For a wonderful minute I thought this meant she was dead. Yes, lets give her a state funeral, preferably with an open coffin that we can file past then; a) we can be certain she's really dead and b) know where she's buried so can visit at a later date.....wearing tap-shoes :mrgreen: You & Me bo...

Hi All, This is a great thread :cooldude: I've never driven (and raised three kids without a car - no one could understand that one.) I've always managed to get me, my partner & them wherever we've wanted to be. on time & happy. Had more than one person say to me " Why bother you can bu...

When I worked in a wholefood shop I had a guy come in and say he "didn't like all this organic food because it was grown in far too much manure for his liking" Hamster - did you know that the fabulous designer kaffe Fasset was taught to knit by a woman sitting opposite him on a train? He'd...

Sorry this happened to you. I don't think you're being silly I'd feel the same.

Funny you should say that - I'm having real bother with chapped lips right now - so guess whats going on them! The one I bought is most certainly solid in a bottle with a gold coloured top. The make is "Pride" and states that it is 100% pure coconut oil. I just asked Chris to smell it - a...

Hello & Welcome
