    Please stay safe in the sun and learn the A-E of melanoma: A = asymmetry, B = irregular borders, C= different colours, D= diameter, larger than 6mm, E = evolving, is your mole changing? Most moles are not cancerous, any doubts, please check next time you visit your GP.

    I am talking of the covers only ... not the cushions. Just the covers won't fit. I've tried in the past.... machine's too small. It's no good washing, say, two cushion covers - you have to wash the whole sofa covers set at the same time or it'd not match. It's the sofa cover that won't fit.

    For the amount of times you need to wash sofa covers, you can take them to a launderette for a service wash. You don't need to sit and watch them swirl, a lot of launderettes have a service wash facility. No point changing your washing machine to suit the covers or worse buying covers that fit your machine.

    I like the colour of both these last two. Works well with white, and feels beachy.

    I've never reached the dizzy heights of middle England, which is why I feel uncomfortable in there.... expensive, over-fussy, stuff at high prices. And shiny people, with shiny lives, shiny hair and good clothes.

    :)

    Like waitrose, JL do the best value 'whoopsies'. :)

    Fir pays even less at posh food halls though. Weird but true. :D

    He's almost finished his massive fortnums Stilton cheese purchase. He's already getting excited for the next one. I cannot bear the idea. Its at least two years I've been serving up that cheese. Maybe three.
    Maybe he'll take a year off.

    Having got through to the plums we need to use them. I found a recipe on bbc website for a tart with limoncello.

    Sounds quick enough.

    You also need to be visitorless.... my two, to date, have managed to spill coffee (sofa arm) and coke (all down their white top).

    :)

    I've had a third visitor, who was mostly confined to outdoors as they had a dog .... who promptly pee'd up my shed :)


    I want a sofa visitors can sit on .... without me leaping out in panic every time they breathe in/out.

    I feel better now :)

    Just back in from the garden - 1.6 wheelie bins filled up. I kept telling myself that clearly I'm not afraid of a bit of hard graft. Just need to apply it to other things....

    Unclear advert .... but this would have its merits for the price if it's all you can see. (e.g. sofa and the extending bit)

    It's cord, that I don't like .... but it does look a bit cuddly/comfy.

    Also, it'd need to "come apart" so I could have the sofa bit where the sofa's to go ... and that extra bit in the far corner or somewhere .....
