LOL just before the election when Labour's manifesto had the mansion tax proposal, someone said that there would be a sudden run on avocado bathroom suites from people trying to make their homes LESS valuable

What about flock wallpaper?

To quote Mr. Carter (Headmaster of Angel Beach High School)

Avocado :eek:

Grandmamma taught me that you must always purchase white bathroom ware so that it is easier to tell if the "staff" have cleaned properly...........:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

As she never had "staff" and I'm not likely to, I ignored that nugget and had an aqua green wetzone installed .

Oh! pale avocado :eek: :rotfl:

I remember bathroom suites also in brown, beige, navy, pink and maroon. And I also remember being advised to always get a white bathroom suite so you can change your colour scheme just by changing the towels. Very MSE, before MSE was invented!

I used to have a pampas green bathroom suite in my first flat. It was brilliant. You could leave it weeks without cleaning, and it never looked any dirtier.

Good grief!
Just seen a snippet on BBC news website about cuts plans Osbourne wants next in all government departments except those which are protected.

I need to buy a large baby bath.

:eek: jk0! That's just nasty!!!

I've lived with a sort-of sand-coloured suite in a rented flat. Used to have a car that colour, one of British Leyland's colours (sandglow). Vile shade.

Someone I know bought a house just before prices went silly and it was very much unimproved. You've just got to come and see the bathroom! she gushed and we all trooped up there and gave a chorus of delighted/ horrified OMGs!

The suite was bright turquoise surrounded by bright pink tiling. It was so far into bad taste that it had gone clean out the other side and become covetably kitsch. She could've charged admission, it was so fantastically awful. It was going to have to stay like that for the longest time as the house needed serious fixes like a rewire and a functional but icky-coloured suite was going to be at the end of a very long to-do list.

I've taken my poorly paws to the nurse up at the practice and been given something called Flamazine to put on the blistered bits. She'd never seen or heard of parsnip photodermatitis before, so isn't sure if it'll help, but I can go back if it doesn't.

Bliddy stuff. It's indeed the Revenge of the Triffids. When I grow it next, I shall handle it carefully and boil the beggar's roots for soup. Or buy it from the Magic Greengrocer, sans foliage, to be on the safe side.:D

ETA, Doveling, just saw your post about the baby bath. Is it to vomit in, for disgust? Or to drown Georgie Porgie in? I'll volunteer to hold his head under..........

Doveling

No :rotfl::rotfl:
Just realised I haven't got a bath to wash large items in if I need to at any point. I can also use it to bath the dog in

Multi-use item, very MSE!

Hope your hands aren't too painful

We found that if the dog likes water a bucket will do. They will stick their front paws in and splash about, thereby cleaning themselves.

I found the cuts link. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-33610801

40% from departments. They are talking about reinventing the provision of services. I think the public will be reinventing the odds of them ever voting Tory again.
