Am I being thick. But what about a wine bucket? You can get some lovely ones.. and the wine does not get diluted.

I hope you don't get the presents mixed up.... that could end up a little messy x

I had sent DS1 £100 with the direction of paying for a meal and him getting his girlfriend a Christmas present from us when she visited. He thought it was a good idea, then I received a message stating that there was nothing really to buy where they were and the meal was £5 (as they were in Cambodia).

No sign of the £95 being returned... but I have now received a message with her address on asking that I sent her a present. I had thought of send an English Xmas hamper, but fleecy pj's, hat etc are a bit wasted in Singapore!....

I am also fuming with DS2's girlfriend. She came to ours for the weekend. Did not say hello when she arrived or goodbye when she left. She only came out of his room when she needed feeding. I did have polite words with DS2 when she had left. I have bought her some lovely presents, but don't feel like giving her them (I also have a few nice ones for reindeer girl... )

That god non of the others have other halves...... I could not deal with the stress.



In the whole world!

:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Oh what a cheek . Send him a message telling him to get her one out of the £95 lol

I have some beautiful decanters that I "inherited"

Can anyone tell me how to clean them inside though. The one I did try to clean us now marked with condensation as it's impossible to dry/ polish them inside. Doesn't matter how much you try you just can't get all the moisture out. I've tried hairdryers .....everything

TM.....If they are glass....I'd use bleach solution....leave it in a while and give it a whirl with a bottle brush...:D

Stand them on a radiator for a while to dry them out..

Use a bottle brush to clean them out, dry as best as you can then pop rice in them...

I don't think it will work, in reality I think I paid for all their meals when they were together

He went to Vietnam yesterday... not likely he will get anything done. So I will need to get something together and post it to Singapore.

Morning all.

Rinse it with boiled water that has cooled down (so you dont get the limescale inside) then leave it to dry overnight upside down (put it on a kitchen roll holder or something or make a support from tea towels ert.)
