    However I did fall through a door when I was about 10 - that wasn't safety glass.

    Did you do it a second time? Noooo...

    That was the good ole 1970's - what an era. I was falling through doors, John Noakes was climbing up Nelson's Collumn armed only with a ladder leaning the wrong way! :eek:

    Have had had words with the lodger.
    She is not happy.
    Hey ho.
    Life is too short to put up with this crap.

    She is a guest. She seems to have fallen into the role of "Spoilt brat and Mother". As you say, life is too short for that.

    Butti I remember one of my mum's foster children doing a backward roll straight through our glass door in the 1970s. Oh the days before health and safety :)

    And if you join myWaitrose, you'll find that they have revolving lists of what's available at a 20% discount, which can make the odd item the cheapest around. Not worth doing it for things that have ranges (like Alpro) but if you see their Essentials range, thats clear enough. I got 500g of marmite for not-very-much :rotfl:
