A few days ago my partner was saying that his jeans needed mending. He put his phone in his pocket – or thought he did – and then as he walked out of a shop his phone appeared out of the bottom of his trouser leg, much to the...

A new brush for old!

Fleur @Fleura (34943) • United Kingdom 8 Jul 24

Since Little One’s hair has grown longer and longer, it’s been more difficult to brush without getting into a terrible tangle. So in the end I gave her my nice hairbrush as that seemed to work the best (after washing it of...

My latest recycling project

Fleur @Fleura (34943) • United Kingdom 25 Jan 24

When I think about it I do seem to write quite often about my repair and recycling projects. I guess that’s just a reflection of my life! My latest project was to make something out of my favourite trousers. I bought them back in...

A new lease of life for my PJs!

Fleur @Fleura (34943) • United Kingdom 23 Jan 24

About 24 years ago I think, a work colleague moved across the country and invited me to visit. I was delighted to see her again and to have an excuse to see another part of the country but I had one problem - at that time I never...

The way things used to be

Fleur @Fleura (34943) • United Kingdom 27 Nov 22

It’s funny but not so long ago I was chatting to Little One about modern lifestyles and how things have changed. We were doing some sewing and I was talking about how useful it is to be able to make and/or mend things and how life...

All ready for summer!

Fleur @Fleura (34943) • United Kingdom 25 Mar 22

I have had this old folding chair for many years. I'm not even sure where it came from originally, I might have rescued it from being thrown out somewhere. For a long time it was rather tatty-looking, with its striped canvas...

Another minor repair

Fleur @Fleura (34943) • United Kingdom 31 Jan 22

Next on my list of minor repairs was this lap tray. I’ve had it several years already and it gets used a lot, for writing and drawing while sitting on the sofa (for me or the girls), for writing or using my laptop in bed, and even...

Yet another repair story

Fleur @Fleura (34943) • United Kingdom 27 Jan 22

This is for you @JudyEv! My daughter (‘Big One’) has some boots she loves. But sadly the zip pull on one of them broke right off. And not just the little dangly bit that you actually pull, but the part of the slider that holds it...

Keeping favourite things - even if they’re broken

Fleur @Fleura (34943) • United Kingdom 27 Jan 22

A comment by @BarBaraPrz just reminded me of this. A couple of years ago I was visiting a friend one morning. She also had another friend visiting at the time and was making us all tea, for which she was heating water in a kettle...

Another minor victory

Fleur @Fleura (34943) • United Kingdom 26 Jan 22

Another minor victory in my fight against waste. This folder was not so useful as the elastic straps that hold it closed had got old and saggy and continuously fell off. It would be so easy to toss it and buy another. And a new...

Another repair

Fleur @Fleura (34943) • United Kingdom 25 Jan 22

The next thing on my list to fix was this - do you know what it is? It’s a very simple bed heater. I guess it’s just one step up from the old warming pans where you would put hot coals inside (yes I have one of those as...

I’m on a roll!

Fleur @Fleura (34943) • United Kingdom 24 Jan 22

I’m going through a bit of a ‘make do and mend’ phase here at the moment. Not that I don’t normally mend things, it’s just that sometimes they have to wait a while before I get around to fixing the problem. First on my list was...

Looking in my garden we have a sand pit and four bags of sand which we haven't yet used yet. This is because of bad weather last summer. Let us hope we get good enough weather this summer. My daughter's slide was outside all...

Constantly Refusing an Interest Category

webeishere @webeishere (36313) • United States 8 Oct 09

Man this is the one thing I feel that myLot administration would have tended to by now. Once a new interest category for us shows to add to our private interests after we respond, we click no to "add" it to our interests. Yet when...
