    PN is welcome to give Lakeland a posh alert, its the sort of shop you wonder round without actually buying anything. I always think it is full of overpriced cooking stuff people have managed without for centuries.

    The really cool places I love looking are old fashioned hardware shops with baking sections. We have TWO near here that I know of. Shops that sell everything from nails and compost through to mugs and glassware to edible glitter for cakes.


    I love edible glitter :o. A friend makes us a Christmas cake each year ( so etching I actually dislike, both because I don't much like her cake, - everyone else does- but that's ok as I don't eat it, but also because it steals the fun of making a cake from me!) but she at least gives it to me plain and each year I just dust it in glitter, plain white, but sparkly.


    They also do things like tin hire and stuff, but mainly I look looking at the glitter and colours. I don't ice things really ( we had to at school, is n't that a crazy thing to learn at school? ...I'm no good at it, making yes, decorating, frustrating, not fun. But glitter? Who cares if its not gold. Glistening sometimes is enough.

    I am guessing Gen's story is probably from a while back, St Pancras Thameslink (with lifts) must have been open for a few years now.



    Don't worry SilverC I would toot if I saw you in a pair of tight leggings :cool:

    I did honk then :probably. had my boots on from out side. Chicken house really needs a could clean near door. Why do I always wait till weather is bad to wash horse jacket ? Its somewhat ripe too.

    Isn't 'honk' a great word? :)

    LIR - sorry to hear things are getting worse. I hope FIRs actions have the desired effect. They were definitely made with the very best of intentions.

    I like a poached egg or dry fried when I'm being very last, upside down on a crumpet. The yolk does what butter should do in the holes of the crumpet.

    Its very messy to eat though. :o

    I like this too :) Especially with a little marmite on the crumpet. Nom nom nom.

    Today it is one year since I got the keys to my house :)

    Hi everyone. Been quite busy the past few days but I'm still alive!

    I didn't make it to the walk-in centre. Excuses... but I will keep that appointment on the 15th.

    Otherwise just been applying for lots of jobs :)

    No need for excuses, but I hope you will forgive me saying that I am utterly shocked by your news. As a tax payer, I am extremely keen for you to remain well, so that you are able to repay your student loan.
    No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?
