Thanks Malcolm aka @fixed1t
This blog contains a number of simple money saving solutions I have discovered to potentially expensive repairs or replacements. For Example: Cleaning of the shower mould using domestos grot buster saved me hundreds of pounds, and the fact that it keeps the mould out of the caulk saves me hours of additional cleaning.

How To Restore Your Hand Made Chewed Up Plastic Dog Toys
How To Restore Your Hand Made Chewed Up Plastic Dog Toys
In my last video:
How To Make Your Own Christmas Plastic Dog Chew Toys
I showed how to make your own toys. In this video I'll show you how to restore the chewed ones to reshaped and revitalise them and remove any chewed sharpened points.
So The Toys Will Last A very Long Time - No More Need To Buy New Replacements.
#fixed1tMONEYSAVINGtips
It doesn't take our two sight hounds long to start chewing up new toys they can destroy shop bought toys in a matter of days leaving the bits scattered all over the house.
As you can see below they have already given the figure of eight I made
and the old re-vitalised bone I made:
a good chewing.
But as you saw in the above video, its easy to revitalise so the toys just go on working. If you do end up throwing some of the badly chewed bits after, either deliberately or by vacuuming them up, then just add a few more Polymorph beads to the hot what to make up for the loss.
#fixed1tRESCUEdogs
Its also very cheap, and if you screw up using it, you just chuck it back into a cup of hot water and start again, its that simple.

Amazon Has A Refurbished Technology Site
I've just stumble across a new Amazon Certified Refurbished technology site, which appears to offer high quality certified technology refurbished products for much less than their original 'New' technology prices. It looks like a great place to look before ordering the NEW item to give you some idea of the used prices of things.
I've therefore included a link to it on the left hand vertical banner of this blog, it looks a bit like the picture included below.
I must get round to selling some of the refurbished technology I have repaired, modified and updated.

BBC News - City of Hamburg Bans Nespresso Pods
In February 2016 the BBC ran a piece called:
Is there a serious problem with coffee capsules?
"The German city of Hamburg has banned coffee pods from state-run buildings as part of an environmental drive to reduce waste. " Looking at their so-called green procurement policy " the German city of Hamburg last month introduced a ban on buying "certain polluting products or product components" with council money. The ban includes specific terms for "equipment for hot drinks in which portion packaging is used" - specifically singling out the "Kaffeekapselmaschine", or coffee capsule machine, which accounts for one in eight coffees sold in Germany."
The problem is not that the individual components within a coffee capsules cannot be recycled, its that mixed together they are difficult, expensive and time consuming to separate and are therefore a expensive contaminate to the recycling system.
Nespresso do not apparently give figures on the amount of returned pods that are recycled and how many are dumped, often people think that because Nespresso has a collection service for old pods that these are all being recycled ethically and re-used.

Nespresso do not apparently give figures on the amount of returned pods that are recycled and how many are dumped, often people think that because Nespresso has a collection service for old pods that these are all being recycled ethically and re-used.
This is why I decided to investigate this myself and to work out a method to enable me to recycle any of the Aluminium capsules I use which a often the Nespresso brand, as other use plastic pods.
The instructions in my video show how to quickly separate the components in their recyclable parts so that you can drink great coffee but not add to the problem.
Click For My Blog Post and Watch My Pod Recycling Video
Leaving the recycling to the manufacturer merely passes the buck and clears the conscience if you believe they are ethically disposing of them. But lets face it, big business isn't renowned for its willingness to use 'profit' to help the environment when there are cheaper options. Shareholders aren't pleased to be told their dividend was spent clearing the waste ;-) But read the article yourself.

The Nespresso Coffee Machine has heralded in the mass use of the one-off quick use Capsule And Pod coffee making and drinking.
People have wrongly assumed that these COFFEE CAPSULES and PODS are recyclable. Sadly this is not the case due to their mix of metal and organic matter. But for those that care about the environment but want to drink their lovely fresh coffee, this is how fixed1t recycles them! #fixed1tENVIROMENTALtips

Sainsbury French Style Coffee with Chicory
This is the fair-trade coffee with chicory I used in my Pod Capsule video.
Its from Sainsbury supermarket UK. A 227g bag costs £2.30 which for chicory coffee is an excellent price.
Its incredibly tasty as there is a roughly 45% mix of Coffee and Chicory, if you like strong coffee this could suit your taste.
What I also noticed was that because I wasn't packing the coffee into the Pod capsule very hard, it allowed more air and water flow that led to a much tastier frothy coffee as can be seen in the video.
Video 1:
Making Great Coffee With Refillable Reusable Nespresso Like Capsule Pods
Although I was expecting saving with the reusable refillable pod capsules, I was amazed that I could make 9 capsules for the price of 1 x Nespresso capsule.

Making Great Coffee With Refillable Reusable Nespresso Like Capsule Pods
The cost of the coffee for Nespresso Coffee Machines and their competitors is expensive. Much more expensive than the bags of excellent cafetiere coffee. In this video I try out the Refillable Reusable Pods, identify issues and show a great fix. Using this technique I get an excellent cup of coffee every time from my machine at a fraction of the Nespresso Pod costs.
