I like the chair ... but I like the dragon best of all

I only replace mine when I can't find my old ones! :oops: :lol: I must have done some tidying at some point and as is often the case with tidying can't find a darn thing afterwards! You would think I would have kept them with the jars as usual but I remember thinking, "I know I'll put them ...&...

Oh, something we did for a friends fiftieth a few years ago was select some nice photos showing different times in their life and blew them up and put them on the walls. They looked great and it created a nice chatting point for everyone at the party too.

Flowers are always lovely and if it's over the summer maybe some of the guests will have some nice roses or what have you in their gardens?

Great looks

Here's me with a nice bit of builders bum

Yeah, I did chutney, last christmas for a prezzie for my dad, in kilner jars with no waxed discs and they're still fine ... I say they, not eating chutney myself I made what I now realise is a ridiculous qautity for one person to eat, so it's a good job it's keeping ok! Good luck, hope it turns out ...

Phew! Just back from MILs and made it through without taking my sugar crash out on anyone (no mean feat I can assure you) and even managed to eat my dinner politely though still feeling sick :thumbright: Now, if I can just avoid those pesky biscuits and the one remaining tart until bedtime, I can st...
