    I certainly don't need any (although I was looking at cake/ pastry forks as we seem to have got into a habit of buying chocolate tortes and things like that (Waitrose reductions rule!) and I have been known to ping bits at Mr Squizz when I try to eat them with a normal fork or spoon :rotfl:

    Oh I had a funny experience yesterday, was wandering round the shops just looking at anything and everything, and I started looking at some cutlery in John Lewis. Was busy fondling some very nice (rather pricey) spoons when the sales assistant came up and asked me if I wanted some help - I said I was just having a look but somehow ended up in an indepth conversation about said rather pricey range of cutlery and how good it was, how well balanced and well made the pieces were and how he would definitely recommend them if I was looking to buy a set of cutlery that would last for many years. I'm quite impressed that I might look like someone who was in the market for a £370 cutlery set!http://www.johnlewis.com/230443451/Product.aspx .. must admit though they are gorgeous, and did feel very nice to hold.. is it wrong to be in love with some cutlery..? I wonder if I bought one thing a month how long it would take to get a whole set... :rotfl:

    60 peices = 60 months :p
    Thats like taking out a loan, 5 years @ £6.19 a month...sounds good lol

    We've got parts of 2 different sets, and it drives me mad when my knife and fork dont match each other. I'd just like a whole new set that matches :o

    had egg for my breakfast....

    pasta and pesto good idea.....for wednesday now..

    Having hilarious conversations with DS on facebook, teaching him to spell...inbetween expletives...(from him not me) and teaching DD1 to cook scrambled egg...she wanted to know how you know scrambled egg is ready.....I said till it looks like scrambled egg....she says she doesn't know what scrambled egg looks like.......

    I give up...anyone would think the had a bad upbringing or something....

    I suppose at least they are trying to learn now....

    off to gym...see ya later
