Don't like Kit Kat, I don't like wafer and covering it in chocolate is a mean trick. Although strangely Kit Kat Chunky, well refrigerated, is lovely. Strange. If I had a Bounty I wouldn't be sitting on it, I'd be fighting Mr Yudster for it, they're his favourites. I like Topic. I also like the Sainsbury's own brand version of Mars Bars. I'm not proud.

Kit Kats taste better with a glass of milk, by da way.

I agree completely and I have never been able to fathom out why.

I don't like Bounty as I don't like coconut, but Mini Cheddars are nice.

Its wafer. Wafer is the biggest rip off in the world of confectionary. Its horrible. I like Snickers too, but Topic is nicer because peanuts are cheap and common, Topic has hazelnuts in and they are a bit classier.

Mini Cheddars are great. Don't mind Bounty but it's not my chocolate of choice.

Yeah but I mean I've never been able to fathom out why Kit Kat Chunky is nice. I don't eat nuts so that excludes Topics and Snickers for me.

I really can't come up with a better argument than "kit kats are nice" so I won't argue with you two any more!

But you are clearly wrong.

When I lived at home my Mam had loads of brass things which I used to enjoy cleaning cos you could see the finished effect I have nothing like this so it's all toilets, skirting boards and ironing here. To amuse me let me know about your fave/least fave tasks around the house and any entertaining mishaps you may have had.

I have managed to dye my fingers blue today because I answered my phone while still holding one of those blue things you put in the cistern of your loo, Ive scrubbed them but the stuff won't come off. Feels like I'm turning into Topher!


I think I hate doing housework full stop, because I'm very slow at it!! too fussy? "entertaining mishaps" - hmmm... well the following isn't really entertaining, but I once almost swallowed "bold automatic".... I'd had the powder in a cup, which I'd put into the machine.... I was tired, and had filled up the same cup with water, and started to drink it before I realised what had been in it... Luckily, I did realise, else I would have wound up in A&E.

awwww Viv 113! I'm glad you noticed...the only thing I have done where drinking things mistakenly is by starting to drink vinegar which was on my dinner table insted of my glass of milk...luckily it is quite quick to realise once drinking vinegar...that it isn't milk...eurk!

That stuff will do very little damage in small doses Viv, I don't think you would have had to go to A & E.

How can you mistake milk for vinegar even before you drink it? One's white and one's a translucent browny red colour.

You could give yourself stomach ulcers Kendra, then you won't be able to have vinegar ever again!
