    I'm definitely liking the idea of brown bread ice cream - not just because all the reviews I've seen give it the thumbs up but also because my dad's ladyfriend will think it's weird :rotfl:

    I've also found recipes for brown bread & guinness ice cream and brown bread ice cream with maple syrup meringues and blueberries. The second one sounds good as it will use up the egg whites leftover from the ice cream :D

    I was lucky with my chooks. They moaned a lot when broody but never went into attack mode :eek:

    Bright yellow is perfect for a spare bedroom - it would look lovely with wedgewood blue and white accessories.

    That sounds lovely Fortune... but too sensible for me :D

    I bought this duvet cover from M&S last year:

    And the coordinating rug along with a bright yellow billy bookcase from Ikea.

    :eek: to Miss B - she's just seeking attention, and I'm certain will be ashamed of her behaviour. Please tell her from me that if she wants to be a F&B range, she will need to start behaving herself ;)

    I love your duvet cover....there's a book I have my eye on (pinched from Attic24 blog).....'Happy Home: Everyday Magic for a Colourful Home' I have a feeling you may like this also?
    February13 - £74990 (or thereabouts)
    MND - Let's go for 2020 'cos it's got a nice ring to it:D

  • Oo I'll put that book on my wishlist Natty - I love colour!!!

    I have this wallpaper in my living room with teal curtains, lampshade, chair & rug and a lime green sofa

    DAMPCA106_frame.jpg

    The kitchen is painted in Crown dragonfly (petrol blue)

    Our bedroom is painted in Dulux Damson Dream 4 (deep plum) with cream, bright pink & teal floral bedding, a plum gloss chest of drawers from Habitat, a dark grey chest of drawers & bedside cabinet from Ikea and a teal stool that I'm using as a bedside table

    The third bedroom/Mr MWC's office is painted white with a Dulux Ruby Fountain 5 (coral pink) feature wall, charcoal grey desk, red accessories, charcoal grey/multi-coloured (incl. coral pink & red) duvet cover and a grey gloss Ikea storage unit

    The bathroom is tiled white with black horizontal stripes, sparkley dark grey floor tiles and orange/maroon/teal & orange towels

    The hall/stairs/landing is painted in Dulux Night Jewels 6 (dove grey) with dark grey wallpaper with bright yellow birds in birdcages on the long wall

    The dining room is quite dull in comparison - black, grey and silver :rotfl:

    Pale grey
    Pale blue
    Cream
    Very pale teal
    eeeemmmmmmm..... can you see a theme here :o, Love bright colours but I couldn't live with them :(.
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort
    :) Mortgage Balance = £0 :)

  • Not even a splash of bright colour, e.g. a cushion, GG? :eek:

    I'm very traditional and Mr F is a former military man so think Officer's Mess crossed with Dumbledore's study and you'll get the idea with our decor :rotfl:
