Problem I have is there are no local lockers in my home village down in little Odiham. Nearest locker drops for us would be Alton or Hook but my wife would have to drive drive 20-30mins in the wrong direction away from her work to pick the items up and then head home so would add nearly an hour to her day. Where I work away during the week I can get deliveries but due to nature of where I work your at the liberty of a post room that isn’t open every day for personal deliveries so that restricts that option.
It’s why I tend to pay more for set times so Mrs M can be home for them, generally most companies I’ve used for couriers are fine even Hermes. But whenever it’s Royal Mail it’s always an issue it’s like they think nobody where I live works and should do their job for them!

Smooth peanut butter has a good use, using it on cars to recover black plastic from the white of wax residue.
That’s about it, for any peanut butter….apart from mouse traps as bait.

trying to search for a warm spotlight that i can put behind a vase in display cabinet... The idea is that the light will be hidden behind the object and create a shadow.
i found a few battery operated ones.
Now trying to find a small warm spotlight with either an endoscopic or gooseneck. I can see on Temu but cant find an affordable one on usual website.. I had unistalled Temu a while ago. I dont want to go to temu to buy a £15 spotlight then spend another 50 quid buying other knick knacks...

We have a small food waste bin that gets collected once a week, about the size of a small ice box. We've just noticed it is not there, either stolen by someone who's own was blown away or blown away in its own right. I can order another from the council but it's still irritating.

Check out the local Facebook group - we had a thief going around stealing them - it was hot gossip
We've posted a request on there, in case it's ended up in someone's hedge. Weird thing to steal multiple ones. I understand someone being too lazy to order one online, pathetic still, but what would someone use multiple ones for?

Engagement bait. Very common now for random Facebook pages to post a comment that's clearly and obviously wrong, just so hundreds comment on it to tell them so - thus boosting their engagement numbers. Very frustrating since even commenting to point out it's engagement bait fulfils their requirement.

No idea - suspect just “yoofs” but over a period of about 3 weeks about 40-50 went missing
What's the difference between click bait and engagement gate? Never heard that phrase before.Engagement bait.

Thought this was going to be a story about someone getting tricked into proposing

Fortunately, our food waste goes into the brown garden waste bin which the council sell for compost.
The only problem with them is the council workers leaving them blocking the pavements after emptying them.

Clickbait is when there's an article they want you to click on. Engagement bait is when they simply want to provoke lots of people into doing comments or reaction buttons so it boosts their engagement numbers, then subsequently the Facebook algorithm shows their page to more people.

That’s rough mate. So sorry for your loss, feels like we have all the time in the world until suddenly we don’t. Don’t focus on what could’ve been, remember all the great things you did manage to do together and celebrate that.Grampa died today, absolutely gutted, always feel like you should of done more
