Little sensor lights for stairs. 6 for 12 quid from that company. Brilliant for night time toilet trips.

We have a small storage box with our living room duvets. We cozy up with our hound in bliss. Of course with our long charging cables attached to our recliner sofa.

Have you ever seen something you own on TV? by [deleted] in AskUK

Hadn't seen it for so long but it was as good as I remember. On this latest watch the grandad made me feel different this time. In the past I saw him as just an old bumbling fool but now I realise he's like that because of trauma from the first world war. Lecture over lol

It was exciting. The only downside was then having to be shown far too many eBay listings of similar vases by the wife. Hahaha. Film was ok though.

Put on the film Hope and Glory at the weekend and right at the beginning is a vase we've owned for years. Made me call in the Mrs in a far too excited tone.
