Thanks!

Did you completely trust your previous dentist? They are paid for work done. I knew someone who was told he needed twelve (yes, twelve!) fillings, and when he went elsewhere, in fact needed none :(

There was a stall at the Pexmas market selling wreaths for ?75!!! Very pretty wreaths but basically a bunch of twigs. The stallholders had sold out on Saturday afternoon, except for two .... She had had some smaller cheaper ones, but all sold ...

Oh dear :(

That's the sort of thing that would really wind me up, and sorry but it did make me laugh (apart from the bit about the mechanic, I hope you've reported him?) I agree, check with head office. It could also mess up their ordering. Years ago I was on an elimination diet to check out possible allergies, and at the beginning one of the few things I could eat was guavas (as apparently not many people are allergic to these). The supermarket I bought them from must have wondered why there was a sudden demand for guavas - and equally, why the sudden demand stopped once I could eat a wider variety of things. I'm still quite fond of guavas :) But as above, surely drinking so much soya milk on a long-term basis can't be good for you? Have you checked it out with your GP?

Is the child OK? It must have been quite frightening.

It's not a real competition, is it. It's television. Sorry to say I do still watch it, though this may be the last time. It's a tired old formula which they've tweaked a bit over the years but not tweaked enough to rekindle interest. As for X Factor, I have never seen it apart from on Gogglebox. Apart from not wanting to listen to crap music, the sight of Simon Cowell's smug face just turns my stomach :( ETA: Mind you, I'm beginning to feel the same about that woman on The Apprentice. Karen Brady?

On a more positive note than having your stomach removed after drinking a cocktail, I'd like to say how wonderful it is to have both Poundland and Lidl in Peckham. Obviously you have to weed out the rubbish, but I've bought stuff in both places which were absolute bargains. And I bought some great thermal tights in Primark last week, too, three pairs for a fiver :)

The Flying Pig has a sofa. No idea what their coffee is like though!

KK you aren't usually such a misery! How do you know why people do things? Maybe it's because they like to have a good time and an excuse to celebrate with their friends and family at the darkest time of the year? My google suggestion was related to your comment about religion, and nothing to do with spending money :)

You can also use Pataks curry paste. Various kinds, and quick and easy. Making an Indian meal from scratch with several different dishes can take a very long time, at least when I do it! Poppadums take a minute in the microwave. Rice, raita, chutney etc all easy. So why eat out? Because it's a nice experience??

I find that song quite chilling :(

KK greenery at this time of year is about the Solstice and the return of light and growth. It's got nothing to do with religious superstition. A bit like Easter eggs. ETA: The Christians hijacked existing festivals and superimposed their own beliefs onto them, so Christmas and Easter were previously celebrating something completely different. Google it :)

Thanks we've sorted it, thanks to Facebook. Someone is kindly lending us one. Phew!!!!!

There are other kinds of Cotoneaster though which have smaller berries? Eg Cotoneaster horizontealis (I think it is) ETA: horizontalis

We quite often have a roast at home, though not usually at lunchtime. But sometimes it's nice to go out and have a walk in the woods or the park and then a meal and a pint and let someone else cook and wash up :) Would be a dull old world if we were all the same, eh Foxy?!

I know, also Amazon, but see above, it's a matter of getting the right one in time for Thursday, but thanks.
