I got it from eBay - it was sent from Japan. It was stupidly expensive for a small piece of plastic but I do love it very much 😳😄 This one is the same but has more stuff with it - there are a few come...

I fell down the stairs this morning and my toes ended up losing a fight with the banisters. They're really quite sore, though not massively swollen, and it hurts to walk. Am I right in thinking...

Not a combination I would have expected.

I'm sure I'm not supposed to but I can't stop laughing. The rabbit on wheels ? The dog on the stairlift ? The masturbating parrot ? I think MrH will be ill from not enough oxygen if we keep watching ...

I'm out of strong bread flour - can I get away with ordinary plain flour? I know strong flour has more gluten but how essential is that for pizza?

Thanks to Ethel's post I'm becoming addicted to looking at bento-related things on the internet. I'm starting to worry that I might neeeeeed a Hello Kitty onigiri mould ? Anyway, tell me about boxes....

Sticky notes.

Just listened to the 2 minute news on BBC1 - they were talking about Karen Matthews and how concerns were raised about her parenting several years ago. They then said "She has 6 children by 5...

Elton John tonight. I'm so glad it's back ? MrH will be unimpressed with the description of the Mighty Watford as a fourth division team though ??

Anyone know about customs restrictions getting into Australia? I suspect that my BILs ideal Christmas gift would be a parcel of Soreen maltloaf. I seem to remember taking some with us last time we...

Dear God it's depressing. The women are all convinced these younger men are besotted with them and they're so not. It's just dire. I feel a bit ill watching it, but not enough to switch it off,...

It's time to replace the company car. We're probably opting out but are definitely keeping the free fuel card so price of fuel is no option. With that in mind, is it better to go for petrol or diesel?...

I have seen four this evening in one 15 minute journey. Three at least are lucky to still be alive. In one case I was merging right at a junction where the other road comes up from a tunnel so it's...

What Shall I Do With My Hair? It's shoulder length, fine, slightly wavy and unutterably boring. I fancy a change but I'm scared. I have limited time for doing it in the mornings - the most I can do is...

A lovely set of coasters

I know, I know, rock n roll innit? But there's going to be the first ever £1 million valuation on the programme and I'm trying to spot what it's going to be ?

There are a lot of particularly grim ones just now - the seatbelt one and the level crossing one. I know they need to be hard hitting but they do rather upset me.

I know it raises loads of money for charity and does great work and all that but the TV side of it has been going on for so many years it's stale and I'm afraid I'm bored of it. And I'm really not all...

Now have permission to post the code itself - it's genuine and from a friend that works there. They each have their own code and whoever 'sells' the most stuff with their code gets a prize ? Anyway,...

Anyone seen this? It's an Australian mockumentary set in a high school and it's flipping funny. BIL sent us a copy - apparently it's coming to BBC Three soon.

As a new pet

Have finally (sorry!) got round to reading this. I'm about half way through and I love it. It's fascinating - but also she writes with such a lovely warmth and humour. Where did you find it?

The Welsh speakers amongst you will know that the Welsh phrase there actually reads "I am not in the office at the moment. Please send any work to be translated." ? More here

This is very cool.

It's rare one sees Amstell silenced ?

She's back. I think MrH has got a bit carried away by yesterday's thread.

Can I heartily recommend that everyone make a venison stew with horseradish dumplings? Lush. That is all.

Starter needed for Christmas day. Main course probably roast venison. 1 can't eat cheese 1 won't eat fish, "wet things", rare meat, ham, bacon 1 doesn't do fruit or vegetables Mum usually does some...

We get slugs coming in overnight - we come downstairs to find slug trails on the carpet. MrH takes it as an invasion of his privacy and doesn't believe that normal people have slugs coming into their...

Place your vote here Results are interesting, if predictable. Who knew the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia were so inclined? I guess the clue is in the name ?

It's very funny. Kind of like South Park but with Lego men. And gay.

Am writing a reference for an ex-student who wants to apply to medical school. What qualities would you imagine a medical faculty would look for in prospective students?
