If you get bored of Mars ice cream (heaven forbid), I can heartily recommend the new tiramisu flavoured Magnum (other ice creams are available).0 -

There might be, I'm not sure. My Dad was talking about how they could use the coppiced woodland to fuel it, rather than pay the National Debt to the oil company regularly.lostinrates wrote: »DH is a giant for his family. In a Mendelian way our children would likely have been taller still.
I dislike his family gatherings as I feel like a giant, where as at mine I feel normal. With my friends I feel normal to short.
Our nanny, Sam, is 5 ft 4, so she doesn't seem that tall.
She think she is, though, because she's the tallest in her family by a way - her Dad was 4 ft 11.
Whereas I'm a couple of inches taller, and the second shortest out of my entire fmaily, excluding Isaac, who doesn't count yet....much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.0 -

We just don't have the space for a buffer tank for the big wood ones.....plus other things. But same financial benefits apply.
In fact, they'd actually be being paid to heat rather than paying to to a degree.0 -

Would work especially well in a white room.
Funnily enough I almost got a pencil and traced some shadows on our walls the other day. Might still, but this would be less ...clunky.
I like the look of it in a picture, but I think it would be me nightmares in an actual bedroom.chewmylegoff wrote: »I did 2 hours 5 mins on the exercise bike in the gym in between the final cake and dinner but I really don't think it has compensated for the damage completely!!
Happy Birthday!
Next week, you'll want 60% of the lasange not just 55%.......much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.0 -

I know they're installing a bio-furnace to fuel the Aga and heating and hot water, because the oil bills would make a grown man cry, even with my mother in charge of the thermostat.
My parents were complaining that us townies with our mains gas don't know we are born when it comes to paying oil bills...to which I pointed out that they live in sunnier climes over the winter so most of the oil goes on heating the pool....
Double posh alert on their behalf.
Edit: Happy birthday chewie, at 21 (again) you are less than half my age.I think....0 -
There's a face in the shadow.... too creepy for me. When I was young the light outside used to make the curtain patterns look like monster faces and I used to wake up and scream.lostinrates wrote: »Love this idea.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!chewmylegoff wrote: »Happy attention seeking birthday to me.
I celebrated by:
Sausage sandwich for breakfast
Cake at 11
Almost an entire bucket of Waitrose chocolate cornflake bite thingies at about 11.01
Chucking my salad in the bin at 3 and eating more cake
Finishing the cake around 5
Massive fish finger sandwich x2 for dinner about 5 mins ago
Mars ice cream coming up with a cup of tea now
I did 2 hours 5 mins on the exercise bike in the gym in between the final cake and dinner but I really don't think it has compensated for the damage completely!!
Full of win ..... although, volume-wise, that wasn't really a lot. Aren't you hungry now?0 -

Fwiw I'm actually thinking about it for a corridor but I quite like faces and stuff. I have a great nudes picture of me in a room with flicked wall paper and the flicked wall paper looked like Jesus on a lettuce leaf. It always made me smile.0 -
