Annoying Christmas presents

treading on something sharp or unpleasant underfoot.

Or even worse, stubbing a little toe on that piece of timber that you forgot was near the bathroom door at the top of the stairs, but hidden in the gloom.

Such as the exposed carpet gripper on the stairs here :-)

I use the central heating to keep the bedroom at a reasonable temperture. Don't then need an electric blanket. ;-)

I thought that was sandals.

And I say "bollocks!" to that one because oddly, sandals hurt my feet without socks.

I say more than bollocks, mine has two words one of which is "off".

me too

I don't get how it is supposed to work either

However, I solve the problem by never wearing sandals

I use Lidl's fleece lined Crocs. Good for indoors, and also out if dry weather.

That's it - spill the beans.

You know that women might read this newsgroup and get ideas of their own!

... before shaking their heads in bewilderment and skipping away to the relative safety of mummysnet for the big decisions of teddybears or bunnyrabbits for the wallpaper (probably choosing bunnyrabbits in the hope little Joshua will grow up to be a vet)

Owain

... the best sort of beakers for the bedside cabinet.

And it's NOT my fault he graduated as a lawyer. The bunnyrabbit wall paper is still in the wardrobe and I'll fit it when I have the time AND when you stop nagging about me fitting it.

More likely is they'd come here hoping to read about DIY topics. ;-)

Another failure for hope over experience!

Took my wife ten years to convince me we needed a dog. That was nearly seven years ago now, and no regrets. Dog is walked twice a day, every day and, particularly since retiring, means I get a decent walk every day too, whatever the weather. Would be too easy to look at the rain and decide not to bother, were it not for the dog.

We still go for a walk every day, without the necessity to pick up s*it.

And without having to worry whether the dog has rolled in something.

Another animal's s*it, for example.
