    No offence meant to anyone who is a foreign carpenter.:p

    not the 1950s - this was my home circa the 1970s

    We knew about spaghetti because mum worked with an Italian lady and her family grew up on spaggetti and tinned tomatoes - we hated it which is surprising as its my main food group now.

    We didnt have cooking oil it was too expensive. Mum fried the weekly chips in lard. Afterwards the lard was poured into a tin to coll not even sieved and kep under the sink until the next Friday.
    Friday was fish day of course
    And yes we still had camp coffee, liquid in a bottle, vile stuff

    Its no wonder I was so thin, I hated every meal time. I think social services would have been involved now

    Please can someone remind me which store the Venus are glitching with ? I understand 10 would be a good number to order for a C&C and even better if not in stock. Sorry for asking but can't see them on MySupermarket and just trying to have a quick break from Mum. Thanks.

    P.S. Anyone think they will work for a C&C tomorrow?

    Not had mine yet either.

    But I did get a 452 point bonus yesterday. I have no idea what this is for. Not done any other offers I can think of, unless I won a prize??

    Is this the guess the destination prize that runs weekly?

    . I do think a chaise lounge is a good description of you though. Stylish yet comfortable and laid back :)

    May the odds be ever in your favour;)
