Nice people thread part 6 - thrice by twice as nice :)

I have what might be a linen top .... and the minute you put it on it permanently creases. I've never understood why people wear linen because it just creases instantly and permanently. By the time you arrive anywhere you look like you've just been unravelled from the depths of a bag lady's trolley.

The top I have comes to about "crease of leg/torso" length ... so I put it on, I get in the car to go out somewhere... get out of the car and the front's creased and remains permanently flipped up like a shelf... and I look crumpled.

You can't walk into a charity shop and get what you want.... firstly, the best charity shops are near/in big cities and posh areas. Then - charity shops are only good if you're going in every day or so - and over the course of 1-2 years you'd stumble across something 'perfect'.

Round here, charity shops are only stocked with teens' battered New Look skimpy outfits and the wardrobe contents of dead people.

If you go to one town where there are decent charity shops and walk in enough you. An find something that will work, even if you need to stitch a bit. So long as you do not mind not being fashion first.

Catpet? By heck, thats posh, we had no carpet!

It was a piece of dark green, ex-living room offcut. It only needed a strip 2'x4' and another piece stuck down by the door of 3'x1.5'. And it smelt of wee after 10+ years.

I've never used a juicer, or other kitchen equipment... but can't you just stick it in another kitchen item... e.g. a food processor if you have one? Or use a stick blender if you have one?

For me it has to be a juicer. You can process and sieve but....i do not have a processor, and thats too much effort.

There's something that horse has got which no other has ever had. I doubt we'll ever see a horse run as fast, ever. 10 lengths, and nearly beat the course record on soft ground.

You've been chatty today!

Out of 50 I score very high, embarrassingly high! Not a full 50 because we don't possess a lawn mower, plus one or two others.

I've just popped in/out between tasks.... and right now I am waiting for my belongings to come down to the ground because when I went to the storage to add some more..... the whole thing was about 30' in the air on a crane...... being moved.
