Yup. Sad, Angry, Laughing and one I shall describe as Bored. Bit like a Yes/No pillow only this head will be for my husband to use when I show him my latest shoes. :D

In my kitchen I have white/cream/grey stripe cabinet doors so have gone for a light grey ceramic floor which goes well with the dining area which has pine furniture.

I guess what I am trying to say is that you would be safer thinking about what colours would go best with whatever colours you can't change in the room(s). Laminates come in a massive range of colours and effects so take some colour swatches with you to a show room. Much better than asking us lot. :D :D :D

Four tyres for the Colt CZ1. Not too special: 175/65 R14.

Got them for a very Christian price of £239.96 Balanced, fitted and VAT included.

Local specialist supplier that I always use. They also provide support for local motorsport teams and there's often stacks of slicks and specials in the workshop.

One less thing for the MOT man to fret over on Monday.

A Philips Hue Motion Sensor.

Set it up in the kitchen, so when I walk in with hands full they lights turn on and turn off 2 minutes later when I've left.

I just need to tweak the day/night modes and set it so that in the summer the lights wont turn on during the day.

Crikey Hom3r, with the amount of sensors and things you've been buying lately . . . you'll be looking at a Faraday cage next :D

Well, now you mention it :D


My car is a keyless start, so I'm looking for a decent box to put the keys in?

Do your keys not have motion sensors built in?

I just use a layer of aluminium foil which covers the whole of the inside of a nice wooden box.I also did the same with my wallet. It's a lot cheaper and just as effective.

Of course other more expensive solutions are widely available. :)

A new car for SWMBO (the final part of her 40th birthday present)

A nice round trip of 250 ish miles to Grimsby was how I spent my Sunday
