I went to a new dental clinic the other day as we’ve moved several hours from our old one. I was due for a check-up but once I chipped a piece off a tooth, it was all that was needed to push me to find a new clinic. I’m pleased...

Fleur I use little brushes like this but I tend to prefer the plastic ones. Some of those wire type got caught between my teeth and the wire broke. But I prefer these to floss - I never could get the hang of dental floss, I would end up with dribble running down my...

Do you have tasks you feel you must do before you go to sleep? If you don't do them does that bother you? I have to, I mean really, really have to, have a completely empty kitchen sink. It has to be clean and the dishes have to...

Fleur My partner goes round double checking all the doors, I think soon he will rattle the handles off! But like you I can't bear to leave dirty dishes, it's such a bad start to the day to come down and find all those horrible things there waiting for you...

I had a blistered toe from working 14 hours yesterday without sitting down. But all seems worth it when I checked my bank account as I got paid midnight last night. Another 14 hour shift. I'm hoping my blistered toe would last...

Fleur Ooh that sounds painful. Can you wear different shoes or something to take the pressure off?

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...

This fish was empty when I saw it last month. The idea was to put all rubbish and litter from the beach here to show the impact of plastic in the oceans. I can't believe it's now full. Simple are yet so powerful. Making us more...

@Fleura just posted about fixing the zip on her daughter’s boots. Thanks for the mention, Fleur. I had told her about my tote bag where the slider has broken off, leaving a very sharp but tiny piece that had held the slider....

Fleur Thanks for the mention : ) I can see why you don't want to toss that. Of course a simpler solution would just be to remove the zip altogether and just use it that way. Or you could fit a new zip, it's much easier in a bag than a boot!

Fleur It still makes me laugh! But she still makes tea with the same kettle so that's a win! But wow a whole bus! That must have taken a lot of work (and rivets!)

Fleur That's funny! I wasn't expecting this to be a tutorial! But if it helps, great. And it would be lovely if you could bring something you love back into use. Maybe you could find a suitable zip on something in a charity shop bargain bin, or ask on Freegle, or...

Fleur @flapiz that's true. And it is one of the least harmful types of litter - animals don't accidentally eat it or get tangled up in it and drown.
