dear god..........just looking at that bread bin website.......£293 for a roasting tin........£122 for a draining board rack.....the only thing I can see on the site I would say 'yes please' to - and that would have to be a special gift rather than an impulse buy would be these glasses at £29 for 6. I like goblet style glasses.

How could anyone spend that on a roasting tin? What on earth can be that good about a roasting tin? :eek:

Have you seen the slightly more conical style goblets in M&S BB? I like those - I treated myself to a few on sale last year: http://www.marksandspencer.com/Marks-and-Spencer-V-Shaped-Conical/dp/B0018APN7Q?ie=UTF8&qid=1273410892&categoryNodeID=43670030&ref=sr_1_9&page=&node=217344031&sr=1-9&mnSBrand=core&_encoding=UTF8&rh=n%3A217344031%2Cn%3A217347031 I had a grey that they no longer do but the red and blasck both look stunning.

Hi all, wondered if I could have some help. My mum needs a couple of nice evening tops, not too expensive. She doesn't want to look "mumsy" or "muttony". I've looked at M&S but can't think of anywhere else for her age group - help please!

katsu

Gemmzie - what sort of size is she?

I like the black ones katsu

..........sent a text to OH, remember that he knows there are some tiles already half hanging off....

"do you have any tile adhesive you can bring round before you go out"

He called me "why do you need adhesive?" Me " I would have thought asking for 'tile adhesive' would have been pretty obvious"........arggh.. he's then just talked over me for 5 minutes telling me it isn't worth sticking it back on and I should be saving for a new bathroom (my reply - that really isn't the issue for today, is it) and I should take all the half knackered ones off. I told him that would look even worse (there's blue paint under them and above the tiles is peach - eek!) and the reply is just to take them off which translates as - I'm going to drink beer and no way am I helping out with anything in the next hour.

Sigh..........oh, and

'I have a lift to watch the football so that's good'
me ' good in what way?' (knowing the answer)
'you don't have to give me a lift'
'you haven't asked for a lift'
'yeah, but I kind of presumed'
'yeah, you did.........'

Gemzie - I love the quality and colours of Kettlewell clothes: http://www.kettlewellcolours.co.uk/partywear.html

What about http://www.alexon.co.uk/ranges.php?cat=Blouses

Or something from East http://www.east.co.uk/c/New+tops.htm

BB - I nearly got black but went for grey in the end. They are lovely quality.

katsu

BB - he sounds a dozy soul. I would stick the tiles back on so the wall does not get wet whilst you save for the replacement bathroom stuff. I think I stuck my tiles all up with grout?

Burlesque_Babe

I don't have anything to stick them on with, which is why I asked him. He has every kind of building 'stuff' going because of his work and him building his extension/fitting the bathroom and kitchen himself and when I pressed him he said he does have some grout and some adhesive but 'it wasn't worth doing' ie 'I'm going out and I have no intention of doing it'. I didn't want his help, just the stuff to do it with. I've take the 4 worst tiles off which now looks even bloody worse.
