    The Birmingham one is nice. It's huge and a little repetitive; the number of people intimidates me, but it smells wonderful!

    I think they're all quite similar - the South Bank seems very much the same, just more modest.

    There's more pressure then..... the more that are coming, the more pressure is on you that it's a good market and not a damp squib :)

    I agree with the others. The market is just a venue for meeting the people.
    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)
    Tyre performance in the wet deteriorates rapidly below about 3mm tread - change yours when they get dangerous, not just when they are nearly illegal (1.6mm).
    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.     :)

    Spirit and Pastures New, salisbury Christmas market was in the telegraphs top ten Christmas markets last year. I have never been to the Salisbury Christmas market, and pastures might enjoy walking around seeing what idiot posh alert purchases people make.......?


    Funny this should come up as we have been looking at this LED splashback stuff.....just out of curiosity at first.....but if it's not silly money we quite fancy having 8 diff colours controlled by remote.

    They are in Somerset but near Weston S M.

    I am going to phone tomo to get benchmark prices so we don't drive there and find they are waaaaay out of budget.

    So, I looked on the map and recalled roughly where Lir lives (but I didn't save the address ) and wondered if an en route stop for a wee and tea may work....so I then trawled the old emails to find the address (which I didn't but found nearby train stn) and it could work. Not sure we cold add in Salisbury market too but it would be like driving a big circle.

    The biggest issue is tacky or not tacky. I do know that everything is destined to be the avocado suite of the future but the splashback behind the cooker and sink will be the only areas of colour and we could rotate them depending on mood/season.

    OH has departed for Edinburgh, Sam's departing on Wednesday morning for Istanbul, and Isaac decided, this evening, to be like a bee in a bottle. I love him dearly, and most of the time he's great, but he was being a right little sod this evening - "what does it look like when you are being sick, Mummy? Can I watch?" and throwing balls in the living room (he knows that's on the Banned List) and sword fighting a bookcase, and generally being a right pain in the neck!

    Still, I've had a nice chat to my mother, who reminds me that all children sometimes make you want to tear your hair out and take to the bottle, including 35 year old ones (-:

    My mother's promised to come and stay for a couple of days if I feel overwhelmed - too much happening in the next few days, and I'm even sicker. It's not just the feeling nausea and vomiting several times a day, it's leaving me feeling really drained and tired and tearful, because I'm so short of various vitamins and nutriton, I suppose.

    I didn't want to tell OH any of it really, because he's got to be in Edinburgh the rest of the week, so there's no point him being worried and guilty when he can't do anything anyway.

    But knowing my darling Mama is quite happy to come makes me feel a bit less like I'lll need her to, if that makes sense.

    Ho hum - Afghan night now, and Harmondsworth Detention Centre tomorrow.
