...Homecraft.

Where we can discuss all the small, but oh-so-important, things involved in keeping our homes running in a ship shape and Bristol fashion.

Welcome jingl smile those small things are so important aren't they?

Icyalittle Sat 14-Dec-13 09:03:07

Is this a wind-up?

bluebell Sat 14-Dec-13 09:05:02

Of course it is ( going back to MN - it's funnier)

kittylester Sat 14-Dec-13 09:07:32

It appears to be! icya.

Splendid idea jingl - where else could I announce that for the first time in my adult life I have a washing-up bowl, delivered yesterday by Ocado grin

As Lona says .... it's the small things. smile

I think jinglbellrocks is a journo.

Icyalittle Sat 14-Dec-13 09:13:37

New pinny or oven gloves for Christmas, anyone?

If serious, Welcome to GN - we have had lots of similar threads thanks. 300 of them under the "house and home" - a rich vein for you to mine.
If not serious well, hey, we have done this a few times too.
Am now a dry well of housework related humour myself.

Ana Sat 14-Dec-13 10:32:46

We have got a House and Home forum. There's some good stuff about washing tea towels and rotary clothes dryers on it... tchgrin

Ana Sat 14-Dec-13 10:33:18

(Not washing rotary dryers!)

Soutra Sat 14-Dec-13 11:03:16

Bristol based grannies would presumably be at an advantage hmm

Galen Sat 14-Dec-13 11:10:16

I suppose I could be described as shipshaped--- a galleon in full sail!tchgrin

Soutra Sat 14-Dec-13 12:22:59

"As stately as a galleon..........." (Joyce Grenfell) tchgrin

I had a ewe like that once. She was huge. Was also occasionally referred to as "a symphony in beige"

joannapiano Sat 14-Dec-13 13:19:15

Can't wait for Christmas Day to receive my new bread bin DD2 is getting
me! (Couldn't afford the one I wanted as DH's new hearing aids cost so much) Can't believe I've come to this!

Stansgran Sat 14-Dec-13 15:20:52

I would like a silicon macaroon mould in my Xmas stocking. And I've just put a ham hock in the slow cooker. And ironed DH's hankies which is a very soothing occupation while the wind is blowing the feathers off the birds. Life isn't all haha hehe as the wise mother said.

Riverwalk Sat 14-Dec-13 15:23:53

'Homecraft' .... sounds so soothing! tchsmile

Galen Sat 14-Dec-13 15:35:34

Is it a craft or an art?
Apropos of which I once found a book called 'the art of fatherhood' in the section labelled arts and handicrafts?
