Are they the same?

It's got very confusing

I don't like the word bitchy. It's sexist.

I don't like the royals either.

I'd like shutters.

In fact I'll settle for kind of home improvement.

Salmotrutta · 10/07/2014 22:48

I have an attic.

I have not got a cellar.

And I'm glad because then I'd just fill it with wine.

And then I'd drink the wine.

Oh, a sex tent is a tent that you 'sleep' in to get away from the teenagers.

We have teenagers everywhere.

ScrambledSmegs · 10/07/2014 22:49

I have shutters.

Thank fuck, I was feeling really inferior on the home front for a while there Grin

I will happily join you in your wine cellar Salmotrutta. Is that pronounced wine or waine?

Our attic is full of DHs car parts

and possibly quite a lot of my books

And old toys and games

and possibly quite a few of my old work files

It's houmous. Lord Sainsbury says so. Red pepper is actually a disappointment

The clincher is that the Grauniad spells it 'hummus' which tells us everything we need to know.

My wine rack is full of empty bottles (to take the bare look off it)!

Salmotrutta · 10/07/2014 22:54

It's "wine" Vintage.

No "waine" around these parts thankfully.

footballagain · 10/07/2014 22:55

Will they make my life complete? Please, please tell me they will. I'm having to sell my soul to the devil to afford the bloody things.

LineRunner · 10/07/2014 22:55

Yup, a whole MN year, usual.

I've obviously changed him.

HowsTheSerenity · 10/07/2014 22:56

Nougat - who cares how you pronounce it. Everyone knows it's really made from reconstituted dolphin fat.

LineRunner · 10/07/2014 22:56

Seriously I would love those blinds.

footballagain · 10/07/2014 23:02

blinds ? (splutters)

They are shutters. Do you mind!

Vintagejazz · 10/07/2014 23:05

Well I'm just going to put my serviette down and head to the toilet via the lounge.
By the way that's a lovely settee.

ScrambledSmegs · 10/07/2014 23:07

I love them. We've got the traditional solid wood shutters, not the fancy-schmancy louvred kind* (which are also vair nice). They keep you warm in winter, offer soundproofing, can be half opened for light but privacy etc. And they look great.

*This is mainly because we're crap at dusting.

footballagain · 10/07/2014 23:12

I must apologise. I've been sloppy with my description.

They are plantation shutters.

footballagain · 10/07/2014 23:13

Typing from my settee.........

TillyTellTale · 10/07/2014 23:17

Well, I have net curtains. For some reason, I initially typed yeti. No idea what a yeti curtain is. I googled and found out that the Yeti is a new model of Skoda car.

No newfangled, or indeed oldfangled, shutters here. Or Skoda Yetis.

Mintyy · 10/07/2014 23:24

Haha! I feel the urge (having never posted a picture on Mumsnet in my 8 years here or whatever the hell it is) to put a "how old do you think I am?" one up of me. I've just discovered how to share photos but the dc would hate me if I did them. Shall I? no, its probably not a good idea.
