We watched some one of that. It was incredibly bad, and I agree not quite bad enough to be good.

After seeing AI, I had dreams based on the film :eek:

Dh said we liked ai, i cannot remeber it. He watch mstepmiaa ladt night and chuckled away while i got more and more horrified at its awful ness. Can be topped in frightfulness by similar film with gina davis and jeff goldblum

Somehow there is something comforting about the thought of several NP all in bed watching the same z-movie and cringing...

ETA: I also had vivid dreams about AI so there must be something thought provoking in it

I'm with PN on the ageing thing - what is the point of living a long time without your health and or faculties?

Could you just buy a soda stream and use tap water?

I'll second that! On another thread I was discussing sharing a house with a bunch of lads who drank a lot of my home-made wine ( I use to make it 5-gallon drums). I couldn't figure how they drank it so fast because it was pretty humdrum stuff (keeping the language polite).

However my soda stream kept on losing charge. I realised they were making my unbearable wine bearable by carbonating it.:beer:
Coming from where I'm from I'm amazed by the bottled water phenomenon. The water was the softest in the world (around 2ppm impurities). Drinkable straight from the tap.

In London, for the water quality the least said the better.:(:eek::eek:

I know what you mean.... you can hear of 'answers', but doing it's not realistic as you might try it once and hate it.... you need a taster first Maybe you could email people at work, or put a note on a noticeboard asking if anybody's got one in the back of their cupboard they could lend you ..... chances are, too, that, if they have... they'd be glad to be shot of it forever!

Sheets...have you got a big TK Maxx near you? I have bought some really luxe bedlinen from them at a fraction of the RRP.

We (or rather I) decided that I had had enough of £5 duvets from Asda and bought a down quilt (the baby feathers) for £200 from there (original price was something insane as TK Maxx is 70% off) and it is gorgeous, like the ones in Hotel du Vin.......then I read an article that the feathers are pulled from the battery geese used for Fois Gras and I felt really bad and cruel.


Damien Hirst today was good...last time I saw his work was at Sensations and took son who was only 6 at the time.

I am going to do a huge spot painting for us as I have always loved them.

*confession* I was also very un MSE and bought a 'Pill' scarf. 1m sq of silk and it just looks like pretty dots of colours but close up it is all sorts of little coloured evil pills. I absolutely love it it...it is such a special thing.

I bought one of those duvets and spent a fortune only to discover I'm allergic to it and can only have the horrible polyester ones:mad:.

On a more fun note, My brother did a spot painting, he bought one of the canvases from an art superstore quite cheap and then used placed the free CDs/DVDs from magazines on it to get a sense of how many spots he wanted. Once happy, he drew round the CDs with a pencil and then coloured in with paint in shades to match his living room. It looked really good.

I love silk scarves and have loads, but haven't worn one in ages.

We have goose and duck down ones (probably only rrp 250 quid from department store reduced to £50) but I prefer using polyester as it is not too hot at 4.5 tog and it can be washed/replaced whenever I want whereas the expensive ones can not be effectively cleaned in my mind.

i'm not sure what our duvet is made of. we never use it, the flat is too warm for that. even in the winter we only have a sheet. i think the sheet is egyptian cotton.

what can a super deluxe toaster do? surely toast is toast? does it also make cups of tea? if not, i don't think i will be in the market.
