    No, but reading that made me really want a mint aero, which I'm now about to demolish. Up until reading that I was about to have a glass of tomato juice. I'm now in a quandry, as tomato juice and mint aeros don't go together well and the choc is winning.

    I don't eat a lot of chocolate, but I do like a good mint aero. If you were to have both, I'd guess tomato juice would be best first rather than second? Hope you manage to solve your dilemma!

    From your description, it doesn't sound like I'll get many decor ideas (apart from confirming what I don't like). But might get some tips as to how to find a bloke ;)
    Though a couple of friends have already suggested that I should get a lodger (or two) for that very purpose. I thanked them for their confidence in my ability to find a partner without needing to ensnare them in my house :eek:

    When I was a student a bf told me that his first 'experiences' were encounters with his landlady when he had worked in Germany for year pre studies.

    Another pair of flat mates moved in with us at short notice when their landlord had arrived home to find one of them having a good time with the landlady, his wife. He gave them 20 minutes to get out...seemed very generous in the circumstances.

    Anyone else watching the news? A bit worried about what is being announced. UKiP looks to have won in the UK and Front National in France. People's Party in Denmark - not as right wing but anti EU federalists. Hungary has gone right wing and anti EU.

    In Greece, 1/4 of the vote has gone to anti-establishment anti EU left. Similar issue in Italy.

    Big groupings moving away from the centrist mainstream.

    I am currently enjoying my spicy tomato juice. My aero is winking at me from the arm of the sofa, relishing the fact that its demolition has been delayed until the taste of TJ has subsided.

    Hmmmm... Perhaps I've been a little hasty in deciding not to use my rent-a-room allowance?

    Yes you should rethink. Lodgers with benefits.

    Won't even pretend I've got the foggiest what that is all about..... put me down for a no.

    I'm watching the Hoarder Next Door.... I can follow that and understand the storyline.

    That reminds me of a recipe for a BLT I saw recently:

    Bacon
    Little bit more bacon
    Top it off with bacon

    BLT!
