    Took both DKs somewhere today where they washed their hands in a basin with a glass tap a bit like this, but without the shower attachment. Now they are both asking if we can have taps like that at home.

    Do you know anyone who's bereaved? Point them to https://www.AtaLoss.org which does for bereavement support what MSE does for financial services, providing links to support organisations relevant to the circumstances of the loss & the local area. (Link permitted by forum team)

    Oh, and wear your seatbelt. My kids are only alive because they were wearing theirs when somebody else was driving in wet weather with worn tyres.

    Hmm - you have obviously been less successful than me in not looking to have noticed those nuances :)

    Honestly your honour, I was just carrying out research for a book I am writing about female fashion trends...

    I'm with your DKs, I think they're great.

    I don't like the idea of glass taps for some reason. I keep getting images of people slipping in the bath and landing on them.

    Could you give the impression of being very discrete? So the male feels safe in trying it on?

    Sod's law - after months of nothing suitable coming on the market in the area we're looking in our price range a detached 4 bed has just come on the market bang in the middle of it, as a price we can afford. Only problem is that we are now tied in to another 6 month tenancy. @rse.

    My advice for anyone looking for the perfect man is to hang around smollensky's in canary wharf around 4.30-5.30pm on a Friday. Oh yes. However, don't clog the bar up by ordering cocktails. Thanks.

    Yay, I got one of those for downstairs sink but in all chrome. Prefer the glas but didn't see any like that when I was shopping. Apparently they are dreadful for limescaling up so I may have to put a sticky note above it saying 'For Best Only, please use shower to wash hands.


    BTW, can I just say a modest thanks for the FC Fabulous comments last night:). Not digging for any more compliments but really cheered me up after a hard day.

    Today was A Very Good Day. Had a chain buyer in and was a good result.
    Funny thing was the Bangladesh news is on peoples minds and we were discussing price (well, I ask a price then they try to push me down) and she then didn't push it.:)

    Talk nicely to your landlord. Or go for it, you may find the seller isn't ready to move that quickly and will be happy for a delayed completion.
