    PUPPY THUMBS!! /POS
    wow, some of these are great - particularly love the neckl-ICE, though I would have to wear it on top of clothing rather than next to skin to avoid ice burn. the sweat gutters are just wonderful, I feel that there is definitely room to adapt for tears as well 😁

    I've read that Green Wing is to return! It was such a weird watch at first and I hope ALL the original characters/actors are in it.

    Can I say NFTs.

    The craze over them was just… I couldn't understand it.

    ceramic and other ornaments! I mean honestly, hand on heart, who needs a 2" high perfectly painted robin on the tabletop.

    Definitely agree about NFTs @Jimm_Scope. What's the point?

    Now I may have to disagree with you there @Cantilip. They're not necessary inventions but I do love an ornament 😂

    @Rachel_Scope I didn't say I don't have any! More existential questioning of why I keep them!

    Haha another ornament hoarder! @Cantilip I just love looking at them, they bring me joy. But also a lot of dust!

    I think Bill and Ben the flowerpot men should make a comeback 🤔

    Or a 3" long viking boat your 43 year old son made at infant school….😁 I just can't get rid even though his children laugh at it 😅

    That's brilliant @vikingqueen 😂 Cat ornaments are always ok @Jimm_Scope!

    I have many cat ornaments! What happened to me was I shared a 3-floor house with my parents, then just my mum, divided into separate flats, and it was fine, and one of the things that made it possible for me to look after her and work full-time when she got very old. Then she died leaving me with a house packed to the attic with ornaments, books and large old furniture and I had to get rid of a lot of it to move into my present flat which, although spacious, is still only two rooms k+b. But of course I still had too much and what I have kept pretty much has the status of rescue animals! So-o-o for 8 years now I have continued to declutter and my relationship with possessions is just a little rocky.

    I got some ‘Egyptian’ ordaments a few years back in Spain. They are actually a resin statue with a copper type covering. Looked quite good. We got the Tutankhamen face mask amongst others. We had a look to see if we could get any more but found a newspaper report the company had been prosecuted for importing proper Egyptian antiques. Ooops. And no these are not real.
