The annual Mulberry sample sale is next Tues/Weds/Thurs above the main flagship Mulberry store in Bond Street. I have an invitation that I can pass on. You will need to RSVP to the invitation or your name won't be on the list and you won't get in (they're very strict!). PM me with your email details if you want an invitation sending to you.

Morrisons have surpassed themselves: ?4 meal deal


2 x Covent Garden Tomato Soup

1 x Pork Joint 900g

1 x Pack of carrots/potatoes/brussels

1 x Strawberry Trifle (looks a bit ugh but beggars ...)


Enough for four people, though if you are as greedy with roast spuds as we are, I'd top up with a few more potatoes.


Offer ends Sat 12th.


Cooking as I type - meal review later on!


Well - for ?4 can't moan. Need to rest meat longer than usual cos high water content. Am too full to face the lurid trifle. Only two of us, so loads left over for tomorrow.

Oh yes - carrot and swede bombe! You'll need a copper pan and an AK47....

This goes for carrots too.

But don't like I did go looking for parsnips. Never going to happen.

If it's the LP, no harm would be done.

The CD may be different, those jewel cases could cause abrasions.

Either way, let Roger Waters know, he'll get a song or two out of the situation.

You just not had much luck, daizie. Besides, having real ones would mean you wouldn't give a toss about hoovering the bleedin house anyway...


Here's a tip - avoid heating up water for your hot water bottle. Just use cold water straight from the tap, then lie on the bottle all night. In the morning - hey presto! A nice hot hot water bottle.

    • "Dedicated to the purpose-built student accommodation sector. PBSA News is the leading source of news, insights and analysis for professionals, investors and stakeholders in the purpose-built student accommodation sector. With a mission to provide the latest information and foster collaboration within the rental community."   The PBSA take on the strength of the market seems much more upbeat than does the govt. research paper. Perhaps they are right or perhaps it is in their interests to talk up the market?    
    • I think a lot of people here are just speculating about empty student accommodation properties. Student accommodation developments are very popular because they provide really great rates of return for the owner. A large student accommodation owner, Unite Students, saw 97.5% occupancy across their assets in the 2024/2025 academic year. They have many properties in London; https://pbsanews.co.uk/2024/10/09/unite-students-reports-record-occupancy-rates-in-q3-2024-update/ Here's a bit from CBRE on PBSA properties in London from May 2024: https://www.cbre.co.uk/press-releases/london-plan-policy-fails-to-deliver-affordable-student-accommodation - "According to new research by CBRE and QX Global, the gap between demand for PBSA and available supply in London currently stands at 100,000 – 105,000 full-time students, underscoring how demand for student housing has outpaced supply." - The development pipeline in London isn't keeping up with the demand. Ultimately this development wouldn't be built if student accommodation wasn't in demand. It's proximity to the station means that a student could get to any number of universities easily in a short span of time. Is it ideal? No. Would more affordable housing be better? Yes. Is speculating about channel migrants occupying the space uninformed idiocy? Absolutely.

    • it isn't said on any news source that I look at. Are you asking on social media whether what you read on other social media is true?
