I'm so glad you did. I think they just look gorgeous. I really want them.

I want to make them too... one day when I have a big freezer all of my own...

I make really, really nice vodka jelly. It always gets an 'ooh' and and 'aaah' because it looks quite impressive.

I usually make it around Christmas /new year because its nice and clean when everything else is heavy but its impressive enough to hold its own.

But those are a very, very cute summer thing, every bit as tempting in a much cuter way.

You don't need a freezer to make them. It's only jelly .... maybe the alcohol needs a freezer, but jelly wouldn't.

Nice to look at and dream about, but, realistically: where/how are you going to get that many lemons from....... to have enough for all the jelly ...... and then who'd eat them .... except YOU. So ... I'd like to make them... never will.

I'm trying to comply with a beurocratic requirement. My office for the business is meant to have only one door into it. This can be from the house ( ie could be a spare room if we had one) or from outside.

Not a single room in this house except our bedroom, the bathroom and the down stairs loo comply.

I'm clutching at straws and I'm looking at the under stairs cupboard.

I'd struggle with that too ..... can anything else be in the 'office'? What has to be in it to qualify?

A radiator and a phone line ( both will be worth my while to put in to somewhere like the under stairs cupboard).


The obvious place is the dairy house, but it would not be financially worth laying pipe work to there for this end ATM.

Tip for LIR to try .... woman on Come Dine with Me has some bubbles that shes's blowing and her dog's going mental leaping up in the air to try to catch them.... maybe your doglets would like that. Easy entertainment.

I remember bubbles when I was a kid. You had one pot of bubbles/year and then you topped it up with washing up liquid. Loved making bubbles.

Is a radiator a legal requirement???

No, it's a requirement for the thing I need to tick a box for. It never needs to be turned on even, but does have to be installed. We have an old rad. It's just the cost of the plumber and the surface mounted paperwork till we get to that part of the house.
