Having just looked at NPT5 (I know, so last hour):
All our new bathroom plumbing is tiled in to the walls with no access panels, I'm slightly nervous...

We have two sinks built in to units in the family bathroom but it is still not enough storage for all the lotions and potions and the toilet rolls (bought in bulk when on special). In the ensuite we went for a low profile illuminated mirror door cabinet but I don't really like it.

Sunday we are visiting my sister who lives near the Witterings...just when it looks like beach weather will be over Still as long as it avoids the jubilee stuff when otherwise I would have to explain to the kids why I would be singing the sex pistols versions of god save the queen whilst making a black power salute. Royalty is fine for the tourists but I am a citizen not some inbred German's subject.

Loo rolls can be bulk stored elsewhere, so long as there is room for a big pack at a time imo.

Atm our mission is de richarding (as in not hoarding) so hoping to have fewer extra potions. I used to be a memeber of the no new toiletries thread on health and beauty board, and now while i still love products, i am focused on not buyig too much. Dh is actually worse than me. But nevertheless, we both have an awful lot of stuff. I have a lot of old makeup i am steeling myself to bish atm.

Just saw a knackerman shoot 3 Jersey new born calves in the head because there's no value in male Jersey cows.... as they don't make milk. Then they loaded them into a lorry to be turned into tallow, to fuel a Belgian power station.

Yep. Its a good life for the few who are kept to serve, but for the others......

Its part of why i am an ethical meat eater. I could be an ethical vegan, but for me the impact of milk and egg industries mean more joined up models of food produce are the best option. E.g. My neighbours put their cows to a meat breed bull to produce not top quality but salable meat calves and back to their milk breed for stock replacement, this means less 'wastage'. Imo the ideal model is to eat primarily the meat produced as a by product of dairy and egg production.....but people don't like this, its means of course far less meat for one, and more seasonal meat for the other, and ofcpurse, something we are very good at is breeding excellent dingle purpose animals. No one raves about aberdeen angus milk or jersey meat....same with chickens......though there are great dual purpose breeds too.

Well, unless you had called it the mean witches' thread.

I'd love to say I've never been called a witch before but I think that would be a lie!

Ive never really given this any proper thought. Why dont we just eat the males of dairy herds. I bet it doesn't taste any different. I doubt i could tell the difference between meat from two different breeds especially if my mum had cooked/burned it to cinders.
