    We got a version of these from Lidl last year for around £6. Been pretty good so far.

    I am looking for a pair. Anyone have any ideas of where online I could get something similar?

  • Do you know how deeply banksters are involved in government?
    The Remembrancer who sits to the right of the speaker is there to represent the interests of the banks, the Remembrancer is granted direct access to decision makers and legislators in order to lobby for the interests of the City of London (The Square Mile) is the only area of the UK over which parliament has no authority. Instead, it is the Corporation that imposes on Parliament, with the Remembrancer.
    Parliament is owned by the banksters so we are ruled by crooks

  • Just been to the local Supermarket.

    As I came out, I passed a man and a woman using the Cash Machine.

    They had a small dog with them, and the woman told the dog to "Sit Down".

    Then she said to the man "He doesn't like sitting on the floor". :doh:

    I am sooo excited this morning, my neighbour was dismantling his greenhouse and DH just got home from work and saw it, he offered to help him and asked why he was taking it down, they said that they were going to take it to the tip :eek::eek::eek:
    Well DH is as preptastic and frugal as us on here so he said Burrefry wants a greenhouse, so neighbour said then she is welcome to it :A DS is not at college today so the three of them took one of the fence panels out and brought it through the garden and now I can start looking at getting some seeds sown because they have a nice shelter. :j
    :j Oh happy day! A freebie greenhouse is about as good as it gets. Well done!

    It's tipping it down here and some shops are getting their cellars flooded plus everything is squelchy. Nothing compared to those poor souls down in the South West, although we are under an amber warning atm. I have checked out the river in the last hour and it was well below the banks.

    Just had a convo with Mum in which she mentioned that she is moving some money from one account and opening another account at the building society. I tried to suggest to her that things were looking a bit iffy and she might want to keep some of that as cash to hand, but she doesn't believe it'll go wrong or, that if it does, it'll only affect the deposits of much bigger fish than them.

    I'm the only bono fide tin hat wearer in the family. Can't persuade them to have more food by them, either. I am a rubbish proponent of the preptastic way.

    Was in Tosspots this afternoon buying a carrot to combine with other stuff in the casserole I shall be making shortly (I remembered whoopsied stewing beef stashed in the freezer) and thought I'd have a Basics tin of spuds whilst I was at it. All sold out, wah!

    Will be having a pull around of the more deeply-stashed stuff and checking no pesties have set up housekeeping in my housekeeping. As well as going to the allotment to check in the shed on Saturday and hoping that the villians have left it alone this week.

    Anyone know if there are any American public holidays between now and Good Friday? I want to diarise potential trouble spots and manoever accordingly. I'm suspicious that a four day Easter weekend might be being pencilled in for a Cyprussing, and then there's the two May BH to consider.................

    My goodness - I am sincerely hoping that the financial house of cards doesn't wobble too much while I am in the throes of shifting house buying funds around..... Am off to basketmaking class tonight - to casual onlookers it might seem like I am making a wobbly breadbasket, but in my mind I am pondering the myriad of uses I could put such a skill to if pressed.....

    I'd go for May 26, Memorial Day in the USA and what used to be Whit Monday here.
