Such a good idea.

I had a nightmare in Sainos yesterday, they had run out of organic Braeburns and my dc don't like Royal Gala.

It's not that one minds, it's that they will feel uncomftable there. They would be so much happier down the Sausage and Mash.

I have allowed my dh to have one 'big televisual peice of equipment'. He's from The 'Mid-Lands' and has a slight accent still, so we can larf it orf as his 'roots' still showing slightly.

No, Mary, I just want a SANCTUARY for those of us with problems slightly grander than whether or not Lidl or Aldi have cheaper bog rolls.

Tsk.

One thing that made me ponder on my middle class tendencies was an incident in an organic, made to order juice bar in London (not being in there, that's not enough) but that I had to stifle a grimace of horror when my very good friend ordered a wheatgrass and ekinekka.
Things only got worse after the discreet 'it's echinacea' chat when she informed me loudly in Selfridges that she didn't know what a courgette was.
I had to pack up and took her to Camden instead.
Luckily she didn't pay any attention to my supppressed shudders and we are still ver' good friends.

Nicnoc it is very large. With surround sound. And 3D.

Box set of Mad Men anyone?

OxfordBags · 29/05/2012 10:51

My mother genuinely rang me about 10 mins ago to rant about how she couldn't get blinis in Tesco. The humanity!

Hullygully · 29/05/2012 10:52

Tescoes is looking a bit of a poor show really , isn't it?

yes Mary, is the gardener young, tanned and muscled? Then I believe the answer is get him to do it with a scythe while you swan about with a trug nearby.

Is his young lithe back gleaming with sweat yet?

Then you have the dilemma of what to offer him as a cooling draught.

My lawn is made of wheatgrass.................I hand it out to poor people.

They look at me funny.

NicNocJnr · 29/05/2012 11:03

Make the gardener do it with nail scissors for having the audacity to let your lawn mower break down!

Word- that might do, that way I can hover and keep up the pretence of being disgusted with such vulgarity but secretly loving it

VerityClinch · 29/05/2012 11:15

I have a young, fit, tanned gardener. 13 years younger than me. All the old dears from the village "pop round" for completely spurious reasons every other Friday for a good old perv.

TheOriginalSteamingNit · 29/05/2012 11:18

I am concerned about the spelling of 'cosy' in the OP. My DC are of an impressionable age, and may see it and copy.

MissBetsyTrotwood · 29/05/2012 11:26

Mine lawn's made of seagrass and I pick it and weave it for my stair carpets.

NicNocJnr · 29/05/2012 11:30

That is dangerously hippy territory. You are only allowed to be a hippy from the ages of 16-19 if you are middle class and only to irk your parents.
You are allowed to be a hippy if you are upper class but only if you completely subvert the ethos by buying everything pre-hippied and paying other people to do things for you.
