But then I'm a fat greedy pig

How about a soda stream???

/12502/sodastream-jet-drinksmaker

I want the pig shaped chopping board ?

mr c said he'd phoned lakeland and they'd all sold out and were getting no more in, ever, ever ?

Ooh I love a good nose through the Lakeland catalogue! off for a browse...

I'm a total gadget geek so I love Lakeland. I'd buy one of those instant hot water kettles but don't know how much they are. I like to see how many different things I can buy for a certain amount of money. I always end up with fried egg moulds, things to make my oven shiny, utensils I never use and lots of cling film and plastic containers!

Oooh and if you like liquorice, their soft stuff is really nice!

I had been thinking about lots of frivilous nice muffin/cup cake cases, cake tin liners etc but I'm more than a wee but tempted by a soda stream. I would love one andhaven't even thought about Lakeland selling them. Hmmm. ?

Aww, poor KtC and your pig chopping board!

he actually said this about three seconds after i said 'ooooh, look at this' and showed him the brand new catalogue

i think maybe he was fibbing...

I would love a soda-stream, but I see they don't do any sugar-free syrups. Whhhyyyy? ?

'cause they ming? ?

They so don't. <pout>

Ooh - I've just seen they're opening a new store in Liverpool in October. I can see my credit cards taking a battering that month.

(I'm sooooo sad - once upon a time it would have been shoes and booze - now it's chopping boards!)

I can't get into Lakeland. It just doesn't float my boat.?

I could go mad in a perfume shop though! or leather goods, but Lakeland nope.

are you my twin? ?

I have an unused soda stream in my shed - that's what happens when the novelty wears off I'm afraid ?

I'd buy their soft liquorice. All £50 worth ?

I'd bust the budget and buy the jam maker, or a remonska, or a soda stream, an apron... basically lots of lovely kitchen stuff, not a fan of the craft bits.

Sophie couldn't you just fizz plain water and add sugar free cordial?

Keiren, I sell pig shaped chopping boards at my work, £3.50. Want one?

My local Lakeland have reduced their craft section to the bare minimum. Apparently it's a company wide thing, there's no craft catalogue this season ☹️

J

But you can't get slimline tonic water cordial afaik ☹️

I am intrigued by this /12301/stirr

Was about to list a recipe for making from scratch lol but they sell sugar free tonic concentrate direct from the sodastream website for 2.59. scary long link follows...

what do they look like? how big are they? ?

Not as square as the lakeland ones and are lighter wood. Size looks the same...

J

p&p?

and would mr c divorce me? ?

i got my first archery 'medal' last week btw. you should have seen the bruise i got, it was navy blue ?. its faded now but its still sore, and there's a big lumpy bit still on my arm ?

yup, they're pulling the entire craft range. The last craft catalogue was the last one.

The My Kitchen bakeware is excellent, I dabble with the idea of a Remoska and neeeeeeed the train and car shaped baking tins.

I was allowed to go to Lakeland HQ on holiday. It's fab, they have a man creche and everyfink.

this is me ---> ? with envy

whats a man creche?

free 'net access, the day's papers, comfy chairs. OK, they don't actually call it a creche, but it's clearly where the husbands are parked. Oh, and a bloomin' good cafe.

Tell Mr C it's your Secret santa late (or early!) As for P&P, stick the equivalent to charity?

Well done on your medal, The first one I got was navy too with a blood blister in the middle, not pretty.

PM your address and I'll get it on thursday when I'm in and post on me lunch.

J

should have that in all shops really ?

how do i pm now? it seems to have gone...is it the conversation function?

i don't mind paying the p&p as if i ordered the lakeland one i would easily spend fifty quid, but i'll donate it to charity if you prefer ?

how do you want paying?

I'd buy this: https://www.lakeland.co.uk/search/50787

Then I could fill it with bags of tomatoes, heaps of lettuce and lashings of ginger beer, and set off on another adventure with Julian, Dick, Anne and Timmy

Well, I don't have paypal, could email you my details and sort it there?

J

Ok, i've 'started a conversation' with you, which i guess is like a pm?

if it lets you reply i'll send all details ?
