Hello Everyone smile
Just wanted to get this in first wink

Fancy some verbal jousting; a bit of rumble; a good old punch up?

Well, you're in the right place! Enjoy!

Any ideas for potential topics please?

MissAdventure Wed 17-Feb-21 21:08:04

Of course!

I can't remember where I got my miserable hanging mantra.
I'm sure it was in a gift shop, "back in the day".

DillytheGardener Wed 17-Feb-21 21:02:17

MissAdventure where did you buy this from? I need one immediately. It’s like the covid version of mine ? I have painted textured wallpaper too to add to my sins, along with cushions on their points. Do fake plants count too?

Well, cushions are square and pillows are oblong. Except if you are in the US when sometimes it's the other way around. Oh, but what about floor cushions?

The word cushion no longer has any meaning

Ellianne Wed 17-Feb-21 20:59:51

You're getting competitive like me Molly. I've just been up in the loft to get a pair of my summer cushions for tomorrow.

Mollygo Wed 17-Feb-21 20:53:33

We have one room with lightly textured wallpaper painted and just repainted for a lockdown activity so now I am truly offended. I’m going round arranging my cushions on their points just to enjoy the thought it will irritate some.
LauraNorder, Would metal hens be as irritating as china dogs?

MissAdventure Wed 17-Feb-21 20:52:47

Shall we make a clique, Barmey? grin
I've thought about changing my decor, but then thought it doesn't actually bother me that much to go to the expense and trouble.

Barmeyoldbat Wed 17-Feb-21 20:50:00

Mssadventure I will gang up with you as I have a beautiful artexed ceiling in the sitting room and a serving hatch. Life is just to short to bother about changing things and keeping up with the latest trend. Anyway leave it long enough and it will come back into fashion.

I’ve even tried to rile a sleeping Scot with the vision of Nicola and Boris on one cushion.

I did find a picture of a cushion with Nicola and Boris on but it was too rude to post grin. Here's a poor second. Nicola's favourite pin cushion.

MissAdventure Wed 17-Feb-21 20:23:26

Which didn't post.

MissAdventure Wed 17-Feb-21 20:21:38

I have the miserable person's version of "Live, laugh, love" in my (artexed) kitchen.

MissAdventure Wed 17-Feb-21 20:15:19

You've insulted me.
The whole of my flat is artexed and woodchipped.
I even did some of it myself!
I also have a serving hatch...
Tasteful, me. smile

DillytheGardener Wed 17-Feb-21 20:11:57

LauraNorder I have 2 of the things you hate, guess which? My house is als pebble dashed and I have live laugh love sign in my kitchen ????

grandmajet Wed 17-Feb-21 20:11:30

Sapele. B...y spell check

grandmajet Wed 17-Feb-21 20:10:51

I have a bedroom with some woodchip paper. But I hate it too so not insulted!
What is a shapeless door? I’m not insulted but I am ignorant.

LauraNorder Wed 17-Feb-21 20:07:34

Ffs I hate artexed ceilings, sapele doors and painted embossed wallpaper. Wood chip paper and matching china dogs in the hearth.
Surely I’ve insulted someone now.

grandmajet Wed 17-Feb-21 20:03:53

You know I didn’t mean that Doodle, how insulting!
Can I bring my little blow up travel neck cushion? It thought it would never go out again.

For those who’d rather have an argument I can’t even offer up some National pride after England lost the latest test match to India.

Looks as though it has to be Meghan and Harry again. Poor Harry dragged away from his cushioned life by a scheming actress. Bet she forces him to use a toilet brush.

As long as she wasn't using him as a toilet brush......he is royal after all....a royal flush??

LauraNorder Wed 17-Feb-21 20:02:59

Peach coloured leggings, need to get that vision out of my head

LauraNorder Wed 17-Feb-21 20:02:09

Oops forgot - not royal any more

LauraNorder Wed 17-Feb-21 20:01:23

Ellianne that should stir the royal we
Iyswim

Chewbacca Wed 17-Feb-21 19:56:54

Donald Trump leggings for those who really want to cause a stir?

lemsip Wed 17-Feb-21 19:54:42

GillT57 ha ha ha. wearing peach coloured leggings

love that. brilliant. can imagine the scene.

Ellianne Wed 17-Feb-21 19:54:26

Ok then.

GillT57 Wed 17-Feb-21 19:46:38

I whipped out my phone to call the village vigilantes of FB yesterday when I saw a half naked (lower half) woman striding along with her dog. Bare faced cheek! Then I realised she was wearing peach/flesh coloured leggings.
