    For Mother's Day, my Dh suprised me with a Personal Style Counsel session. He'd seen me watching Trinny and Susannah - (and I always say 'Gee I wish someone would do that to me!) It was a great experience ,and I thank him every day when I get dressed.

    ETA - Happy birthday for yesterday Bath!!

    A tomato knife. It was one of these party plan things and came free when I spent over a certain amount (on a muffin tray and a trifle dish - expensive party plan!).

    How did I live without a tomato knife for so long?

    Along the lines of a tomato knife, a hand held cheese slicer. Just a stick with 2 bits of wire. Would never had thought of it and had not even seen one. Almost wrote it off as yet another cheap gift from my mum, but boy am I happy we gave it go. Reminds me, I need to buy another as I have somehow lost out last one.

    Bath - Woo hoo on the pool table and the pink cue!

    tomato knife = knife for slicing tomatoes. It has a specially serated edge so it doesn't make the tomato go all splurky when you cut it: you can cut really fine slices with it. Love it!

    Tomato Knives: Ahhh sounds like a smaller version of my bread knife that I also have discovered cuts tomatoes beautifully. Approx how long is it? Maybe a steak knife would also do the trick?

    My pool cue is a gorgeous shade of pink Astrid... pale pink, pearly, with a white bit of curved stripe around the handle area. Looks a bit phallic LOL but otherwise a beautiful object. Says 19oz... and I'm curious as to whether that makes it a heavy, medium or light cue. It felt good when I used it yesterday though. Might have to start a thread about Pool!
