They are not cutworms.

They are definitely centipedes or millipedes. I can't tell from the picture, but centipedes have one pair of legs per segment and millipedes have two.

I can't offer any more help than that, sorry.

My favourite easy cake is banana cake with a cream cheese icing. Chocolate afghans are good too if cookies are ok for your bake sale.

I second the use of the foil trays. I always use them if I am making cakes to take outside the house.

I make yogurt on a regular basis now and have a very easy method. I heat a jug of milk in the microwave for 2 minutes until it is too hot to hold your finger in it. then I leave it to cool for about 20 minutes until it is comfortable to hold your finger in it for some time - I don't have a thermomet...

Thanks for all your help. I followed Mike's instructions. I crushed the grapes, added 1 cup of sugar, juice of half a lemon and the yeast (1 teaspoon). Left it all for 2 weeks and then took the solids out. Decanted it off the sediment twice. It made a little more than 3 bottles. The first bottle was...

You need to strengthen your quad muscles. If your thigh muscles are strong this will take the strain away from your knees. There are lots of simple quad muscle exercises you can do without any equipment. The simplest one is probably to sit on the bed with your leg straight out in front of you and yo...

I think he went to Asda........... :iconbiggrin: :iconbiggrin: No I was asleep! Thanks for your help Mike and Graham. The people on this website are awesome! :icon_smile: So, add the juice of half a lemon and then leave the solid stuff in longer than 4 days but not as long as 3 weeks. Great! I just...

Thanks for this. So, let me check I understand this correctly. I crush the grapes, add 250g of sugar per gallon of juice that the grapes give (or add no sugar in which case the alcohol content might be lower). Add some yeast to the crushed grapes (is a teaspoon enough or should I add more?). Leave i...

Okay I have read MKG's excellent easy guide to making wine and I want to have a go. http://www.selfsufficientish.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=54&t=15819&hilit=winemaking+beginner+grape&start=15 However, I have been given 5kg of black grapes and I would like to try with these (rather than th...

Congratulations! That is a great achievement.

We have underfloor heating too. In fact, pretty much everyone in Korea has it. I like it as it gives a nice warmth and the floor is warm too. We have vinyl (wood effect) floors. Here in Korea most people sit and sleep on the floor so they sit on the warm area too. It used to be run from fires heatin...

Spam about online poker maybe! but posting all over the place.

I also made an agreement with my family not to buy Christmas gifts. It works well and is good for us as there is not really anything we want or they want. My sister wanted to continue buying gifts for my parents but always does those Oxfam gifts. I receive random gifts from other people all the time...

What a faff for you. I hope you get it sorted out soon too. I would second trying to find out if a Mirena is ok with SJW. It is a very good alternative to the pill and doesn't have the coil's problem of causing heavy periods - in fact if you are lucky it stops them altogether!

I agree with all that has been said. It is possibly a HSE issue so contact the Sainsbury's head office and ask them about their policy. I hope you never have to experience a robbery but what Muddy Witch said is very good advice. It is not your money so should it ever happen just give the money to th...

Happy Birthday in 27 days. In 15 days I will turn 40. I am also not having a party but will be having dinner and drinks with friends. I totally agree about feeling young, to be honest even though my circumstances are very different I don't feel any different to when I was about 21. I don't expect my...
