So which one are you buying? The Snuggie is totally minature, the Freedom is almost two feet shorter, and the Blankoat needs a bank loan!

What's the name of those fabulous Egyptian big nighty things. A word sounding like jellabears or something.

Had one of them once, working for Professors of Egyptian studies. They'd be good, made out of fleece. Holes in all the right places.

Damn I am being lazy today too, DJKQ!

Yeah I know what you mean about writing, I'm getting a fair bit done meself, on here lol.


In fact I think I can safely say that it is the forum that has kept me in bed today.....where I have now been joined by a glass of Perri and a bag of peanuts >:D<


Didn't see GMTV tho.....were they good? Mr Childs and Ms Bleakley?

W**F

Same situation this morning; simply can't get up.

Except to make coffee of course.

BUT, the difference is, apart from checking emails and EDF and BBC News, I am full of need to write and am now off to the other side of the bed to do so....! Yayy! Very productive AND in bed with a purring cat at my feet. Thinking of buying that coffee filter machine on offer in the For Sale section so I don't actually have to get up and go to the kitchen.

    • London doesn’t have a lot of Argentinian places specialising in empanadas, which suggests demand isn’t that great. There are many neighbourhoods with none at all or even nearby.  So for a mini-chain like Chango (several branches in SW London) to open here where there’s already a well established family run place doing the same feels a bit off.  I’ll be giving Chacarero my ongoing custom. 
    • This is so helpful, everyone, thank you. @green bean Yes we have just (as of yesterday) installed the same external blinds you mention! We already had blackout blinds and we now have the external awnings too. Of course that will guarantee the end of the summer sunshine but I can see that they're going to be helpful as they let the light through but not the glare of the sun - I'm fed up of working in darkness with both the blackout blinds closed on sunny days. We'll see how we go with those for a bit but I reckon we'll get a couple of quotes from the other recommendations in case we end up going the whole hog. @penfold Love the idea of getting solar+batteries to offset the electricity usage so will look into that.  Thanks, all.
    • Yes Sally, I've emailed him several times since Xmas. I don't contact Councillors frequently but when I've done so over the years, I've found them generally engaged and responsive. It's unprecedented to just be ignored and, regardless of the query I'm raising, that's worrying from the point of view of  our local democratic voice. Its a Councillors role to represent local people! A different thread on here made reference to a lack of response from one of our ward councillors and, since there are only two, I'm guessing it's the same one. I'm following up my own concern separately but I'm asking on here about whether others have had the same problem. I'd like to think it's a one-off but, increasingly, I suspect it's not. Hope that gives a bit more context!
