    Faces I now find much harder.

    Faces I find almost impossible... when I approached you in Ikea I knew there was a strong possibility it wasn't you, even though you'd just sent a text to say you'd "camped out in the sofa dept"....

    Just starting on BBC2 - Sweets Made Simple.

    Making Walnut Whip ... and Jalapeno Chillies wrapped in chocolate (and some other stuff but the telly signal's too choppy to follow every word).

    Home made Italian bread, with an olive oil and Balsamic vinegar dip, is a lovely way to start a meal.

    I've been Money Tipped!
    Plum update.

    DH has managed to cut a path through to them all. The Victoria and the unknown blue one we'd reached before were straight forward. Never before uncovered maroony laden thing took longer, and just a narrow path, but its not yet ripe, or maybe its something that doesn't quite ripen like a damson or a bullace? Not very good with these stone fruits.

    Anyway I'll ask on my green fingered thread.

    Just cut one open - you'll be able to tell from how the knife goes through .... and as it's then cut you might as well try a bit :)

    I didn't know there was such a thing until I read 50 shades of grey!

    I very much doubt that, even in 50SOG, anybody would try shoving that thing up their butt. It would be really embarrassing turning up at A&E to have it removed.

    From the stories I've heard (used to work with gastroenterologists), you'd be surprised what ends up 'up there'. Or that people end up falling onto.

    At least it comes with grab rails!

    Suddenly, I am less enamoured with the idea of an expensive juicer.

    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.

    Do you want a sofa that guests can sleep on? That would need to be a 3 seater, really. Would that be too big for the room? Around 2m long.
