Genius!! Now you got me wanting to make them!!! Ohhh... ok - I am going to bookmark this and I am going to refer to it when I am bored and have no job... will give me something to do while Jeremy is at work

Maybe we could have a super-sized UK pot luck?!?! We all bring some kinda giant UK food and eat all night while gossiping about random stuff

Ooh no, how cruel of you to share those delicious looking links...I'm trying to go sugar-free!

Guinness is an excellent name for a cat! My parents' rescue cat is called Murphy - and his brother was Guinness!

I loooooove my duvet here in the UK but it's growing rather old and stained now (well, only about four years old, but I spilled tea on it in my third year of uni - never did get the stain out) so I wouldn't bring it over, but it's rather tempting to buy a new pocketed goose-feather one especially to ship to the US. It wouldn't need to be a heavy tog as California never gets too cold...

Some of those pimped snacks really need to be in my possession

Especially the Jaffa Cake of Justice.

Great site.

I am very pleased to report that the duvet situation has improved here in the Elm City -- we are going down to one duvet as of this evening. We were WAY too hot last night.

WOO HOO! Spring is springing at last!

Yes, where is Alan these days? I need more ranting in UK VJ!

Yay for spring having sprung. I kinda don't mind the cold this year, as far as I'm concerned, it's my last

So was the problem with the duvets that it's hard to find a really warm one? cos i'm guessing I won't need one of those where I'm going

You know it! Thanks for the note of approval.

The problem was that the one we did have wasn't quite enough for winter (we're at the top of the house and there's no radiators up there -- and the laws of physics are defied as no heat rises up there!). I could have found a warmer one, but as we're also moving to LaLaLand, what's the point?

I just want my old John Lewis one back!

Any boyos here nervous about the game with France in 30mins or so?

Stu

Still celebrating, I guess?

Still celebrating, I guess?

My throat is still sore from yelling so much. I nearly burst into tears when the ref blew the whistle

Darren is an England fan, of course, but was happy that Wales won...I guess I'm going to have to learn about rugby when he gets here, or I will be a rugby widow during rugby season!!! I'm going to have to teach him about American football, and he will teach me about rugby!!!

We've put one on our wedding list... of course it is expensive so we might not get it but who knows

I have never understood the lure of duvets (called 'doonas' in Australia ) - I almost always get too hot, and even if it's only a TINY bit too hot, where can you go? duvet off - freeze; duvet on - too hot

give me layers of blankets, so I can control my environment

can't wait to get my lovely Onkaparinga blankets out of storage... pure wool, with a satin edging... lovely

[Jeraly 4]

Ahh - I can always lie on top of my duvet under a sheet if it gets too hot - I control my temperature by sticking my feet out It's pretty funny cause my brother does exactly the same
