to start a Middle Class Cozee Corner Right Here?

[Hullygully]

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.

(trufax).

Only if its big

I think it has less to do with the size of ones unit and more to do with how many one possesses

is possesses a word lol

We don't have a television. We prefer to play parlour games after supper, though I did see one of those terribly large television sets through a common persons window once when I was out excercising the alpacas.

How many "tellies" (sic) one possesses must be assessed in relation to number of rooms/outbuildings/annexes one possesses.

We have eleven rooms and two "tellies" (spread across one house on three floors and one outbuilding on two).. An elegant sufficiency, I believe.

at Megatron - Did you take the alpacas for a turn around the little wilderness area near your estate

Is it alpacas that Linda Snell in the Archers has?

you dont need to call her Linda Snell in the Archers, just Linda Snell & we will all understand who you mean....well everyone who... counts....

Naturally Dances. I let them gambol round the lake while I sit in one of the summer houses with Kirsty Allsop making lovely little trinkets to give our friends as Christmas gifts. I'm making candles at the moment. Such fun.

My DDs and I spend hours and hours baking and icing bags of Christmas cookies and making cards for all their classmates last year. Afterwards I asked them if they enjoyed doing it all and DD1 said "Well yes - but next year can we just buy them at Tesco's like everybody else"

Ooh yes, ten rooms here and only two tellys, one's a drawing room and we have the original tesselated floor in the hall. I also know someone who has a Picasso etching (in the downstairs bog ).

Sainos in Putney always has langue de chat biscuits and bath olivers whereas Sainsburys in Wandsworth doesn't.

we have four (none in dc's room btw) what does that make us haha?

marriedinwhite and why are you shopping in Putney Sainsbos when there is a perfectly serviceable Waitrose in the Exchange?

verity clinch ooh, are you local? Because the Waitrose is split into two halves, much too crowded and you have to queue for the car park. And, I've lived here since before the Putney Exchange was even built, now the Lacey Road Market was something else!!

But, back to this thread I think it's all about shoes. You can only be middle class if you have a pair of delectable LK Bennett's in your wardrobe

Morning MC-massive

Time for a - fire up the esspresso machines and french presses. Anyone having instant or who says expresso is asked politely to leave the thread.

married - I am eccentric in my shoes and wear nothing with a heal. But I do have a pair of Fatface plimpsoles and a pair of Cath Kitson plimpsoles. I am in danger of tettering to close to the edge here?

heal - nice one I mean heel. Clearly.

Bonsoir - that was I typo I promise.

iseenodust you didn't make your own popcorn ? I buy it in waitrose and sprinkle it with sea salt. Dahling

We don't have a telly [trounces all boasting re size of telly]

marriedinwhite we used to be local, we lived in Fulham. Dragged the toddlers to Gymboree in Putney regularly!

But in January we, in true MC fashion, swapped our outgrown Fulham terrace for Grade II listed beauty in a Kent market town. Which also has a Waitrose, luckily.

We have an amazing tesco near us - it stocks fresh, proper pretzels and an enormous range of ethnic foods (including thai jasmine rice in sacks !).

Doesn't everyone know it's terribly affected and new money and of course rather non-u to use one's French instead of English, in England? And I thought we were all plu. .

Now, I must put some scent on and check myself in the glass before helping with the church fete on the lawns. Always so terribly busy.

That was just a Freudian slip Dances . You said 'heal' because you were thinking about that lovely sofa you are about to buy from Heals.
