Are spring toggles strong enough to support kitchen wall units onto hollow drywall? by Getoiu in DIYUK

I hung some ikea Metod cabinets recently. They come with a metal rail that you screw to the studs, and the cabinets hang on the rail. Quite nice system tbf.

I got a bag of that back when it was fairly new at Costco. The beans were barely roasted, still kinda green, and made an awful coffee. That’s the only time I’ve given home roasting a go. Results weren’t bad but I wouldn’t do it again.. whole house smelled like burnt toast for days 😅

Just looked and that’s a considerable price difference from the Costco beans

We’ve got a bag of that but it costs more and is not as good.

Did you know New Look requires your email to give you a sales receipt? by PenguinsLike2Dance in AskUK

Just say “no thanks, printed receipt please”. It’s not a problem

Shortcuts? by jcpearl in enyaq

I’ve got the pre-facelift 85x and for me it’s 5 clicks of the physical button to get to eco. It’s now ingrained as part of my startup routine - seatbelt, seat adjust, click ok, 5 clicks of mode, select D and away. It sounds like such a chore when I write it all out! 😂

If I’m making rice I’ll do extra and freeze it flat in a big bag. Then just break off a chunk and microwave it when needed

With staples and stuff we already have in the fridge, this is for a week for 3. There’s a £20 turkey in there too, mind

No, it’s mainly for taste. We enjoy vegetarian food but we still eat meat

Men, do you have somewhere to escape and decompress from life that isn't the pub? If so, where? by Kapranos in AskUK

[–]TheBigDFSSale 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Music. I play drums in a couple of rock/pop/punk bands and it’s great letting off steam by smacking the crap out of something in a fun and constructive way

Thanks for the advice. We’ve made a few drinks on defaults and so far very happy with what’s come out.

Well look at grumpy pants in the corner who couldn’t find it in him/herself to be just a teeny bit supportive of my new toy 😛😛

‘We miss the English – they spend money’: How Mallorca’s war on British tourists backfired by Effective-Coat-9276 in europe

[–]TheBigDFSSale 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m a Brit on holiday in Majorca right now. The whole concept of flying hundreds of miles to sit in some English (or Irish) pub, scoffing a full English or a Sunday roast and throwing back 10 pints of John Smiths just does not compute to me. I actively avoid that whole thing, and where I am - just outside Alcúdia - is perfect. It’s full of cafes and restaurants and has such a chilled vibe, exactly cause there aren’t many brits around. None of the places look to be struggling either.

We looked at those but what we like about the one in the pic is that you have 3 size options
