People keep fireworks because they are only legally available for purchase during a 4-day period each year, leading to stockpiling.
I'm helping a young person refurbish their first home and while the carpet through the lounge and hall still has a few years left in it, the bedrooms were too bad and needed lifting. The main carpet is light brown/creamish toning, textured, so an approximate colour match would be amazing. … View moreI'm helping a young person refurbish their first home and while the carpet through the lounge and hall still has a few years left in it, the bedrooms were too bad and needed lifting. The main carpet is light brown/creamish toning, textured, so an approximate colour match would be amazing. Measurements coming, but just wondering if anyone has any good reasonable room-sized carpet they are replacing and would like bought or taken away????

When overseas especially in USA, they ask, since our Christmas is in summer, if we have Santa and Christmas day on 25 December.
Yeah nah, DAH.
There's a a lot of planning that goes into Christmas day and sometimes things just don't go to plan. But it can be a good thing - a family mishap or hilarious memory that you can laugh about in Christmases to come.
Whether you burnt the dinner or were stranded at an airport...

For Suellen’s family, that showstopper is Croquembouche, an impressive tower of cream puffs bound together with spun sugar that is popular at weddings in France and Italy.
What began as a birthday treat at a local French café has become a cherished Christmas tradition for Suellen and her 17-year-old twin granddaughters, Ellie and Sadie. Every year, the trio gather in Suellen’s apartment at William Sanders Village to cook this festive dessert - a holiday highlight they all treasure.
