The little things

[bigcat]

Little things can make life better. I just got a butter dish and soft butter is way better than hard butter. Everyone should have a butter dish!

What little things do you suggest?

What a great question bigcat, and I'm sure many of the posts will prove useful for other members too!

I needed a bag to transport my Brompton folding bike, Brompton charge well over £100 for each bag. However I discovered that the Ikea storage bag at £3 fits it perfectly! Bargain

Always use a butter dish and proper butter, him indoors uses a different " butter " some plastic oily rubbish and it stinks of chemicals. It's a delicate operation in this house making sandwiches. I have white bread with proper butter and he has brown bread with chemicals I use 2 different knives and never the twain shall met.

I agree butter dishes are great, sadly they're not cat proof enough to be left out in our kitchen!!!!

I like Utterly Butterly, it comes in a tub so you don't need a butter dish, and it doesn't have all the saturated fat that you get in butter.

This one is, if it can survive twins it can survive cats.

So clever Barrychuckle! Way to find a brilliant way to save!

I think I got lucky and got a nice butter dish, Pearl. It is glazed stonewear and seems to have nice heft to it. I no nothing about such things and might just as easily picked up something plastic as in fact I did for my soap dish! I hope that doesn't effect the taste of the soap!

Great video! I have never watched more than an episode or two of that show. Thanks for reminding me. I stupidly get it mixed up with Father Ted which I personally didn't like. I must get unmixed up and unlike Compo make my way to the vicarage and watch that series.

We're off in our camper later this month & will be visiting the vicar of Dibley village, which is Turville. Did you know that the cottage next door was also used in goodnight Mr Tom? I'll be standing there with our own collie dog for a photo.

You’ll have to let us know what you think, I’m looking for places to visit in my camper this year!

I hope your campers are in slightly better shape than the place Foggy booked for a holiday by the seashore!

isn't it time you stabbed him the the non-buttery knife, or just get him to make his own disgusting sandwiches?

It's less messy doing it myself.
