We might replace the 46 lcd in the kitchen with a 60 inch and then cascade through the house, so the 46 inch can replace the 40 inch in our room, which can go into the girls room and so on.....we are happy to stick with the opium for the masses as we can't afford the real thing a la Nigellas of this world.

I'm completely against TVs in bedrooms - both my own, and other people's. So Isaac will grow to adulthood without. Sadly, for him, I suppose. But that's his tough luck (-:

I LOVE carols and love some Christmas songs. Dh however beats me on both.

Never did any one love Christmas so much as my husband. Its a strange phenomenon, the non Christian who adores Christmas, and the very religious parts of it too, but there it is. He loves all of it....church, and the non religious bits. Today he spend half an hour tieing bells to every door handle it he down stairs of the house, so that you open a door and it sounds like ' rein deer'.


(Shhh....sounds like migraines to me )


We've had a great day. . I said If I didn't start doing exercise soon I was going to explode so the o,an is we will do something every day DH is home so that if I have trouble I will not be alone. We started gently this morning with Pilates, but it was enough. We planted two trees. ( one of the two quinces we ordered was out of stock this season, but the meeches prolific wasn't so that and the Harry baker crab apple are in).

Just found this photo of FIR, you weren't kidding about all things Christmas:

We're alone this week michaels. Less dressed but freezing.


And why on earth I thought yesterday morning ' I know, I'll hand wash the quilt' in a house with no ruddy central heating. What a fool! We had to get out loads of spare bedding instead. Dehumdifier has been going all yesterday and today inthe bathroom with our quilt now.....still wet!

Do you have access to a polytunnel, lir. They're good for winter drying.

Nope, still no poly tunnel nor green house.


It'll dry.

I was trying to save the laundering fees (its a bout forty or fifty quid nowadays to get a double/king quilt laundered round here!) but I don't think I have. It dodn't fit in the washing machine or I would have done that. .

I think its just I'm feeling better and so keen to do stuff :rotfl:

Lie, can you dry over banisters? In my house that's the only place I can get to dry as lots of free space to hang. Rather amusingly, spell check changed banisters to barristers.

ETA.... Noo, not lie either. Why can't I type what I want?

Ruddy hell......its not a posh dry cleaners, but it is a dry cleaners.

It takes a week minimum too. :mad:

Maybe I should have a shop around.

The think about the cleaners I use is that I can park nearly outside, which has hither too been important. But .......I could manage a bit of a walk with a duvet ATM. .
