Desperate House Husband

As the new series of Desperate Housewives begins over in the States (God bless my US iTunes account) it dawns on me again just how domesticated I am...

Whilst browsing through the Harrods website the other day (I think it was the morning before I went to visit the gents down at the Oxford and Cambridge club now I ponder it) I found the most delightful cutlery.

Now see I really do like good cutlery and in fact last time I was in Harrods (with my ballroom dancing partner Kate) I had an indepth discussion with one of the staff there about our tastes in cutlery and how tacky we thought the golden stuff looked.

The link's stupidly long, so you'll have go look at the Harrods silverware collection to find it... Carrs New York, its pretty front page worthy.

That's simply scrummy right? 

A couple of key things to note... it looks absolutely beautiful... it'll go wonderfully with my modern looking square plates... its at a bargainous 70% off (now I only want the stainless steel version so have a click round and you'll find a 124 piece set for just £350) but most curiously... it has a light musk scent and comes with a firming body lotion.

Well I've assured my friend Bex this is merely a website error and the cutlery is in fact not scented but I shall endeavour to pop down to the shop floor and find out for myself this weekend...

coke + free itunes = many musical toilet trips

finally a legitimate way to finance my coke habbit... on offer at two for £1.29 at my local store, the mini bottles cost me just 64.5p each... but then each comes with a free itunes download, worth 79p. I'll inevitably get through that many itunes downloads in a couple of months so its like discounted music and free drink... bargain!

i have just bought 10... to start with

toast of the bunch

When Krups the Komplicated Koffee machine woke up this morning he noticed instantly that the vision of his sleep-filled eyes was obscured by a large blue monolith... 'how odd' thought Krups... who turned to Kath the rather kalm kettle for some sort of an explanation.

Krups himself was pretty new around these parts and couldn't quite remember if large blue monoliths were a regular feature of Saturday morning's or something of note. Kath, who didn't often say much, didn't say anything which led Krups to believe she was either asleep, shocked into silence, being slightly rude or unable to speak Coffee Machine.

Krups turned instead to Timmy the timely toaster who always had a knack of popping up at the right time, 'surely he'll know' thought Krups.

'Morning' said Krups
'Awight, How do?' said Timmy
'Good morning' said Kath, which greatly surprised Krups who had long since suspected that she was either asleep, shocked into silence, being slightly rude or unable to speak Coffee Machine.
'Allo Allo Allo' said Oliver the old oven, which greatly surprised everyone who had never heard of a talking oven before.
'HELLO EVERYBODY!' cheered the blue monolith, which led to a few tired, surprised and grimmacing faces.
'Morning Krups, Timmy, Kath and Oliver' said Harry the homely hob.
'Morning Harry' replied Krups, Timmy, Kath and Oliver.

*BOOINNG*

Everyone looked to Timmy expecting to see a crisp slice or two of toast protruding from his head, but none was to be found. 'Look!' mumbled Krups, doing his best to use his jug handle to point to the blue monolith... he's got toast in him!!

The blue monolith turned slowly to face the others, and they were universally relieved and simultaneously terrified to see the huge great smile that he had.
'Hi guys!' he chirped 'I'm Gary the toaster!'
'Well' thought Timmy, 'the cheek of it! I'm the only toaster in this counter...'
'How odd' said Krups, ' i thought everyone round here's name alliterated!'
'Quite!' said Timmy, 'and what are you so happy about anyway?'
'Funny you should ask!' cheered Gary, 'I'm Gary the gluten-free griller! I'm just happy cos i've got none of that dirty gluten in me'

And the appliances nodded slowly, turned away and got back to their own business. Not much later Gary was picked up by one of the giant folk and placed on a really high shelf by the door to the great beyond.

'Well, well' said Timmy, 'I hope he's not gonna be touting for my business!'
'No, no' replied Krups, who's smarmy, know-it-allness was already wearing a bit thin, 'I think they'll still be using you, you see IT'S JUST GLUTEN FREE STUFF THAT GETS TOASTED IN GARY THE GLUTEN FREE GRILLER!'
