Sorry again NP, my mailbox is full of filth which I will have to take the time to digest properly before deleting it and making space so I can reply....

WE moved round some furniture today and got to the door and couldn't fit the piano through so some idiot decided to take it off its stand and undid all 4 screws at which point it crashed to the floor as it was not designed to balance on the stand not screwed on (as I now know) - piano is probably a goner and a big hole in the laminate - luckily at least the laminate is scheduled for replacement....

Its not that filthy that it needs digesting. Have to tel, you in real life if i offer filth and get a 'i'll think about it' the offer is withdrawn.:rotfl::rotfl:

Take all the time you need michaels

Re pianos.....ouch. My childhood piano is probably coming to live with us. I cannot bear not to have it if no one else in the family wants it but really.....its richarding, i should not have it. Its no good for playing with others unless i have it restrung, which is more than its worth.

Fwiw, pianos come up quite cheaply regularly if you can get someone to move them.

I can't catch up anymore. What's been happening please? Each time I come and haven't been for ages I worry that something awful has happened and then I'll pop up and embarrass myself talking about Lurpak.

Just had myself a rare couple of hours peace by crying off the family Father's Day meal.

Not much. Though i did say recently i missed you, i have been having a tile saga, and what ever you might have heard about my tiles, i cannot use them according to a tiling forum. Chewy is not married yet, pn is still waiting on exchange. I am still cold! silvercar is i think feeling better, lemonjelly popped in and sounded happy but still seems not quite himself, fc cannot keep up either, and most nice peoe seem to drive diesels. Lydiaj has been dating successfully, and some one in herts piddles in bags and leaves them ion the library then goes home to a rented home and wees and poops on the cream carpeted floor:eek: I wish i could widdle in a bag, but i cannot. Or at least, i doubt i can, i have never tried. Wheezy's westy dog has a long muzzle for a westy, but is all the cuter for it, and misskool is workilng hard at the gym while we all seem to think fifty quid for a handbag is not too much.

Hope that helps!

That list'll create me loads of meals!

Naan + chilli + cheese + herbs = pizza
Potatoes + cheese + beans
Potatoes + cheese + squirt of the salad cream
Cheese + squirt of the salad cream if/when I buy bread or rolls
Mushy peas + packet of noodles - a very odd combination, but I had that last week to "use stuff up".

One loaf of bread and a few eggs and I can stretch what I've got until I leave ... probably.

You'll be on Masterchef next!

My brother got his from Tring Auctions, which would certainly be an option for someone in Herts, though it is an upright, not a baby grand.

I saw those through the week but i would need four of those tins for one batch of brownies.....which is a lot of butter. I use a roasting tin for brownies atm, but the little ones might give more edge for peoe who like them less gooey. Personally, i think a less gooey brownie is an opportunity lost.

I wonder why I need to make brownies for my family, lostinrates?!

Lovely, ta!

I hope it's not viva that pees in bags at the library? Being the nice people, each to their own and that but I didn't think she was that kind of girl!

What's the matter with the tiles? I'm sure we can find a just as good an alternative or mix them into a more suitable area with a more suitable tile, iyswim.

One thing I do know... aspies can't work in kitchens.

The environment is not suitable and would lead to a full meltdown withinn the first hour. If one is successful in a kitchen, they're either more OCD than aspie, and/or completely deaf, and/or the boss.... or they just stick to doing one task their own way in a corner.

A good question, but my frst one would have been "You eat margarine?"

We're currently getting fat because Asda had a deal on Lurpak where you get two full packs and a brownie baking tray for £3. We have a lot of Lurpak now!

I need both margarine and butter. I am a bit funny about it all really.

I put butter on toast, but the toast must be cold and the butter must have come out of the fridge, I don't like it at room temperature. If I must have it on hot toast, I cut the toast up into small squares and put butter on them immediately before eating, so the butter doesn't melt before I eat it. So basically I'm a bit weird.

I put clover on everything else, and I can't stand butter on sandwiches.

The m word does not come in this house. I rarely need butter for things like bread, but if i do there is some in a butter dish.

I am thrilled to learn you are a toast fanatic. After years and years, since school put me off toast, i rediscovered cold toast and butter (real butter) over winter and love it. Chewy goodness. Oh, yuck, inappropriate responce consideriong i am typing to you about this. :eek:
