well, they don't have to be real knives. Metaphorical knives maybe. You know, something to sharpen you up, give you a point to living and cut throught the bullshit. Knives in this context represent something fun yet dangerous. Recklessness. Maybe you could look at getting some new carpet for the lounge, or perhaps try that quilted toilet paper from the advert.

I'm going to go to work on Louise on sunday night. It'll go: Drill, knife, knife, drill, screwdriver, drill, knife, and finally washing machine.

kind of halted at the moment, but I did see Mikey and Grace from Big Brother while we were waiting in IKEA to try and get some wood replaced. At the flar, there are boxes everywhere. Not just moving boxes but also flat pack furniture boxes as well. I'm probably going to have a crack at a Billy bookshelf tonight. I bet there's plenty of people here who also have Billy bookshelves.
Really though, I've quantam leaped into another life. At work I recently got both a bonus and a pay rise, and today I received a pack of business cards. So between that kind of thing and then spending my nights drinking britta filtered water and putting clothes into a washer dryer, it's like I've shed my skin. Somewhere in Finsbury park, there must an eyeless, mouthless husk. A crinkled translucent shell of the body that I discarded when I signed the mortgage. Hopefully, the floppy ribbons that were once my fingers are wrapped around a bottle of Nigerian Guiness Export.

And! Today I drove to Stockton and met a former British rollerskating champion. She was ace, all bubbly and enthusiastic, full of positive energy.

there's a joke to made about her being full of positive energy and the kind of static charge you might get from your nylon trousers, but I can't think clear enough to make it. Maybe like
"what with her positive energy and your nylon trousers, I'm sure the atmosphere was very charged! LOL"

Ah benway, you have joined the ranks of the billy bookcase owners.
I love Billy bookcases. I do not have any, but I have saved up enough enough money to buy three - yes, three and with glass doors! Also three slim matching things for my DVDs and CDs to slip beside and between them.
Ah, be still my beating heart.

We've also got Pax Wardrobes, which I'm sure you've seen as well. I didn't know you could get doors for the bookshelves though. That could work. Prevent any actual colours from being on display.

I wore polyester trousers.
I read this and got a rather confused picture of a pair of balls with hair on end due to static electricty.
Then I realised you were talking about golf balls.

I've taken my Billy bookcase round five different domiciles. I can barely believe that. What a little trooper. At the moment it lives in my room at the top of the house where it holds computer games, comics and hardcore pornography.

Asthma prevention. They are expensive but worth it.
We are having to replace the central heating so I am postponing the bookcases until we do as I am having radiators moved and might as well replaster a few rooms first. I can't abide doing this sort of stuff. God knows how ralph can manage to build a whole house. No wonder the poor sod is depressed.

Yes! Ikea in America. When I lived in Pennsylvania I had an Ikea about ten miles from my home. In New Jersey there were two within fifteen miles. When mrs. ralph decided we needed some cheap, real wood furniture, we both thought Ikea! But the nearest one was ninety miles away. I made the trip anayway because Ikea does indeed have real wood furniture for very little money.

We will not be doing it ourselves. Mr Sam is getting on, you know, and might sprain his groin or somewhere delicate like that such as is easily damaged in men who are over 40, or so I have heard, and I am a laydee and don't do that sort thing.

I have a vague memory we talked about this before.
Either that or we knew each other in a previous life. My first moment of deja vu on tmo.
Why aren't you making your own furniture?

Surely that is the pioneer spirit? Get someone else to sort out your warmth and food, and then in return you wipe them out with disease and guns.

Lack of time. Lack of skill. Mostly lack of time, as I currently not only work full-time, but I also do the majority of the laundry, the cooking, the cleaning, the shopping, and when I have a moment to spare, I try to work on the "little house".
