I'm insisting on a washbasin with a cupboard underneath,

I've got one of those. Not that I bought it. It came with the house in 2005. It's the most mouldy horrible thing in the house. The drips from the basin have rotted the shelf.


I won't have any wood in the bathroom when it's replaced. It always goes mouldy, and looks awful.

I love that cloud of toilet paper :rotfl:and I hope the only people who buy the shelf are already genuine millionaires, who can afford it :rotfl:


GQ, thanks for the linkie to the "the mountain will teach" post - really, really good, I like it even more now, making the comparison with our everyday lives explicit.

I personally dont give a boogger what people call it. I am buying more tins for my store cupboard and that is that. I'm not being stuck up here miles from a shop and not well enough to trek round shops, without a decent stash of food in.

:kisses3: to mardatha
and
:kisses3: to my friend Goldie.

Who actually think very similarly to one another, and to me :j
I've just done a proper stockup shop, to be delivered Tuesday. I usually do one a month, but I'll do two this month, taking advantage of coupons on Saynsbo that give £10 off a £60 spend. Delivery costs £1, so its a win-win as far as I'm concerned.

If things do go pear-shaped (and that's the last thing I want to happen btw) we who have a storecupboard have removed ourselves from being part of the problem, thus freeing up limited supplies for others. This will benefit others who think we're nutjobs, whether they know it or not.:rotfl:

I agree GQ, exactly this if things go mad - I've got my supplies in, as little bits extra in my shopping, over a period of months. Except for my dried peas and beans, but even there I'm hardly breaking the system - 5kg, a brownies camp will have that over a weekend :rotfl:

I'm quietly confident that the magic of the free market will suffice to get around the incompetance of the political classes. None of the supermarkets wants to see their shelves empty and their customers queuing to get into their rivals' stores. The big chains almost certainly have brighter buttons working on their logistics and planning sides than those who've taken Westminster's shilling.

I think you're right, I was seeing something the other day about businesses stocking up for brexit continuity has added an appreciable amount to 4th quarter statistics (which means the usual trade figures would have been dreadful, hey ho).

As a matter of fact, I am the proud possessor of three gilets jaunes.


The original one which was my Dad's when he was gainfully employed has been in use as my cycling weskit, and I have another two as spares, picked up at the chazzers for 50p and £1 respectively.


Sooooo, I just need two likely lassies to join me and we can riot every weekend until we bring the grubbyment to their knees. Howzabout it, maryb and Karmakat?

I'm putting myself on Light Duties for the next 7 days. I shall string my bow at home next Monday night and try bringing it to full draw (bit of a menace to the lampshade by life was never meant to be easy). If nothing hurts badly, I shall be arching on 15th. Once I've got my eye in, I shall be ready to lead the troops to Forn Parts. One look at us lot and I'm sure they'll surrender toot de sweet. Or even sooner.

Anyone remember Jake Thackeray on Esther Rantzen’s That’s Life? “ As soon as this pub closes, we’ll man the barricades”

If storing toilet rolls then unpacking them and slightly flattening them will take up a bit less space especially in a suitcase.

Have just ordered some more tealights as the family used quite a few over Christmas and New Year and stocked up on some more laundry capsules as DDs have been given some of the ones I already have to help them out. I also made an order from approved foods for some good deals on toilet rolls, eco friendly nappies for grand daughter, coffee and soft drinks.

Hugs to all whatever the colour of your waistcoat.

jko, I've seen that happen, too, will be researching VERY carefully! If I can't find what I'm after, then it might have to be some sort of open shelves around the basin - we know a lovely man who can make anything, think Heath Robinson, so he may be on the job. He's even been known to make the tools he needs to make the thing, if that makes sense!

We had THE biggest stock of tealights before Christmas, but DD (9) took it upon herself to fill every lantern and holder and light them every night - must have used at least a dozen a day! :rotfl: Now need a trip to !kea to replace... :rotfl:
