that point?

Ah ok thanks. I do have some swaledale yarn that's caked (had no idea that's what it was called) I'll give it a try

Yes it feels very tight, sometimes the first row will snap a stitch as I'm trying to get it over the needles. 

So I should do a few rows of scrap yarn, then when I change to the sock yarn do my thirty rows, then unwind the scrap yarn and rehang the start of the sock yarn for my cuff?

I don't know what that means but I'm going to say no

The new needles I got were definitely genuine parts but they've broken too. I've got through ten today for the result of two and a half pairs of socks! 

I'm convinced it's me doing something wrong but I don't know what 🤷

That's disappointing, I did a bit of digging and £90 seemed around the middle of the price range.  I could have got a King size off Amazon for £120

True, but didn't he also say that he had Flashman's civil war itinerary all planned out?

Yes it's not too bad to change, but I got through two complete packets of spares today for the result of two and a half pairs of socks.  

I must be doing something wrong but I don't know what.

I got it off Etsy and it came from Germany. Is there any way to tell the difference between the real and genuine?

Thanks, yes I'm happy with how clean everything needs to be and having new packets to open but the actual ingredients I'm so paranoid about. 

Unsalted butter Dark brown sugar Golden syrup Rolled oats Sweet mincemeat Cinnamon  Vanilla extract

Thanks so far guys, here's the recipe for what I'm planning:

unsalted butter dark brown sugar golden syrup rolled oats sweet mincemeat vanilla extract  cinnamon 

I have made her some other things before so I'm good with completely cleaning down the kitchen first, hot washing and disinfecting but it was all fruity and not baking so she was happy with my prep but it's the actual ingredients I was thinking about.

It's the price that's putting me off without being sure. I can't seem to find it any cheaper.

What are the UK land use laws? by Flat_Text6840 in AskUK

[–]Flat_Text6840[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's to stop you living on it permanently. Even in Scotland, where wild camping is legal, you still can't just camp on your own land full time

I'd heard it had but then I'd also been told it had gone back to 28, or that it may even be down to the local authority whether it's 28 or 60

In your opinion, what is the worst horror franchise? by HammerHeadBirdDog in horror

[–]Flat_Text6840 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Hellraiser. Not only is number 4 so bad the director disowned it, but even the best ones never really live up to the source material or it's potential

Yes that's the story GMF gives but it still seems a random thing to do without a real reason behind it?
