I somehow found this whilst looking for evidence of wild wombats in the UK although I think Generali may have been pulling my leg!

I was hoping you wouldn't ask
I had to eat the pittas before they went out of date, but haven't got any oil. I did consider mixing it with mayo to try it ....

I do intend to try it, but "properly" ....

I've never "eaten oil" and never bought olive oil .... so it's a bit of a leap, for me, to go and find/choose the right oil, then look at it and think "that's chip fat that is ... and you eat it, apparently"..

Any extra virgin olive oil will do. Next time I'll give you some, but will be in an un marked bottle.

Therefore needs to be on a day when you've not had to make a wee sample

If it's "any extra virgin oil", then I can follow that instruction ..... "any" in my head, then look at the labels for "extra virgin oil".

There's actually going to be a shortage in the coming years...... stock up!

I've never squeezed any citrus ..... blimey, I'd be down Poundland looking for an orange squeezer/thingy.

£49 ...? And it looks like a butt plug

We have one of those, it was a gift.

'Which one of those?' you're now wondering

I did sit on some Ikea sofas when I was there... not many. It was all a bit confusing/overwhelming. On the whole, I didn't like the look of them. They weren't well laid out - really need a book ready marked up and then hunt for specific ones I think .... prices seemed a bit high .... whiteish ones looked "already shabby/dirty" and I don't want a dark (brown/black) one. Lots of "faux" - or "plastic" as I call it, which doesn't enthral me.

I need to go back and kip on them all ..... take a cushion with me. Try out my usual position on them.

Philippe Starck is a French designer of some really lovely furniture and artefacts. I bought one of his juicers as a wedding present for some guys I know and desperately want one for myself, but cannot justify the price:

Or you could save a tenner (delivery price similar) here...

If lir's wee is as thick as extra virgin olive oil, then she really does need to get to hospital and quick! Though I can see why you wouldn't want to find out Pastures.

Recently we discussed recall, and in showed I could remember what people were wearing and certain things. I'd struggle now. Faces I now find much harder. I am frequently worried I'll walk by DH if we meet in a public place it doesn't happen any more, but I still have the fear it might.

400 yards up the road there's a place that has random items for sale (garden stuff, cleaning materials, nails/screws, some car-related stuff) ... all "bankrupt stock" type of things..... there's a tiny corner where they sell stuff extra cheap. I picked up an outdoor thermometer from there yesterday (one's always been on my list, for years) ... £1.95.

Just looked them up online and they're RRP £10, can be had for £5, so I definitely got a good price.

Same place, last year, I picked up an egg cup for 25p that sells RRP for about £8.

These items are few/far between - and random ... but nice to find.
