DfV, that's why you need to dunk in HOT water - it will dry quicker.

@Magpie100 - I agree with you about the Book Seat and am coveting the paisley version from their website. Perhaps it's time to start planning a weekend away somewhere near one of their stockists and a few good charity shops!

Absolutely, just when it's That hot, I am levering plates out with a wooden spoon & scalding my fingertips. Don't have to leave it long drying though!

Love that denim skirt @Miro!

Totally agree with @Floss about the hot water.

Had a chat to DH the other day about how I pretty much have all the Cornishware I need except a massive teacup (I do have an M and S dupe).

Anyway today we were having one of our pensioneering mornings: free Waitrose coffee, free Lidl bakery items and a mooch round furniture charity shops (DH is looking for a piece of furniture to make into a throne/beds for the cats). In the final CS visited lo and behold a HUGE Cornishware Cloverleaf cup and saucer for £5. And a lovely striped towel that is like towelling on one side and a Turkish towel on the other for £5 also.

Hello there chums, I have been MIA recently as I lost my chazzer mojo for a while, however yesterday I took a trip in to @goldfinches favourite shop in the city centre and managed to get exactly the fascinator I have been searching for, a bargain at only £5. The colour hasn’t come out all that well in the pic, but it is exactly the bronze/chocolate colour I was after.

Wear proper Marigolds and use tongs, ideally long ones with silicon ends.

@goldfinches ooh yes please, a charabanc to the chazzers to hunt down book seats! I find it so odd that they don't sell them online, and that there is no competitor that does, either. I think it's a really neat idea. Maybe I should check Amazon and Temu, though am reluctant to sully my hands there…

Someone actually made me a personalised book mark a while back.

@Potternerd little baffled by your post. How can one have all the Cornishware one needs? Sadly I sold much of mine in an effort to pay off a mortgage and I regret it. I kept some, but, will slowly buy back what I find that I can "use" as in current needs are a Lentils jar and another sugar jar and …well anything really!!

Oh and I "need" another horlicks jug to replace the one that has been badly cracked in an accident that stores wooden spoons. Or a Cornish Ware pot to put to same use!
