This is my thread, mention it ALL you like COFFEE COFFEE COFFEE COFFEE COFFEE COFFEE COFFEE COFFEE See, nobody died! though a butterfly may have beat it's wings in Patagonia.

Being slightly nonplussed by the rain, i've taken the decision to wait in for courier to collect a pallet. I used a what was left of the cling wrap just because it was there, knowing the guy the other end will probably wonder why it's so obviously over wrapped. You can just about make out the wording on the boxes Thinking it was Friday I promised to personally deliver some stuff, but shall put it off until tomorrow. Driving in the rain is not on my to-do-list in life today I'm drinking instant coffee even though the jar stood next to the proper coffee jug thing, couldn't be arsed & eyeballs ache slightly I have eaten 3/4 of a Daim bar in 4 bites

Don't really want to get 'out there' today Deliberately distracting myself much of the morning, but somehow managed necessary things All washing up done *stares out of window* *sigh* Oh fekk sake....COME ON !!!!! *launches out into the worlD*

So rude of me, i'd overlooked your post Sue and mine wasn't directed at you I get your point but I see the Zippo guys side too. It's tough out there and they've got a finite amount of time, so it's a bit "who shouts loudest" Aside of that, is The Goose your sole business or is it a paying hobby ? Maybe you could do a Folk-Circus-Fusion thang with Zippo I'd come see it for sure

By the time the pole or rail over stands the outside dimensions you'll be nearer 1.4 ish So probably x 2 drapes I reckon and consider a flat blind under that if the sash can take it. However, if it's in a blind spot, like behind you as you enter the room. Then a single more tailored looking drape tied back onto the wall side works. If it's a bedroom then longer lengths that break onto the floor soften the look, too straight is an atmosphere killer. A neat triple pinch pleat with a 3-4 finger flat gap on the header tape with give the fabric some life without looking too full or flat. If you have them made then the liner is best left unattached at the bottom, the drape hangs well this way. Though an overly heavy fabric does puff out somewhat, best a heavier liner and a lighter outer. Choose neutrals that aren't too contrasty with the scheme, so the whole look becomes an exercise in tone and texture rather than a "Wowwser, where did that fabric come from ?" moment If the answer is "In a sale, I wasn't really sure at first" then you may be in need of a front wedgie (you could be living with your decision for a fair while) Of course these are my views, you may like other things *ahem* *looks at fottie results, whilst flicking through Backstreet Heroes*

Yes the posters can be a bit irritating > but only a bit and I think people are > over-reacting. Let's keep it in perspective. Agree We went last year on a dull wet Monday night, it was well worth it. My 72 year old neighbour had been and told us YOU MUST GO and my kids still talk about it. One thing tho, don't buy your kids or partner a swirling illuminated windmill or sword, it's way too distracting. It is meant to be slightly cheesy but it's amazingly skilful too. Mind you with Through the Keyhole and Surprise Surprise back on the box, my Cheese-O-Meter is way out of tune, so chill out there They ride horses and dogs are involved, both mans best friend since time immemorial If we don't have the circus coming to town then we've definitely lost something, it's a great tradition that adapts with time. Mind you, there's always some misery who'll not like it Thankfully they stay safely tucked up behind a keyboard, making notes on which poster site upset them most Long Live Zippo's

I'm sure this request has been mauled to death on here before, no ? Anyway it's a shite piece of TV but it pays your wages, so good luck to you Can we nominate people please 1. Sue 2. Aquarius moon 3. David Carnell 4. Woodrot 5. Louisa 6. steveo I'd spend 30 3 minutes anytime watching these guys

Zippo is a clown, right? Naughty clown fly posting everywhere I like Zippo's, specially the dangerous motorbike stunt guys Yeah - tho he could do with being a bit more careful with his poster *honks horn - doors fall off car*

Did you really find a dragonfly? You are so > lucky. Haven't seen one of those in years. Yes we did find a dragon fly Most beautiful it was too, all blue black along its body I'd never held one but golden child seems to have the touch with bugs, and stuff like that And yes, a woman's work is never done :)

Monday 16th Pm Paraded round the boudoir in suzzies imaging what the burly scaffolder might do with me, if he caught a glimpse of me Squeezed one out and got my everyday frock on, wished the scaffolder dead for NOT noticing me as I ambled past. I gave him a piece of my mind, in my mind. "Who ate all the pies, hope you fall off that fekkin roof tomorrow, yeah in your dreams fat boy" Collected golden child from school, I was a little late and he gave me the 'look' Walked to the park and watched the child play footy as I chatted to the other mums. Child plays beautifully with the other boys, beating them 21 goals to 16 Strolled back home, sun on our backs, found a dragon fly resting on the ground Enthralled child rescues it and it sits a while on his hand, we're rightly spell bound. Child breaks the silence with "Hey, it's got a face like a sumo" We wander home via Tesco and buy chicken for HomeTucky (wheat and gluten free btw) then I go at the dishes. What the hell my other half does all day I don't know, but I do know we DO NOT NEED 24 knives in our cutlery tray, so I edit ALL the kitchen implements. Less implements=less washing up. That'll learn ya, I think to myself. I mention my achievements/strategy on the phone to the other half, only to be told "Don't be such a w4nker" Put child to bed and await the return of pre-teen other child Look again at diminishing washing up Look again at diminishing washing up Get pen to make PLEASE WASH AND DRY UP AS YOU GO sign Admire my handy work Pre teen returns. "Did you make that sign?" "Yes" I answer "Oh you're really asking for trouble, you know that don't you" "Yes" I answer again "I'm trying to get a point across with that sign" I follow with Pre teen looks, slowly shakes his head and walks off upstairs

Monday 16th Partner left for work trip, not back until Wednesday Looked at the washing up Looked at the washing up Looked at the washing up Made a coffee, looked at the washing up Took my youngest to school, much joy as don't get to do often Went to have a cafe breakfast, phone rings, order take away roll Tried to get tyres on the van changed, ended up looking at 3 beautifully restored BMW motorcycles that aren't for sale No tyres in stock, though now ordered Reheated soup, added chilli shrimp salt & dried onion Answered phone to inquiry about rare Binchotan Stood outside watching scaffolder tip toe up roof, secretly hoped he'd fall off Looked at clock Leaving for school with onion breath

I reckon i've got about 50+ 'Vintage' ones here in my pantry Maybe i'll set up a 'Bag Lady Boy' stall in the market on Saturday "Feel my bags, love you long time Mr"

I raise your Wahaca with Brindisa Food Rooms housed under two railway arches Coming soon to Brixton donca know

Handcrafted coffee table = Yes, I screwed those castors on my self up-cycled from reclaimed wood = I found a pallet at the back of the roofing shop and made in East Dulwich = Coz I live there I don't like the 'Rustins Dark Walnut Quick dry acrylic satin finish' tho. Not in keeping with its industrial heritage sadly. Other wise, it's an absolute bargain/piece of sh*t

Urg - but I feel for you Rather than rip out the whole kitchen you should be able to get under most cabinets by removing the front plinth. Or take the work top off. Most kitchens have a space behind the cabinets, some larger than others. When pesky mice and once a rat came in during building works (eeekkk) I located the hole by using my i phone on video mode, as I couldn't get my head near the gap. I shoved a light into the gap and then the phone, slowly surveying the space. Turned out the plumber had broken through the wall near to a large pipe, leaving enough space for a larger rodent. We plugged the gap with cement mixed up with a good amount of crushed glass. Never seen the pesky rodents again. Good luck tho.
