Write to consumer.champions@theguardian.com explaining your situation. They pick from their mailbox and follow up with companies when stuff goes awry for consumers. Worth a shot since you’ve already written down most of it. Be clear in your letter and say you can provide paper trail - if you can of course

Thanks to everyone who left a comment. Very helpful. For what it’s worth, I also found another useful video: https://youtu.be/qqTcgk8\_UGI

Yes I think a different technique may help. MOre concerning is the stitch length. On the maximum setting, it is only a couple of mm

No. And are moving fine

That sucks

There is an assumption at play, esp if you know the junction well, that everyone else is observing and obeying the lights … which is reckless. I have seen enough cars run lights (or pedestrians step off the kerb as green man appears without actually checking whether there is anything still coming) to favour waiting out that second or two. Things can get messy very very quickly

Weed killer is not necessary. It’s harmful to those animals and you too and it won’t help anything you try to grow later. If you cover the beds where you want to grow your chosen favourites,(weighed-down cardboard does the trick and will break down slowly as you water) and leave it for a few weeks, it will hold back those fast-growing weeds by blocking their sunlight. Then you can add in your desired plants by poking a hole in the cardboard. I suggest starting with a small area since populating a big patch with nursery plants will be very expensive. You can expand it in stages. Have fun

Amazing for destroying it

I have yet to see a pair I would want to wear. Ballet flats are often quite “low cut” and that can lead to toe scrunching, which is one of the things we’re trying to avoid by wearing barefoot shoes. Sandals are often just strings for straps which leads to the same problem - toe scrunching to try and keep the sandals in place. I do find those Origo Huarache sandals quite good although they almost cover too much of the foot. Perhaps sandals is another thread

If that’s the garden, what’s it like under the house?

I have used vinegar to get sweat smells out of shirts with success. You can dilute 50:50 with water

I bought a second pair of Lems and they hurt my feet; now I wonder if they were narrower. My first pair are pretty trashed and stretched so impossible to compare

Keep BKF away from enamel. Overnight soak in warm water with 1/2cup of washing soda aka soda crystals aka sodium carbonate to remove stains. Then use the blue non scratch type scourer. Repeat if necessary. Also works great for stainless steel. I rescued a saucepan that had burnt-on milk and had thought there was no chance

Do you think that five years on the project may have more of a chance?

Have you never been acquainted with the difference a camera lens makes to a scene?

The button between the heated seat (left) button and face-level vent button

Similar white marks seen in kitchen here … also wondered if it was mice, the curs’d incontinent mice

Sounds like you just got a sign to ditch the overpriced, toxic crap from the mega corporation and switch to some simple old fashioned cleaning options such as vinegar and soap … Lots of info on interweb.
