    Oh dear... I was staying quiet



    ... then you brought it up ...


    ... oh well. Live and learn - you won't use that word again.

    :)

    I refuse to totally give up words an sayings on their appropriation. As anything can take new implications contextually we'd be left grunting non suggestively at each other.

    That would be hard to type.

    Having the same kinda problem. Went out today to do inspiration shopping (try & get design ideas, themes etc). One thing I know I need is bedside cabinets. Not seen any IRL or online that are acceptable. Went into dreams & saw a superb bed with no need for cabinets. But the mother isn't on their website as I wanted a further look, and that has made me:mad:


    I went to IKEA last week to look for one particular thing. Found it in a better colour than the ones on the website.

    It's this:
    http://www.ikea.com/gb/en/catalog/products/80071319/#/80071357
    I'll have my records stored in it, interspersed with other ornamental type stuff/lights etc. :) I wanted to measure it first, & the gaps are the perfect size for vinyl!:cool:


    I need some frames. Found another store with big frames where they're cheaper than ikea.

    I'm going to need some larger frames too though. Bit worried they might need specially making or something...:eek:

    I have a lot of Expedit in my house. I have the one you've linked to, in white with a 4x2 stacked on top. I think it looks great as it fits perfectly one side of the chimney breast and nearly up to the ceiling. It makes a real statement and looks a bit more built in. Buy loads and stack them!

    All finally over with the Bulgarian girl :( It's been on the cards for a while now, so I didn't think I'd be this gutted. I really thought it might be going somewhere. Quite a long time since I've cried over a girl.

    Might vote UKIP just to spite her.

    You poor thing.

    If you haven't had a cry over a girl for a long time then while you are purging your system of her remember its a good thing that you can still feel so much and that the experiences, positive ad negative, make you a better partner for the future.

    You seem a great person, I don't think the nice people are worried about your romantic future :) You are at an exciting time of life, but scary, as what comes next is still such a mystery, but what ever direction you go in you are free to make the most of whatever opportunities you find. I'm sure there will be many. :)

    Hope the tears dry, but not too quick, because it shows it was worth it. :). We're here.

    Here's a link to one of the posters - ebay auction ends in 4 days!:
    http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Lemon-Jelly-Lost-Horizons-Poster-Signed-by-Fred-Deakin-Nick-Franglen-Airside-/141275466266?pt=UK_art_prints_GL&hash=item20e4ac8a1a

    Description says 66cmx125 cm.
    I have 1 poster that is a lot bigger!

    Ah! And it all falls neatly into place...

    I don't think my avatar would look that great in a frame.

    They are, apparently, discontinuing the entire expedit range. So NPs wanting them should get a move on.

    What?! They're so useful, and cheap!

    IKEA in some countries allows you to order online, they deliver and they can even put together flat packs. Not sure if it has reached the UK yet.

    Large frames, try 'dunelm mill' or 'the range'.
    I'm going there today to pick one up.

    Found a range store yesterday. Frames are cheaper than IKEA.

    Cheers for the dunelm suggestion. Will scribble it on my ever growing list.
