    UU a bag of flour and a tin of yeast for tonight's tea so February totals 141/100. I do still have about 1 million bags of flour in the store cupboard though :eek: :o. Better find some uses for plain flour to try and even out the stocks.

    Oh, this is a good thread. I REALLY need to join this thread. My flat is a joke - there's only me here but I can rarely find a flat surface.

    Am currently fleabaying: one old mobile phone, one Mr T empty bubble bath holder, a cow-shaped desk hoover, and a broken mini-radio shaped like a 1980s boom box. Do not ask me where the latter three came from. As I sit on my sofa to write this I can see: A wooden hippo; a nodding porcelain sheep; three empty gin bottles gathering dust (kept because they are interesting shapes and sizes!) - actually, make that four; and a two foot stuffed duck that sings Camptown Races when you squeeze its wings.

    I REALLY need this thread.
