    Well didn't manage 16 miles but considering the roads/pavements I was pleased with my trecherous 13.5 miles and have now just had some lovely honey on toast. Going to take DD to the sealife centre now (with our free passes) as she wants to see nemo!

    Morning all, just a flying visit but I've got some bamboo socks, they're really soft and comfy! Don't think they were £35 though!

    I've got a hemp t-shirt, peace and love man!
    Could always smoke it when it gets dirty I 'spose.


    Is it just me here whistling in the dark?

    almost pepe!!

    I've just been wrestling with some pasta dough I've made to test tomorrow's recipe - 5 minutes of taking my aggression and frustrations out by kneading the dough was quite therapeutic!

    I've an overwhelming urge to go to Ikea - luckily the nearst one is about 50odd miles away so I shan't bother.

    Why don't you just cover up all the external doors in your house, arrange your furniture in a maze-like configuration, then wander around aimlessly for 4 hours - with pencil and tape-measure in hand - looking for the way out...

    I've never been to an IKEA...........part of me thinks I must be missing out because of the wonderment, excitement and look on people's faces when they say they are going.........part of me just doesn't get it..........but there is one opening in Southampton next week so after the initial free for all crush to get through the doors, I might get the train over there and see what all the fuss is about, maybe I too will convert to the Church of Ikea....;)

    Hello BB.
    Dont bother with IKEA, you spend two hours having people wander aimlessly about in front of you, find something that you want, then go to the warehouse area and find an empty shelf at the allocated location for your purchase!
    Then you find a member of Staff ( sorry, Team member, colleague, comrade or summat ) who just shrug their shoulders.
    Then go to the Swedish Food section get a big bag of Dime Bars and console yourself...........steer well clear.
    its not worth it for a handful of little pencils and a paper tape-measure.:D
