I've just deleted a Karonious self-help lecture as it sounded very patronising
I will have to talk at them over the weekend eh? That at least will make them so glad that they don't live near us that they may well appreciate their lives as they are!

We used to have a hammock with it's own stand: I wouldn't mind having that back.
I am in a real baking/cooking phase: I would like my breadmaker but I am realistic enough to realise it would be a passing phase and you can make bread without one anyway.
Although my cat had already died so she was never coming anyway, I WANT SNARF!
