Car MOT and food bits means spending day today, but I spy another NSD on the horizon......Igor! Get the hunting nets and unleash the Narglehounds......

Funny the things we do to save money.....
OH installed a bidet in our ensuite shower a few years ago, but it hasn't been used much because the water took ages to heat up (and cold water on your unmentionables is not nice). So he took it out yesterday and I, being in MSE mode, suggested we use it as a plant container on the patio. He suggested giving it a weathered look by painting it with yoghurt. I had heard of this being done with terracotta pots, but not with glazed porcelain, so I thought I'd have a go.
So you see, m'Lud, at the time of the murder, I had the perfect alibi...
I was on the patio rubbing yoghurt into my bidet...

Right, what horrible person has nicked my Thanks button? Computers, eh?
marmite when I joined MSE I thought about a user name....I wanted something off the wall but epic as well. In the end something sounding Lord of the Rings-ish ...then the infamous Pan Galactic Gargleblaster popped into my head (Hitch Hikers Guide to the Galaxy) and voila! Nargleblast was born.One life - your life - live it!0 -
