I won chocolates from Hotel Chocolat, they were a Valentines Giveaway and they were delicious.....

Yesterday, I bought my DW chocolate as a Valentines Day present. Really nice. £2.25 reduced to 99p. Unfortunately, I could not get the reduced price sticker off.

Also, got her two bunches of tulips in M&S. £1.99 a bunch, and would have been £5 the week before.

Did you put her in a coma for a week so she wouldn't notice the date, or is she a fellow moneysaver?

My OH bought me a pink toolset.

Sadly, though, other than him nicking a few of the tools when he couldn't find his own, I don't think it's been used yet.

That's what landlords are for

Too much info of your OH and pink tools ca

I watched grand designs once and the woman had a pink hard hat and high viz vest, that's gotta be pretty funky.

Was that the couple who had made money in London (Banking?) and went back over the 7 bridge, to buy a tower folly on a hill top; overlooking the estate where they grew up?

I thought she was brilliant - she had the contractors eating out of her hand.

I'm a bit of a geek, thought i had seen every Grand Designs ever made, but don't remember this one...?!

I like Grand Designs, the presenter's cool too. When he was on top gear he said he had a fascination with how things work which he learned from his father, and his dad would often dismantle a car engine in the front room.

I doubt I'd be allowed to take an engine apart in the living room.

We reserve car part dismantling to the hallway, occasionally the dining room
Main storage area is the front garden though, stacked up on top of the old sofa

I am the same, I like to dismantle things, appliances etc- My success rate on actually getting them working & putting them back together is pretty poor though :cool:

I have been watching GD since I was a teen, as I originally wanted to be an architect, I love property... probably how I ended up nosing on this board

I'm fairly sure coming from you that means I'm probably happier in my ignorance
