debsgw not sure what the answer is to be honest 3snugglebunnies but I think GardenGerty has some really good suggestions and we try hard to source local stuff when we can find (and afford) it. Every little has to help though it can be tough these days to stick by our...

debsgw Its that dry sense of humour that gets me everytime lol - another band that surprised me with a ballad was the Stranglers Golden Brown - I love that song and still struggle to reconcile it with the Stranglers punk stuff - never much liked punk rock but had a...

Do you like romantic movies? What was the most memorable one you can remember. I think Somewhere In TIme with Jane Seymour and the late Christopher Reeves. I also like Murphy's Romance, The Notebook, Penny Serenade, Terminator 1,...

debsgw Hi Celtic - yes that was the one! It's awful when something is on the tip of your tongue and you just can't quite grasp it isn't it lol? I think they have as much chemistry as the Richard Gere / Julia Roberts partnership in Pretty Woman - mind you I have...

debsgw Oh yes - Notting Hill and Love Actually, great films :) I loved Australia too - that was Hugh Jackman though wasn't it? He can be really romantic can't he - I also liked him in Kate and Leopold I think it was called with Meg Ryan.

The nominees for the Oscars were release on Jan 25th. I was happy to see both Black Swan and Inception got nominated for best picture. Some of the other nominees were ones I expected like Social Network, True Grit and the Fighter....

debsgw me neither but I love to see who gets nominated and then goes on to win, some years it can be quite surprising like The Hurt Locker winning out over Avatar - was that last year? lol - time goes by so fast.. I enjoyed Inception though it took a lot of...

I will let you decide! Last week when John was off work we went round to look at some "knock-off" radiators stored in his Mum's garage. Now, I could tell the MIL was irritated by my presence (even though we did...

debsgw I love that "if it's not needed or not wanted, it's not helpful. (so there)" lol how many times have we all been there over one thing or another? It is a bit of a competition with the in laws when you first get married / start living with someone isn't...

Andy Gray is a co-commentator and soccer pundit on Sky Sports and he's got into hot water over comments (off-air) regarding a female linesperson, along with his sidekick Richard Keys. Eventually, Gray got sacked as Keys has...

debsgw It's just been awful for so many people and so unexpected. I'm really glad that you guys weren't caught up in the worst of it. I can't imagine how horrible it would be to see your home destroyed that way.. Talk about being in the right place - to think that...

debsgw No worries there :) I'm glad that you didn't let those doubts get the better of you and can't wait to hear how it goes. It sounds as if some people have had really positive experiences of working with them and that's always a good thing to know.
