well when I had my 'revelation' my old (bought in a sale and used daily); cutlery got taken to work for the cutlery drawer there and I now use, daily, the cutlery received as a wedding gift (1st wedding!) which was saved for 'Sunday best'
I now do not have BEST anything
life's too short (IMO)

Agreed! We use denby (wedding present) as everyday as we decided to only get one set of stuff, same with the cutlery

Oh pants, I knew I was meant to do something tonight - it was make more white choc fudge to take to family. Oh well, I bought the stuff, I will have to take it with me and make at my mum's!

I might just consider the email campaign. And I'd love the book - not sure if you have my home address - I'll PM you.

Let us know when the campaign is set up... if anyone can get it going, you can!

soappie - that story in the echo is outrageous. I know the people that volunteer at one of the homeless drop ins, they would have been so grateful for them! Grrrr. :mad::mad::mad::mad:

greenbee/soappie - I'll be next on the list for that book if that's ok...

Well we wouldn't want to waste it :D so of course you can have it when soappie has finished with it!

I haven't managed to have a bath this evening after all, as I've been faffing about.

Off to bed now...

ETA - must gut the house tomorrow... need to locate the safe key that I put somewhere clever before my last trip...

thifty

Good luck to your hubbie Rosepink and nice to have you back home with us flyladies. I'm off too night all

Poppytime I agree, if DD says that you know something isn't right. Doesn't make it any easier for you ((hugs))
tooch hope you feel better tomorrow
stef welcome back, what a lovely thing to be doing, good luck with the house I am sure it is not that bad x
Ishtar ((squish hugs)) for you and your parents, I have a WIL who used to do that (witch in law) I now just don't see her if possible
soappie KF dump stuff here too, WIL was supervisor there before she cleared off abroad. Fast food places if they follow guidelines & are not careful can have a large bin of food waste a week.

Welcome to newbies & welcome back some familiar faces, always gets busy here this time of year with new leaves etc

Tuesday list done woooooot I just did the windows, cleaned the radiator, tv unit etc too :j:j:jI did all coats etc when they finished school, second star please :j:j:j

Oh & bad pigpen making me clean the sofa then I get a call....8.30pm on a bank holiday to say my new ones will be here on Wednesday afternoon :j:jweather dependant..they are based in Wales...

Burried in bills/accounts, trying to get old bills settled before the Nude Rear comes in......but the money ain't quite elastic so choosing carefully....think it might be a 'finish tomorrow' job.

Thanks hun xx

And sorry to say (about the furniture) but we have been given snow for tomorrow night/ wed morn......do you know where in Wales???????

I give out my address everytime, but usually speak to the other person on the phone first. HTH.

Thanks MrsChaos, xx

toochoosey, if you are in any way concerned ask them to meet you somewhere but don't go alone. I always make sure (if it is someone I have not met before) that my partner will be in. Keeping yourself safe is number one priority.

As for where in Wales, they didn't say & I've seen the forecast.....hmmmm....might be best to see if we can get the old one in the garage so we don't get left without one.
