Thanks for the helpful tips

Great tips Sylvia, thank you. Though you aren’t kidding about creaking bones come five o’clock lol. Great fish and chip shop in Medway about 15 minutes drive. Enjoy your day/s

Great tips. Just one addition.. if you want to drive to an eatery try Moseley village in Birmingham, near to the City centre, where there are some nice Indian restaurants and a few other choices of eateries to choose from. There is a car park in the middle of the village (not actually a village but residents like to call it that).

Love it!

Brilliant, and saved from landfill. My Local charity shop takes all my tiny scraps. They weigh them and send to the scrap man. All good. I recently used old jeans on a quilt challenge and sent a dangerous pocket off to an exhibition . Love your OG.
-
I know I have some insulbright lurking somewhere, but where? I also have an incredibly vile disgusting set of stained and burnt OG’s that look at me with disgust every time I go into the kitchen. Burnt because I have forgotten to turn the gas off before anything comes out of the oven to go on the stove top! I WILL find that heat resistant wadding to make some, but just which box is it in? If I do find it I might make some big “Man Chef Mittens” for DH to use on the BBQ as well!
-
I love how you have used the jean pockets! Sadly I am not a fan of oven gloves – I find them much harder to use than a folded up tea towel!
