    There was a program a while ago (may well still be on) about guessing what kind of person live in the home by just looking what is lying around, hanging on the walls, inside the drawers and cabinets, food in the kitchen/fridge etc...


    So if somebody would have to judge what kind of person live in your home without seiing you, what would they say?

    My home would certainly suggest that a horde of lively children -Pippi Longstrump style- leave their mark everywhere...

      :D Ha ha.. Pippi Longstocking yes.? Ooh I used to read them as bedtime stories lots of times to my daughter many moons ago now..
      I think my house reflects me quite well.. Eccentric but tidy with an air of organized chaos around the edges... :heehee:

      Ooooh now ...... :o

      My home would say i'm a clean and tidy minimalist. Have awful expensive tastes. Love cream interiors and luxury. Like bringing the outside 'in' (via large windows) and love the 1970s !

      Putting that into print is frightening, it's like baring your soul :o :heehee:

              Mine would say....... The cats are really spoiled. Well lived in but needs some work. Plants aren't just for outside. Sit down and get comfortable.

              My house would say 'since when was I a greenhouse', any chance some plants could go outside :) I am doing my best, limited to windowsills.

                MMMmmmn I love tripe, only thing is it is not sold up in FIFE or Scotland
                I like it as it comes with Salt and Vinegar, plus crusty bread
                Or just as it comes with Salt and Vinegar whilst partaking of Beer :love30:

                You can very ocasionally get frozen "blanket" Tripe
                They have never heard of the "quality" "Honeycombe" Tripe, Cowheel, or Udder


                Going down Sarf tonight, and hope to do some shopping
