Great prints, Duo. I have a very similar footstool from sofa.com, Sally.

You're so kind about my floor. It needs redone but Covid put paid to that. I'll get around to it next year.

Oh they are lovely! Where will you hang them?

I never post here but I have just hung this painting of Whitby Abbey and I want to show you. I have others to hang too but lack the will today. Also, my bookends for the bathroom, which I love.

I love that pic of Whitby Abbey.

The ladies are going in the dining room and the two others are for the living room.

Looks good!

The plant stand that I wanted to buy a month ago finally came back in stock today. It fills the space in my kitchen nicely.

Are dried flowers too 1970s even for me? I think these might be lovely.

I like those but I would worry the y would just gather dust.

They give advice for how to clean them (cool hairdryer etc).

Those are incredibly pretty and seasonal.

[baargain]

I love them. I've got some preserved flowers, and am about to buy more.

[Squirrel]

They are lovely!

I HAVE BOUGHT MYSELF A MAGIMIX! only a year later than intended. My summer health kick went well, but it has left me heartily sick of slicing, chopping and grating a million vegetables which get scattered all round the kitchen. Now I can process the bloody lot of them!

[Squirrel]

Aaaarrgghhhhhhj! I’ve just unpacked it and they’ve sent me the wrong colour!

[Mayday]

Oh no, Squirrel!

[Pippedydeadeye]

Oh no! Can you learn to love the colour?

[Squirrel]

No. It’s bright red and I wanted silver (which is more expensive!), I probably would have settled for cream or another pale colour but the red isn’t me.

The silver is out of stock . I’m going to return it and see if I can get one from somewhere else.

And make my slaw by hand again .

Ah that's a complete bummer. I don't like red appliances and would have been very disappointed. I hope you can get another silver one.

[Pippedydeadeye]

Red isn’t what I’d accept either. At a push cream or black might be ok with a discount, but I’d send red back too. What a shame.

It was my first day back at work today after six months and I bought myself this, which has been on my shopping list for literally years, as a very special treat. I’m ridiculously disappointed!

I can drive to an Argos miles away and pick one up on Thursday, it looks like that’s my best option. Bah humbug!

[AshleyX]

Oh, gutting. I’d be properly disappointed too!
