    :rotfl: My best friends son who is 16 bought a hot chocolate in Starbucks and walked out with the cup, he honestly thought that the price he paid for the hot chocolate with marshmallows included the cup:eek:

    I quite fancied one of their chairs, but couldnt work out how to get it out without being seen :rotfl:

    Starbucks are the wrong shape too! It's a really strange little machine.

    Snaggles, I'm so sorry to hear all that.

    If anyone does want a book group on here, I'm happy to organise it. I run a real life one so I'm used to it.

    Well I went into town but forgot to take ID, so I couldn't open the account. I've got the form though so hopefully I can do it in the next couple of days. I also couldn't find a mug I need. My dad got me a coffee machine for my birthday but none of my cups fit it. I really want one of the short fat small cappuccino mugs but couldn't find any. So if anyone's got any ideas of where I can look that'd be great!

    TJ Hughes sometimes have some good kitchen stuff cheap - I got all my plates and cups out of there when I moved into my flat. Ikea would be the obvious choice if you've got one near you? Otherwise Debenhams or John Lewis but they would be a bit more expensive. Or maybe Argos?

    Which machine is it? Have you tried googling it, other peeps might have had the same problem ;)

    I have a lovely collection of speciality lager glasses in the drinks cabinet. One came all the way from Germany:D
    But these things take time, I know that I'm, the most inept that ever stepped.

    I did think about 'accidentally' letting a cafe nero one fall into my bag, but I'm too honest! Actually, I think they might sell them, they used to.

    I'll post a message about a book club, if no one minds me organising it?

    You are all very naughty pinching things from cafes and bars..

    I have a nice little Spanish pottery jar from a tapas restaurant but they deserved that for having rubbish service.. :rotfl:
