You're surprised?:D

I've never been anywhere posh - and I won't go.... on the basis you have to wear special clothes, that I wouldn't have, I'd not want to spend days/weeks sourcing them at great expense, in the knowledge I won't be going anywhere posh again so won't be wearing them again. It's easier to say "No".

Charity shops?

Having a really frustrating day.

Cannot sort out my fanancial issue because it depends on others. This is annoying in the extreme and beyond my control.

So, decided to take out my frustration on the juicer, as its summer, and take the juicer out of the cupboard for the first time this year, so for a good year at least..since the hot spell last spring i guess. Nip out, buy a ridiculous amount of fruit and veg to torture, plug the juicer in and......nothing.

Furious. Cannot make it work despite lots of shaking it and swearing.

I have already chopped up a cucumber to put through it.

Not sure what to do, whether to go and nuy another juicer? Hit this one some more?

What period is your house. In hamstead i paired white tiles, slate floor with eau de nile walls in the bathroom, It looked beautiful in the edwardian house.

Well, I'm not ripping up the floor - that stays as white tiles. Eau de nile is green? Don't like green.

I think it needs to be quite light paint because of the small window.

It leads off the hall, which will probably be parquet floor with white walls.

EDIT: The house was completed around 1946, having been started around 1938.

Eau de nil is green, or where green blue and grey meet in the middle really.

I agree with doozer, light is not that important in a downstairs loo. I am consideing painting ours very dark grey or drab. When we get one.

I've been naughty. Our Kenwood Chef packed up just two weeks out of warranty. I tried to beat it up and have now given up after the second lot of soup that exploded all over me. I bought another one from the same shop and have put the old one in the box. I'm going to leave it a couple of months and then return it. I don't have the time to be without it whilst arguing over whether it's fit for purpose or not.

We don't have one as H refused me one. We have friends who have their degree certificates framed in the downstairs loo. I still have very short distance swimming certificates and a 3rd place certificate from Brownie Sports Day and am desperate to display them, which is the main reason I really want a downstairs loo. I won't display the kids stuff there, just mine

That's bad luck. We have had our chef since 1980, and it's still going strong, despite falling off the worktop.

Haha. I think i want nothin in the walls on mine. I have seen the most amazing sink, but think a grand is a lot for a sink. But it is amazing. I just feel its a good place to meditate without other stuff going on. At uni and school i used to do homework or revise in the loo or bathroom as people tend to leave you alone while you are in there. By the time we got to our flat share though we all knew each other too well and people would wander in to use the bathroom while you were ipn the bath. It was like all the bad bits of polygamous marriage.


I hit the juicer, said something truely vile to it, and now have cucumber, apple, kiwi and parsely juice and a smug smile.
