I've been loaned Mad Men boxed set series I and II. I can't get enough of it. And the dresses, oy.

They go for my cashmere sweaters. Little fuckers ers. I've been using Pheromone Traps for the last 3 years and I'm finding less moths/less holes. You can buy the traps in the DIY shop near Green & Blue but they don't stock the refills. You'll need to get the refills online. http://www.mothcontroldirect.co.uk/acatalog/Clothes_Moth_Pheromone_Traps.html It's not a cheap option - I spent about ?60 on refills back in April. I change the strips about once a month and I have traps all over the house. It isn't a lot of money when you think how much damage they can do to your clothes and carpets. Basically the traps attract and kill male moths so the remaining female moths don't get their eggs fertilized. The females get lonely and horny and console themselves with eating my cashmere (unless I can sneak up on them with the long tube bit of the hoover first).

It's a sad but true fact Mr McDoto that my frock fund is regularly burgled by a local gang of unscrupulous card sharks. I?m so poor today I can barely stretch to a McDonalds, let alone a McQueen. Don't worry at all about me; I'll be fine with a packet of Ryvita until payday.

Hey where was the free booze? I didn't get the memo.

No idea LM - whatever you like. Just hugs.

Hugs

Is today national "kiss and make-up day". Well I'm all in favour so hallelujah and hugs all round. Pxx

My personal jury is out on this one. I'll wait until I read the article. But you'd better make sure you have a tin hat handy on that day JRus.

Hello. How've you bin?

I've never been to a gig in my life.

Yes, headed towards Tesco Express (friendly fire then).

... and, for good measure, give it a squirt of starch and a quick press

RosieH, You may just need to reboot your ipod if it's frozen. How you do that depends on the model. Try here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1320 Px

Was it Vintage wine?

Horses - Patti Smith

Anyone who is offended by the word "silly" shouldn't be posting on a public forum. It's beyond tame. Whereas calling someone a "Daily Mail reader" is jaw-droppingly vile.

I think what Narnia wrote was really mild. He asked whether s/he had washed the grapes and said "If so then that's really silly". What he said amounted to "did you wash the grapes? if not then you were silly". How much milder can you get than that? Certainly he didn't deserve "Narnia and computedshorty you are pathetic people, get @#$%& and go back to reading the daily mail or whatever people like you do all weekend." There's no excuse for that.

OK I've re-read the OP's post and my fraud was slightly different. Someone applied for a new phone contract using my name and address. The phone is delivered and the fraudster hangs around OUTSIDE and when the courier arrives he says something like "I've locked myself out" or "you've just caught me on the way out". Anything to get the courier to hand over the package on the doorstep. It should be a code of practice that nothing gets handed over on the doorstep. The courier should only give something to someone who is INSIDE of the delivery property. I am a fairly trusting person but where packages and couriers are concerned I'm very cautious and take nothing at face value. There are just so many fraudsters out there.

Yes this is really common. I had someone apply for a mobile phone contract in my name from O2 and O2 swore blind the phone was delivered to my address. It won't be stamped out until there is a code established whereby couriers don't hand over goods on the doorstep. The courier should refuse to give goods to anyone who isn't INSIDE the property. NO EXCEPTIONS. If someone is hanging around outside waiting for the delivery then it's FRAUD.

It was a water home birth PR, I think RosieH was being literal. Px

Ouch

Go to Forest Hill station or East Dulwich station. Get the train to East Croydon. Transfer to the tram (just outside the station). Get the tram to IKEA (or wherever you're going). You can use your Oyster on the tram.

Brendan confided in me a few weeks ago that he was going to name his son and heir HonaloochieB. There you go, I've let the cat out of the bag now. He hasn't changed his mind has he?
