Funnily enough that's exactly when most internet shopping gets done here. :rotfl:“The great enemy of the truth is very often not the lie – deliberate, contrived, and dishonest – but the myth, persistent, persuasive, and unrealistic.

Ritter sport is a decent mass market choccy in Europe, in every shop over there just as cadbury or kitkat would be here.
I quite like them, some interesting flavours.“The great enemy of the truth is very often not the lie – deliberate, contrived, and dishonest – but the myth, persistent, persuasive, and unrealistic.

I have different candles. Nice scented ones which are in sticks less often used but that I hope smell good and they look nice....a sort of deep cream, or honey comb, and then any odds and sods that are bought cheap
Y for rapid burning. ATM the cheap lot include old sets of broken gold ones and some plain cream ones. So, e.g. I have nice scented ones on cheese room mantel piece, which rarely get lit ATM, then cream on table and alter, which get lit very often.[/QUOTE]

See post 1699 :cool:
I still have work to do though. So not so much on it...0 -
I'm not sure an NP should use that smiley when someone is not well...
He's just got a bit of a nasty cold. I wasn't laughing about that. I was laughing about the colossal effort we put into getting the place tidy before his non-arrival.That might be all you've done, but I think the impact of it is greater than the sum of its parts?
Well done to you and your DKs. I also like your list of what you want to get - I'm sensing a change in you...
Thank you. A change would be nice. Don't hold your breath, though. I'm pretty good at making plans about my house. Following through on them is a different matter, though.lemonjelly wrote: »Hey up all!
Sorry not been around much. Mega amount of stuff on at the mo, hence the inactivity. Hoping things will settle over the next month, but had some negative news this morning which ain't going to help things.
Oh no. Sending hugs. :grouphug:Do you know anyone who's bereaved? Point them to https://www.AtaLoss.org which does for bereavement support what MSE does for financial services, providing links to support organisations relevant to the circumstances of the loss & the local area.

Tyre performance in the wet deteriorates rapidly below about 3mm tread - change yours when they get dangerous, not just when they are nearly illegal (1.6mm).
Oh, and wear your seatbelt. My kids are only alive because they were wearing theirs when somebody else was driving in wet weather with worn tyres.0 -

What kind of diffusers do you have? I like the idea of a differs ers we smelled that day in Neal's yard apocathery( we have normal tea light oil burners al ready).
I think we're just about to look under our structural Lino in the 'old' bathroom upstairs and I imagine that is going to smell frightful.
Edit. I have tried apocathery, apocathary, and apocathory. I just decided to go with one of them in the end. No idea.0
