    And guess what?! I'm an August goddess as well - spooky or what?! Just a bit older than you lot though!! :cool:

    I'm an older August too, but prefer to think of myself more as a bronzed beach babe than goddess :whistle: :rotfl:.

    I like the 2nd one, very nice, can't picture it in black in my head though, do you have a pic??

    Btw, the kettle & toaster are both lush, very stylish, will look fab in your kitchen!!

    Can't help with the paint colour, pink is still my colour of choice!! :o


    I have gone for the 2nd ones in brushed steel, ordered them before I changed my mind! Found them on Amazon (interest free til Aug!) for £43 each (needed two) They have them in black:

    But that black is two harsh for me, I want something a bit aged (like me!!) Like a mottled black - is there such a thing??

    Just typed up an Ms and realised that is the only one I have booked for this week:eek:

    Need to sell some things to justify laying out anywhere near that price for a toaster n kettle. Also I would like them better if the steel bit wash brushed rather than shiney...need to see them in the flesh really rather than just online.

    Saw the Icona toaster & kettle on the Amazon site, more expensive than Lakeland. Is the Lakeland one a limited offer?? You don't want to miss out if you really want them!!

    Btw, they are both available in Scarlet Red, love that colour as well!!
    I could do with a new kettle. And my toaster is a bit rubbish ...
    Naughty TPA putting [STRIKE]ideas into my head[/STRIKE] temptation in my way!! :naughty::rotfl:

    Sadly, my kettle & toaster are working just fine. I would love shinny new stuff but I would feel guilty chucking out something that works..... ho hum:D

    Moi??

    I was tempted by the red ones, the lights came in red too, thought all together they would make a fab statement (credit card statement that is:rotfl:) Then I thought they are so 'out there' I would probably think in a years time ~OMG what have I done!

    No Mshops today but did manage an extra shift, still not booked any Ms's for the rest of the week either:eek:
