I have decided to go for porcelain floor tiles throughout except in the en-suite where it will be marble - does anyone know anything about sealing stone floors?
I do!
We've had slate laid in our downstairs hallway and bathrooms.
It needs painting with special stuff after the grout's dried (a week or so), and then painting with it again after 6 and 12 months. Then you can leave it for about 10 years before it needs another coat....much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.0 -

we did this in our bathroom in London too. It was easypeasy.
I've also helped reseal old stone floors before.0 -

Yay! Nice one....much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.0 -

oh, a fish supper...yum. I keep craving fish 'n' chips recently. DH has been raving about the shellfish this week so I guess I'll be eating a lot of it when I visit. I can't wait now, I want to race out there. I like new cities.

I could toast you with the only home grown thing I have at the moment - some cress that OH was given on some trendy management thing - watch the cress grow and think how your business can grow.lemonjelly wrote: »Good lord! That is one of the crassiest things I have ever heard!!!!
As long as your business doesn't die like my kids' cress!Do you know anyone who's bereaved? Point them to https://www.AtaLoss.org which does for bereavement support what MSE does for financial services, providing links to support organisations relevant to the circumstances of the loss & the local area.

Tyre performance in the wet deteriorates rapidly below about 3mm tread - change yours when they get dangerous, not just when they are nearly illegal (1.6mm).
Oh, and wear your seatbelt. My kids are only alive because they were wearing theirs when somebody else was driving in wet weather with worn tyres.0 -

The caption I originally put with this was far too rude.
So, I'm settling for "You call it growing a business, but I call it capitalists getting rich on the backs of the proletariat!"

I had crabsticks for tea.... bought them for the old who loves them and so now I have to scoff everything that's in the house so it's not wasted.
Crabsticks used to be a lot nicer than they are now - and there are 1-2 nice brands (I can't remember which), but you do need to eat a lot of "so so" ones to track down the good ones.
Years ago, when I first discovered crab cocktail (crabsticks in sauce) there was a truly phenomenal one, which I have never managed to find/buy ever since. I know it was called something like Cromwell Foods and was made in Huntingdon - but it was pre-Internet and so quite a lot of work to go to to see if they sell retail. The supply I saw was a catering pack in a village shop on my route to work in 1997. I should google them now, as the Internet exists 0 -
That made me wonder - was 1997 pre internet? and I realised I can't remember when the internet started and can't imagine life without it. I do remember that when I was a student and even when I started work I didn't have a mobile and then a short while later my GF of the time and I only felt we needed one between us.
Just had a look and I can find emails back to 2002 - I will check at work tomorrow to see when they start. I know I had an older email account but it disappeared when I changed isp.I think....0
